To rank in this forum nowadays is very hard. This is because of the implementation of the merit system and we cannot do anything about it. To rank up you need to consider two factors: activity and merit. Both of which are hard to earn because when you talk about activity, it is time based and it depends in the time duration since you created your BCT account. Merit on the other hand, requires quality posting which this forum truly lacks and remember that your posts is what makes this forum. Keep in mind that you will not rank up even though you have reached the required number of activities because you also need to reach the number of acquired merit. That is all and goodluck in ranking up!
