Hey everyone,

Just wondering how the TPunk ranking/levels worked. For example you need 300 posts for your first star. And how could someone become TPunk reconized?
Thanks

well you got the ranking part right! Posts equal nice looking stars

as for the recognised part thats all down to our great leader, but i pretty much think its about the contribution that you make to the boards, but to be honest im not too sure myself?!

We only have room for so many mods or recognized, so you pretty much have to kill one of us off.

How many postings to get rid of the humiliating Newbie tag? ALso, where can I see the ranking system? T-Punk rocks by the way, I'm getting all my questions answered here. You guys (and gals) are awesome, thanks for your help thus far (is my nose brown?).

Don't listen to Pin.. he's just nervous you'll take his spot in our ranks

And yea to be recognized just be a helpful member of the community.. if you have a good idea or something you wanna share let us all know.. it may be something none of us had ever thought of before.

I have decided to stop living such a violent lifestyle, and am reconsidering my mean, aggressive behavior and attitude toward others.

So from now on, my status on TravelPunk could potentially be borrowed in exchange for sexual favors. Please form a queue... HERE: X
