@op, you are wrong, the fact that you teleported your account from bitcointalk to this forum doesn't mean that your rank on this forum is tied to your rank on bitcointalk, as a matter of fact, you can teleport your account here as a senior member rank on btt and thus forum, if you reach the requirements for a rank up to hero member on this forum before reaching same on bitcointalk, you will enter the hero rank here regardless of still being a senior member on btt.
The fact that we teleport our btt ranks here does not mean that our ranking up here completely depends on our progress on btt.
So, by this, we all need to worry about positive Karma, we all need to make good and quality posts on this forum to earn as much positive Karma as possible, for it will not only help us rank up, it will also contribute to us building a good reputation on this forum as well.
I hope this makes sense..
