Forge Hub Rank System
Member Ranks
Each rank has 5 progressions, requiring a set amount of posts to move to the next. For example, a UNSC Trainee Grade 1 requires 25 posts, Grade 2 requires 30 posts and so on, increasing every 5 posts until the next rank is reached at 50 posts.
As you increase in rank, the number of posts required to progress also increases. For example, an Askar requires 40 posts to move between grades, and 200 posts to move to the next rank.
The central blue bar in each rank tracks your overall progress, and increases for each grade you gain. It's a quick way to see which ranks are higher than others if you don't know the order by their names, and ties the ranks together in a consistent way.

Notes
Any unusual user titles you might see are custom, which have either been chosen by the user themselves, or won in a site competition. These aren't official ranks... but they are pretty damn cool.
Please note that an individual's post count does not matter here at Forge Hub and we do
not condone spamming. This list is simply for people who are interested in our user rank system.
