The Forum Ranks are visibly attributed to the user in the forum properties and can be viewed within each posting by the member. Forum Ranks levels are attained by the number of posts you have made. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank - you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.
