Rankings
I know the "ranks" are purely based upon post count in certain areas, but what are the ranks? It seems they are only "updated" once a week on Lithium and it's confusing to tell what rank is what lol...

I'm a Senior now. Not an entirely flattering rank.
So far we have Freshman, Senior, and Tutor, right?
"Sadly based solely on number of posts, not content."
Yep, and that's just wrong.
The stuff on the Internet is a lot like the Wild West.
You just have to know how to tell the wheat from the chaff. That to me is where (with all Community Disclaimers aside) the Community Rankings come into play. Nothing of course is absoute, but with limited Mod comments to validate comments made by users and former "Champs" how are they to assess the "Help" posted in our now user to user Community.
For me, that means I am wasting a lot of time making long detailed posts that carry the same validity, the same weight if you will, as perhaps a post by curtis-m.
