I went from being a General to lowly rank of Colonel. What did I do wrong? Why was I demoted? Did I offend someone?

Not that it matters, I am just curious about the rank change as I have noted that there are others with fewer Posts at a higher rank than I and vis versa.

Richard can you shed some light on this?

Thanks

What can I say, you lost only one rank. I lost three! Must have commited a really serious offence.

I think you can blame this whole demotion thing on me.

I used to be a "National Security Advisor", with 3000+ Posts, and now I'm down to a lowly General.

Are there specific people who have General rank or above, but with fewer Posts than you?

And, like Q said, I went from Lt. Colonel down to 1st Lieutenant - a 3-rank demotion! I figured it was because I stopped posting for a few weeks because my job was taking too much time...

(edited to fix a typo)

I have been cruising this site for awhile and I wasn't a registerd member for the longest time. Anyway I was just wondering how you got promoted in the first place. Is it through Posts or ratinfgs from other members? Are the Posts based on frequency per day/week/month or just a total. I just never asked because it didn't matter to me I just liked surfing this site. Any light shed on the subject would be nice.

Ranks are based on number of Posts.

Funny thing is that I am a Corporal here, a real life Staff Sergeant in the USMC, and in less than a week, a 2nd Lieutenant in the USMC...

Richard:

Is the rank/# of Posts ratio declassified for public consumption?
