I hope you all enjoy the new ranks. Here is how they now work:
As you post more, your rank goes up, that much is obvious. However, when your rank bar fills up, you earn yourself a gold star and begin ranking up once more. Instead of the previous 13 ranks, there are now 25. Now instead of going up to 10,000, they go up to 100,000. Furthermore, many ranks have become easier to obtain while others have become harder.
Here is a summary of each tier:
Posts 0-1 = Tier 1, no rank or progress bar
Posts 2-189 = Tier 2, no stars, black progress bar
Posts 190-749 = Tier 3, one star, navy progress bar
Posts 750-1499 = Tier 4, two stars, blue progress bar
Posts 1500-4999 = Tier 5, three stars, red progress bar
Posts 5000-24999 = Tier 6, four stars, platinum progress bar
Posts 25000-99999 = Tier 7, five stars, demonic progress bar
Posts 100000+ = Tier 8, five stars, glitched progress bar
