I'm getting confused!

[tjbmoreno]

There are starting to be too many titles . . . poster, contributor, member.  What's the difference?

I agree Terri - I just got 'upgraded' to new contributor from a 'Senior Member' - but now require some kind of password. Keep it simple - simple works.

Kind regards

I agree there are too many titles.

[tjbmoreno]

New Contributor? What’s that? You’ve been contributing since day one!

[AmberLee]

@tjbmoreno, @RichardG and I are both "new"... whom, whooooom...

[SandraA]

I'll bet it's because of the new admin group.   Richard and Amber are new contributors there.

[AmberLee]

Aren't we all though? Including you and @tjbmoreno.

[RichardG]

Hi Sandra,
I would have put you in that same category too, like @AmberLee and @tjbmoreno.

Kind regards

[tjbmoreno]

Maybe one of the Community Admins, @ClayT or @MitchellW could shed some light on it for us?

[MitchellW]

Thanks for asking, @tjbmoreno!

Currently we have 4 main ranks with multiple titles. These are default ranks that we are planning to reevaluate thanks to the feedback you and your fellow Community members have provided. 

The ranks are Visitor, Poster, Member, and Contributor with the Visitor ranks being the newbies and the Contributors being our Community leaders. The titles such as New or Senior show the progression through the ranks. A New Contributor is the first in the series of leader ranks. 

We appreciate your feedback on the ranking system and are open to your thoughts on how it can improve. We will take these insights into consideration later when we rethink the rank names.
