So no rice badge but where is my title?

I see people with the following in the forums the informations is an actual person:

Name
Advanced Cruncher
Joined: Sep 6, 2007
Posts: 59

I have been doing this since 2005 so what makes a person an advanced cruncher? Is it computing power or time served? Is there a title of senior cruncher or a title for doing this for a long time? Just curious what makes someone an advanced cruncher!

Re: So no rice badge but where is my title?

Hi Dennis,

It's also covered FAQ & in the Q2-08 Newsletter, which I'd expect for a 3 year old member to have read wink

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/newsletter/08Q2/viewTechTips.do

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=13620

There is no association between badges, cpu time / results contributed and forum titles.

Does anybody actually read the Help (Button Right Top), Start Here FAQ forum and Newsletters ? Please do!

Thanks

Peace, guys.

I believe Sekerob was joking. Sometimes nuances get lost in translation. World Community Grid is genuinely international, and sometimes that means fun with language and mistranslations.

Hi Cyberia,

Was trying to kid with a wink. Many new arrive to the fora, so I just added the sources of information for those in another winkles ;D and had as noted a "lost in translation" moment. blushing

BTW, just realized you've been a 6 month longer member than I am.... now how I dare take a mickey out a senior member (fat wink).

Meanest Me (from the ol' continent).
