Is there a description of the sub-ranks?

[Reighelle]

I noticed that we receive ranks basedon our posts and active part in the community here. 

I read the provided ranks description, but the sub-ranks are not provided there.

Are they listed elsewhere, or can anyone describe this?

The forum ranks are automatic and don't have any bearing on character, skill or accuracy. They're awarded for basic ratios of participation, not content. They're a holdover from the Lithium engine that this forum is powered by and can safely be ignored.

Resident ranks (based purely on post count): Resident > Recognised resident > Honoured resident

Member ranks can Tag posts (rarely used) and comment on Knowledge Base articles (rarely useful) - rank based on mixed contributions: Member, Advisor

Contributor ranks can nominate topics for the Knowledge Base, start and edit Knowledge Base articles (not useful) - rank based on mixed contributions: Contributor

Helper ranks can edit published Knowledge Base articles - rank based on Answers, Kudos: Helper

Unused ranks: VIP
