I’m level 3. I don’t think it has anything to do with with exam you are writing.

No, I’m sure it is to do with points etc… When do you go to level 3?

Not sure, so far it only seems like we have it plus @DollarsToDonuts. When there is a larger sample set we can infer what the levels define.
Since they are pushing it out slowly, it is probably just faster to wait for @christine to weight in on this.

We’re currently testing user ranks (they’re based on the number of points you have in total)… Hang on a sec – we’ll tinker a bit more and get back to you guys 😀

Thought it would be something like that…assume the stars link in to it to? Although I now have 3 stars and still level 2, so probably needs some more tinkering 😉

We’re thinking of how to rename the levels. Clearly don’t want them to be named ‘levels’ too since there will be confusion, plus they’re boring. Any ideas?

BTW, how can I have 69 posts (70 now) and be a Silver when @mattjuniper is Gold with 55 posts??

Not that I begrudge you @mattjuniper 😀

Because I have 10 badges to your 6? It’s all about the badges my friend 😉

Plus my 51 points is just for this week…I have 116 overall.

I love this. We are dignified professional fighting over points on a CFA related forum. Challenge accepted. It tickles the child in me.

We’re just naturally competitive. Like in my firm. As long as you call it a competition, anything goes. even random things like baking competitions get super serious!

Currently @MattJuniper is my stiffest competition, there is a 4 point differential. He is gonna give me a headache for the rest of the week 😛
I can only image the controlled chaos just before exams. We will be stressed and competitive.

@xyz I know that you already have a rank system in place but I like to propose a different one. Something like associate, analyst, assistant portfolio manager, portfolio manager, c-suite. It also allows for more ranks! And it relates right back to CFA.

@Diya that was exactly what I thought to do, but we decided against it in the end because there might be confusion over actual job titles – newcomers might wonder why they’re being called ‘Associate’ etc when they first join the forum.

Having said that your comment has reignited the debate again so we might revise it. We’re still trialling and erroring 😀

FYI other lists that we have discussed:
Animals in increasing size and badassness: e.g. starting from Cat to Tiger to Elephant
Stages in your career: Graduate, working your way to CEO
Star Wars ranks: Padawan to Yoda
Among others…

We did throw around “Warren Buffet” to be honest. You’ll see when someone reaches that rank! 😀

@Zee Starwars also came to mind but I typed out this post when I was half asleep and already in bed. I believe this is the downside to a smartphone, I am always connected!

@diya tell me about it. I fall asleep with my phone on my face, and it got 100x worse when I got a tablet.
