Accounts which have been active for a long time, and are therefore higher rank, are more likely to have built up a good reputation than a newbie account. Conversely, simply being active for a long time doesn't automatically mean more trustworthy. So although highly trusted accounts are more likely to be highly ranked, higher ranks aren't inherently more trustworthy.
Why we need ranks then? Maybe better to operate without ranks - above Full Member
I'm sure that suggestion has nothing to do with your inability to rank up above Full Member. Maybe we should give the ranks with trust (Full, Senior, Hero, Legendary) only for members which persons are well identified through documents or i.e through eyewitnesses - which eyewitnesses are identified well already.
Absolutely not:I'll get right on that, just as soon as hell freezes over.
