Is there a page or anything anywhere that outlines the Rank structure? Like what rank is awarded at what level of posts or whatever is used for ranking? I searched but nothing came up, just curious what the whole ranking structure looks like.

Thanks!

So... Anyone from the website bother to review these questions at all?

Nobody is "supposed" to monitor these forums. We don't work for you ;) We respond when we are able and generally our members are usually able to assist other members.

If you used the search feature, you'd find the answer to your question instantly. I just entered the words "member ranks" in the search bar and came up with 3 links:

and

Here is the information, again:

Ok, I'm going to try to tackle this politely. Please don't read more into the following than is listed.

"Nobody is "supposed" to monitor these forums. We don't work for you"
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you kinda do, your ad revenue is generated by viewers and members to your pages, no visitors or viewers, no ad revenue. I also purchase items at the store, so that's my actual money going to your sites... So, ignoring the seemingly rude/unprofessional overtones here, you do kinda "work" for your members. They generate funds, this site exists for them, so your clients are your viewers and you work for your clients.

"If you used the search feature"
Maybe you missed where I explicitly typed out "
I searched but nothing came up". Now, granted I did not search for "Member Ranks", I searched for "Rank" "Rank Structure" and nothing came up. Looking at the headers for 2 of the 3 results you stated came up, neither of them appear from the headline/topic to be information about the ranking.

That out of the way, Thank you for posting the information I requested. I was surprised that this information wasn't available in the typical locations like an About or FAQ.

You're very welcome. Nobody was ignoring you. We prioritize our responses and it can take us a few days to respond to topics that aren't urgent.

@Matt Z My apologies. You're right. I was having a rough start to my week and took it out on you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
