Member - User with at least 1 activity completed.
Novice - Novice user with some activities completed. Default Score of 25 or higher.
Intermediate - Intermediate user with quite a few accomplishments. Default score of 50 or higher
Expert - Expert in a category. "Been There and Done That". Default score of 100 or Higher.
How is my score calculated? Your score is calculated by adding the total number of unique activities with any bonus points. Each activity only counts once even if you have several accomplishments under it.
Bonus points are given for certain activities if they are the TOP Activity () as determined by the moderator or Rare () if very few users have done the award. Note Rare awards are only given after a large number of people are in a category (typically 1000).
Both TOP and RARE awards earn 2 bonus points each. To see your score calculated just click on your score on the profile page or your Member Eydid Scorebox in the right corner of most pages.
