Member Groups & Ranks

Here at FanficTalk, we have both member groups and ranks.  Ranks are based on your content (posts, statuses, and blog entries) count.  Member groups determine what you can see and do around the site, with the major difference (aside from staff/prefects) being which common room you can see.  You can be in more than one member group (Professor and Gryffindor, Prefect and Slytherin, etc.), one of which will primary and which will dictate which color your name appears around the site.  A person's primary member group is listed below their avatar/profile photo in the panel beside posts they've made.

 

Ranks

Each rank has pips associated with it.  They appear in the panels beside posts users make.  Your rank, along with the number of pips, increases as you post more content.  A breakdown of the ranks with the minimum content count for each is listed below.

  • new member - 0 content items -  0 pips
  • level one - 20 content items - 1 pips
  • level two - 40 content items - 2 pips
  • level three - 80 content items - 3 pips
  • level four - 160 content items - 4 pips
  • level five - 320 content items - 5 pips
  • level six - 640 content items - 6 pips
  • level seven - 1280 content items - 7 pips
  • level eight - 2560 content items - 8 pips
  • level nine - 5120 content items - 9 pips
  • level ten - 10240 content items - 10 pips

Switching Member Groups (Joining a House)

In order to switch your member group (change or join a house), you must either:

Note that house change requests are not granted while a competition/event is actively underway and will be delayed until after it is completed.  Requests may also be denied entirely if there appears to be suspicious activity associated with your account.

 

 

User Info Panel

The user info panel appears beside posts around the site.  It may not be visible if you are on a mobile device.  Some of the information is also displayed elsewhere, such as on profile pages and the mini profile pop-up that appears when hovering over someone's username.  Note that a user's rank may be overridden by a custom member title, but the pips will still appear.
