Absolutely NO buddha!

Time should not be counted for several reasons. One, you could have someone that makes a post every six months. They shouldn't get credit for that time. Another, aren't we all here to get our degrees faster?

Maybe to make it fun you could let people "CLEP" to higher levels by having a test and asking obscure questions about previous posts. This would force them to use the search function and although the question could be obscure they would stumble across useful information. Each level could be more obscure and harder to find. They could always go the traditional "4 year" route and just get credit for the posts they make.

Ok, I have an idea....

So what if people's rank was given one letter at a time as part of a big fat cool word- like:

CLEP CHAMPION

So, your first rank is simply "C"
Your next rank makes you "CL"
next you would be "CLE"
and so it goes...

C
CL
CLE
CLEP
CLEP C
CLEP CH
CLEP CHA
CLEP CHAM
CLEP CHAMP
CLEP CHAMPI
CLEP CHAMPIO
CLEP CHAMPION

CLEP CHAMPION is only an idea, I realize it excludes other tests.... it was just something simple that came to mind. It makes the ranking very intuitive and obvious- no need for a list.
