Actually, I don't/didn't know that. I read technical stuff, and I'm not really interested in behind the scenes formulas of a web forum. I don't post when I have nothing of value to say. If that makes me a "newbie" so be it. I value quality over quantity.
It was just intended as a suggestion, because the documentation of the formula I found seemed to equally weight time on forum and posts. Guess not.
If you are referring to activity = min(time * 14, posts), time does not mean
time. "Time" means the amount of 2-week periods in which you have posted in, and it chooses the minimum of these anyway. And that's valid. If browsing gave you activity, then great, we've just given a way for bots to easily become Legendary members. If you're suggesting something else...I'm not sure what it is.
