So what just happened? - I've been demoted!
Last time I noticed, I was a Castellan and have been for months.
Then suddenly, I'm a Chancellery Guard again. I hate this job, the life-expectancy is low and the uniform has no style! So what happened to my Castellan's robes and cap?
EDIT: I am actually interested in what's changed so glutamodo are you the right person to ask, I take it this is Admin shifting of the rank boundaries again? Has 'High Council' disappeared as a rank or is there just no-one qualifing for it atm?
It's all just a bit of fun but it's our bit of fun so is there a post I've missed which lays out the current ranks (I know post counts/post counts for a rank are kept quiet these days for reasons previously established, fine with that.)
Thank you.
Internal Gallifreyan politics in action? Did you step on the Chancellor's robes? Machavellian scheming from a bloke with a goatee or a woman with a Mary Poppins fixation? Wibbly wobbly Timey Wimey stuff? 😉😁

I'd ask where the Commander has gotten in the meantime. *taps nose* I'd give the mods a PM, number13. I had no idea I was a Cardinal beneath this ghostly visage until a reshuffling last July. Didn't mind either way, but I queried the mods about the change and they sorted it right out.

They're stupid titles anyway. Not everyone wants Time Lord themed titles; people might be on the forum for the Dark Shadows range or Dorian Gray, etc. why give everyone arbitrary titles that mean nothing and there's no transparency how they're achieved? Maybe if they made a few changes to the rankings...

Yes I did have my suspicions - The Time War (Vols 1-3, on CD) arrives at the House of Thirteen and on the same day I find I'm turned back into a footsoldier... Ollistra's devious work if you ask me, they must be getting desperate at the front... Next thing you know it'll be a Battle TARDIS materialising in the kitchen, they'll shove me in and it's Goodbye Arcadia!

I'm going to chalk it up to a forum glitch. No changes have been made recently. There's still a "High Council" rank, but you're right that no one seems to have that rank right now. There are several in higher ranks, though. (There are two ranks above "High Council".)

For who else could be responsible for the deposition of the High Council but that dastardly devil of debonair deceit...

That would be fun! However, they'd still be arbitrary titles that don't mean much... My point is we are all equal here and not everyone comes to this forum for Doctor Who... so 'rankings' and stars (especially when people don't know how they are achieved) are a waste of time. I'm not going to war over it, it's just an observation.

I had actually been wondering about how the colouring of the stars worked. I thought originally it was to do with number of likes - every so many likes equated to one yellow star, then when you got so many yellow stars you moved to a blue star etc, but then when I tried to correlate the number of likes with the stars that theory didn't seem to work. Maybe I am really thick and just missing something obvious?
Not that I am really that bothered about the stars themselves, but not being able to work out the logic bugs me.

Thanks for the info Ela - so no human agency was involved... then my worst fears are confirmed and maybe it is a side-effect of the Time War. Next stop the Moon of Tenacity (gulp!)

I'm completely confused by all the rankings, stars & names.

I thought you'd like those ranks better and I must agree the 'system' lost any kind of internal logic the day that Chancellery Guard 'outranked' Doctor. Nothing outranks the Doctor.
Never mind, I post for fun and not to clock up rankings so all is well. (But I still hate this stupid red outfit and the helmet is a pain to wear and mutter mutter mutter... )

They're connected to the (now invisible but still tallied) count of your posts, not likes.
And same here btw, it's the contacts with all the nice voices in our Matrix which makes posting worthwhile not the stars etc. BUT any system of which I can't understand the logic really bugs me too!

Personally I'm not that fussed about my ranking, but I do find it amusing to read that The Brigadier is now a Time Lord. 😁

I assumed they were to do with likes, not post tallies. My mistake.
Although I can still see the tallies. Can anyone else?

All hail Lord President Brig!

Visible tallies of posts? Another glitch! (No I can't see them with any browser I've used 'recently' - IE, Chrome, Firefox - on Windows Desktop.)

Spooky. For reasons I can't get into, that should be impossible. Are the tallies just for Profiles or can you see them across the forum under each post?

Are you using a desktop computer or a mobile device? We've noticed there are a few discrepencies between the two versions of the site in the past.
