Can someone list all the rank tags you can obtain by messaging in order for my information, please? and how, long does it take to be an oracle?

Oracle is not something you can achieve just by participating. It's kinda like the senate, appointed for life, lol.

As for the others, you start as New in Town and work your way up to Mayor! I think we should add town/village idiot, I'd wor harder for that title!

Re: ranks

ChuckYeah — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 02:23:28 GMT

I remember, New in town, Good Citizen, Great Citizen, Model Citizen and Mayor, may have seen Deputy Mayor at some point.

There are only 8 Oracles in the whole Community, the rest is attainable within a year if you really put your mind to it. That being said, being a Mayor gets you $0 !

Personal satisfaction is the greatest motivator, not $$ or rank!

@am7777

Here is the help article on oracles:

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles?category=rewards&subcategory=the-oracle-program

Unless you are willing ot spend a couple of hours per day for at least 12 months in a row, you probably won't be invited to become an oracle.

Mayor will take at least 6 months + lots of posts.

I can promise you this is not true, lol.

I'm a "Mayor" and you can see all the Badges on my profile if you like - a few bucks discounted from every bill - along with Referrals and other Rewards which aren't displayed on my profile - I sometimes get some credits which will pay for subsequent billing cycles but my bill itself has never approached $0.

They invented a new category for you @darlicious ? Town ZERO? That's gotta hurt! 🙂

-------------------------------

I think chuck_grady was suggesting that being Mayor doesn't just get you something just for being a Mayor. You still have to work some. Like you where you've got 50%'s and 25%'s etc.

The only people that get anything just for existing are the Oracles. I haven't seen stonechucker for a while and I bet he's still getting his 20 bucks each renewal.

Assuming that someone stays a Community member many years, or passes the account to another person making it even a a generational accounts, it's entirely possible, in theory, to become a Community Mayor without actually earning any Community rewards.

That, however, is rather unlikely. A member would have to stay under the reward threshhold for the lowest reward level, and still manage to get over roughly 1000 of each bravos and posts.

Being a Mayor is also no guarantee of a Community reward each month.

Korth — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 06:14:47 GMT

Perhaps I did misunderstand. I was trying to say that being titled a "Mayor" here doesn't in itself bring any Rewards or discounts.

And I rather liked being a "Town Hero"... this "Mayor" stuff sucks... the celebrity status is too heady... I don't respect politics, rhetorics, and deskjobs; I do respect ethics, competence, and working for a living. ("Managerial" is filthy word in my vocabulary.)

But I'm with @ChuckYeah... "Village Idiot" is a great title... there should be plenty of room in this community for idiots.

Well, it would go well with @darlicious "Town ZERO" classification!

@AE_Collector @Korth @Anonymous @computergeek541 @ChuckYeah

Maybe town zero and village idiot could just be honorary one month badges....a little like employee of the month.

Re: ranks

Ed404 — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 07:34:26 GMT

I'm still a really low tier rank and I earned the top 10% badge! When will I evolve?

Re: ranks

ChuckYeah — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 12:14:19 GMT

I've wondered that myself. @Ed404 It likely happens when you pass certain parameters related to number of posts, solutions, bravos and perhaps even the number of badges you have. I remember spending a long time as a great citizen also, but from model to mayor happened within a month I think. Another secret algorithm at work!

Of course if were going with this i would have to nominate @annmary94 for permanent town floozy status.

Re: ranks

darlicious — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 12:27:20 GMT

@Ed404 While I'm sure the post/bravo/solution rate is part of the calculation the biggest indicator is time. If your stats are high then your rank promotions should occur at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 months. I noticed mine occurred at those intervals so far ....reaching town hero (hero yes hero...not ...zero...hero) it's still hard to say! Reaching town hero at my 4 month anniversay. Depending on what they consider your community start date you should be a model citizen in the next two weeks.

Not really secret. You can read all about it at the Atlas|Khoros Community (support) forums. You can even identify who's asking questions about what sorts of issues which specifically affect the PM Community, if that's your thing.

Usual parameters are Bravos and Solutions received, Bravos and Solutions given, number of threads and replies, length of membership. They're usually weighted so that last week or last 30 days is most relevant.

The exact parameters and weights are easily found in the Khoros install directories, but I don't know which exact version PM installed or what values they chose to input (since they obviously changed other Lithium/Khoros values off default).
