Well, the rank can be an indicator of how trusted the member is. I mean If we assume that you are doing a transaction of 50$. It's very likely that you will get scammed by the newbie because his account is worthless and he could make multiple others in a matter of seconds while that's not the case for Hero Member for example as It takes more then a year and someone who spend that much time on the forums will probably not scam for such a low amount.

There should be updates for VIP and Donator because the prices are so high by now.
Like in past the BTC was lower now is 3k.

This is a good system to reflect the rank of the user....
Going for member this month, not in a hurry ... 

It should only increase by another 14 activity. Potential activity is only gained by posting at least once during the activity period. If for example you posted 1 post in the first 14 days period, another post in the second period, and a third post in the third period. (your account will have 3 posts only) but will have a potential activity of 42 (14*3), as soon as you start posting, you will notice that your activity will start increasing until 42 then even If you bypass that number (in posts), the activity will get stuck at that number until another activity period.

How can this be so frustrating? We all went to this but I didn't feel disappointed. Actually I feel excited whenever I see my activity points increase by 14 every 2 weeks. And I think you don't get it. You don't get technical points by writing. You can even post once every day for two weeks and you can still get the maximum 14 point activity. Where are the risk then? Maybe the risk you are talking about it spamming the thread with countless posts that don't add anything to the discussion. And if you are unlucky, someone will report you the mods and your account ban. Posting has nothing to do with your activity points. And you need a lot of patience to get your rank upgraded. Remember 14 activity points every 2 weeks.

Yes that exactly how it works and to know the next activity reset periods check this document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA

No. Pretty sure that's never been a thing. Only VIPs and staff can do that. Contact an admin if you want to change your name but they rarely do it.

Thats why they are VIP cause they can splash that around 

Hello. Can someone tell me how much time to wait until i rank up to jr.member?
