First Diamond Trusted Reviewer!

[Surge5]

I'm not sure if I want the Diamond TR requirements to change. It's not any of the current Diamond TR's fault that the dynamic has changed over the years.

Correct me if I'm wrong @timg, but I believe it used to be 75 uniques for gold and 200 for diamond instead of the current 90 and 250.

Things have changed, and I'm not saying they should change back, but wanted to add that there is precedent for change...

I did change it at some point early on as people were hitting the levels a little too easily but I don't recall what the old numbers were. There were a lot of threads back then where people would vote trade and stuff as well, so hence the unique part of the formula was put into place and also likely one of the reasons for bumping up the numbers a bit.

I believe @jaymon1 leveled up to Diamond quite recently? Congrats!

Congrats, updated in the TR stats page (and willing to do so when I hear of every diamond!)

Hopefully Greens and Dev can simply make the spreadsheet autogenerated and a feature of the site?

 

[Surge5]

Is that a page on here or just that spreadsheet still?

 

[sisyphus]

Still a spreadsheet I learned to link in my signature when I inherited it from the previous caretaker of the sheet. Once upon a time, I was anxious to see how we all stacked up, and asked if I could help keep it up to date. It's a bit labor intensive from the user end, so I keep wishing Dev could apply a stroke of tech magic and bring it out as a feature on the new site. If every user could view and sort, but not edit, a table with all the elements we do here, especially if it auto-updated continuously!

(actually, I'd renew my premium membership if this was a benefit for that!)

He surged in helpful votes by about 100 since I brought it up on the thread about a month ago after his newest review, he had about 60 more to go the last time I looked. He only needed a few Unique's at the time, and they were put over the top within a day. I wonder if he even knows, he hasn't been on the site since last month.

I'd love to learn how to do that link myself. And I echo your sentiment on renewing membership for that!

Does that potentially disprove our theory about Zman44 having not logged in since the vote thresholds were passed and therefore not updating to Diamond? You noted jaymon was 60 short on 8/23, and he last logged in on 8/25. Unfortunately it's also possible he passed 1,000 before he logged off on the 25th, too...

I viewed Zman44 profile, and my first thought was, all he has to do is log in, and he's Diamond. But I remember bagging a course

I viewed Zman44 profile he has 1006 votes, and my first thought was, all he has to do is log in, and he's Diamond. But I remember bagging a course a few years ago, and I always go back and read previous reviews. There was a review I found helpful, I refreshed the page, and the member went from Bronze to Silver, this member had not been online for about 5 years. Since Zman44 is not Diamond having qualified, maybe the update changed the automatic upgrade without logging on? I went from Silver to Gold while logged in, saw myself silver, changed pages, and I was Gold.

If it's anything like how it used to work, it was a function that did a real-time check of all the numbers and displayed the badge image based on that. So you didn't have to login/logout to go from silver -> gold, etc. I'm guessing it probably works the same way but I have no way to tell.
