A user's Maple Rank is a way to see how active they are on MaplePrimes. There are four rankings as seen in this table. New users have no Maple rank. You receive points for posting various items on MaplePrimes such as blog entries, forum posts and comments. The more points you have, the higher your Maple rank. This system is similar to the feedback system on eBay, however instead of the points being assigned by users, points come from using the site.
The table below shows the number of points that each user receives for each type of posting.
| Post type | Points per post |
|---|---|
| blog | 3 |
| book | 5 |
| forum | 1 |
| comment | 1 |
The points required to reach each Maple rank are shown below
| Maple Rank | Points required |
|---|---|
![]() | 400 |
![]() | 200 |
![]() | 80 |
![]() | 10 |

Ranking icons
Seems like a good idea. Just 2 suggestions.
The icons for 200 points and for 10 points look very similar. I think, a green color for 10 points would be more appropriate.
The shapes also could be different - for black and white printing.
Off-by-one?
This post itself will muck things up, but apparently the 'gold' Maple Rank is off-by-one? I got my 'silver' ranking when I reached 80 points, but now I have 200 and still silver. Of course, this post will give me 201, so that will likely change things.
Thanks
I just looked at the code, and for just the gold level I had > instead of >=. This has been fixed, so the off-by-one problem should not occur again.
