Stuck at 2000 activity

[bitmover]

Again, these things are vaguely defined. I see that you @bitmover have been on 2000 activity for quite a long time, even though you have enough points, posts, and karma points... maybe you should ask the admin about what is happening there.

Indeed this looks strange. I will ask admin.  We have joined the forum almost in the same time and you have 700+ activity than me


Edit: Split off-topic post from Karma requirements for ranks (dragononcrypto)

You're oversimplifying the ranking up process by thinking it's only based on time and posts, see Activity has stopped increasing: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=313216.0

Try voting in 50+ polls, that's the badge difference between the two of you it seems ;-)

Hopefully admin has an answer for you though.

I don't think this is the problem.. is it? Anyway, I just got the 50 pools badge.

But I can see it have less activity than most people. I see lucius has 2400 , and i don't think i was teleported much later than him.

I think there is some bug going on

I actually have 2500 and just got the badge for it - and I registered on the forum (not teleported) a week before you. I don't know what the issue is with the activity being frozen at 2000 because it hasn't happened to me, but I think that you have to take into account what is written in the link posted by @dragononcrypto.

The requirement for rank increase varies, and can depend on these factors:
- Post count : how many topics and posts have you created ?
- Karma : are your topics and replies getting positive karma?
- Online presence: are you present on the forum often, or just logging in posting the out.
- Registration date: when you signed-up, to prevent cheating with ranking.

I have done all that, just like you. I see no reason to be stuck at 2000.

ranking is based on activity
activity is not based on post count

Can you clarify this problem with my account admin?

Don't worry, Mate. It seems that almost all accounts experience it when we reach 2000, there have been cases like this, and it has become one of the discussions in our local forum. The point is, just let it be, later the number of activities will return to normal, it's just that, maybe each account will have a different period. At that time, I was stuck at 2000 activity for about 2 months or more, I don't really remember, I even forgot, and didn't realize that the activity had started again.

lol that makes absolutely no sense. This is completly pointless and random to just punish random people, preventing them from ranking up for no reason....

This just makes the whole system less efficient and less important than it should be.

ok i will shed light on this

activity is linked in a way to post number but not fully
at certain points the activity will freeze till the conditions are fulfilled to rank up
because ranking up rely on activity directly.
the 2000 freeze point was linked to a previous ranking requirement, that requirement have been changed (more post counts), but the freeze remained
yes i could have moved up the freeze point , i was lasy i didn't
but then kept it on purpose so that users stop associating activity with post count
that's the truth, the whole truth, so help me [God*]

I am stuck at 2000 I suppose I will go higher.

what comes after 2000?

[bitmover]

This shouldn't be normal.

The system is randomly punishing random users.
I joined with Lucius and examplens and there is  no reason to be behind them...

This is discourage and unfair... makes no sense  ...

Sounds completely normal.

It's not random, it's clearly calculated as admin explained. You didn't reach 2,000 activity before the ranking requirements changed, that's called "tough luck". This is literally what happens every-time rank requirements change; it effects users that haven't reached certain ranks or certain activity. Others might describe it as "you snooze you lose", as this is all that happened it seems.

It's like saying that it wasn't fair when merit was introduced on bitcointalk, because some users had already reached Legendary and others hadn't.


Have split off-topic posts to this new topic best I can (that had becoming nearly half of it) from here: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=325851.0

It's a usual question that has come up quite a few times, and admin has answers, so best not buried in an unrelated suggestion topic for benefit of others.

Also just the perks of having self-moderated topic

I've seen before that someone gets stuck at 2000 activities, but I haven't found an exact algorithm for when and why that number is exceeded. admin gave a formal explanation, but not direct facts.

So your stats say:

Code: [Select]

Total Time Spent Online:7 days, 12 hours and 37 minutes.
Total Posts:1369 posts
Activity:2000 (5.952 per day)
Total Topics Started:63 topics
Karma: 312

while my stats:

Code: [Select]

Total Time Spent Online:16 days, 23 hours and 19 minutes.
Total Posts:1576 posts
Activity:2710 (7.901 per day)
Total Topics Started:60 topics
Karma: 317
Everything is mostly the same, except I have written about 200 more posts. (And now I'm surprised by this difference in time spent on the forum.)

As we often participate in the same discussions, I noticed that, for example, dkbit98 recently crossed the 2000 mark. He also has a slightly higher number of posts than you, so everything leads me to the conclusion that this is an important part of the activity count.

Code: [Select]

Total Time Spent Online:11 days, 7 hours and 18 minutes.
Total Posts:1412 posts
Activity:2184 (1.149 per day)
Total Topics Started:75 topics
Karma: 179

activity freeze is what makes ranking harder, without activity freeze the post count would be the only factor

activity freezes till certain none post conditions are fulfilled
i will not go in details what these conditions are, to avoid users cheating their way through activity freeze
but in general what was mentioned multiple times before applies:
- including online presence (how often you visit the forum)
- other factors that i prefer not to disclose

[dragononcrypto]

Everything is mostly the same, except I have written about 200 more posts. (And now I'm surprised by this difference in time spent on the forum.)

That's like the difference between many users with different ranks, around 40 posts (difference between dkbit and bitmover) 

So basically to summarise the info you provided there (nice work with that):

- Hasn't posted enough for activity to unfreeze (1400 would be my guess if so)
- Hasn't been online enough (7 days compared to 11 is a huge difference)
- Didn't reach 2000 activity before the ranking requirements were changed

So this isn't "punishing random users", there are three clear reasons why bitmover could be stuck at 2,000 activity.

Personally I like the mystery of it all, as it does avoid users gaming the system more than usual.

Does activity freeze exist on any other count or only in 2000?
Should we expect more surprises?
