Some interesting stats.
19 members have five dark green bars
10 members have the elusive first bright green bar
2 members have two bright greens
4 have three
1 has four
no one five
and bonnie as SIX
An impressive pyramid (roughly) - and the air is getting really thin up there
Yes, there is one.

Way to mess things up, Nigel.
Now, of course, there is no one with four.

That's cheating. My post is almost three weeks old. And CONGRATS.Yes, there is one.Some interesting stats.

In the meantime most of my numbers are off...
bonnie with six (same)
NigelM with five (new)
no one with four (new)
5 with three (new)
1 with two (new)
14 with one (new... a few people moved up, including me)
19 with five dark bars (some people moved up, some new ones added)

The thresholds past the first light green one (that's 500) appear to be a well kept secret. So who knows how many more thousand points Bonnie needs for 7 (12 total)...Congrats Nigel.

Everyone, help Bonnie to move up!

Congrats Nigel.
Not even a remote possibility.

Staring more at the numbers (because, really, what else could I do? try to follow the Elon anti anxiety thread?) I realize an interesting detail.
The group of people with two light green (seven total) or more has stayed the same; just a couple of promotions.
And for each person who moved from five dark to five + one, one person joined the rank of five dark.

All this hard hitting analysis - and no love...
I need to go for plan B... insulting random people in random threads. That always works.

Ha, that was my analysis. Now I'm miffed.
The points gap between green bars seems to get ever wider so that last one took me forever to get; this means that although Bonnie has one bar more than me she is literally hundreds of points ahead (and probably deservedly). Ergo, the rate of growth in the number of people with >7 light green bars slows to the point of (almost) remaining static.
500 for #6.
Given that you recently (within "three weeks") moved up a notch, care to share with the class on how many points are required for the 10th (5+5)?Yes, there is one.
I can contribute that #9 is > 1028.

Yes, I keep switching between just counting the light green ones and counting all of them... 500 got me my 6th bar (the first light green one).

Noooooo! I appreciate the sentiment, but I want to earn these the hard way. Otherwise folks like [name redacted] will say it's just a popularity contest.

Oops
So yes, change up in the stratospheric heights is slower. But what's interesting is that we had 2 of the top 8 move up (25% moved up). In the same time 4 people out of 19 moved from 5 to 6 (first light gree) - 21%. Yet none of the 10-14 people with 6 bars moved from there to the range of 7 or more...
My theory is that up to six bars every 100 points gets you to move up a notch. But after that it gets harder. That's why there's the "wait" at six bars.
And that the two changes up above are just random noise
(I'm a mathematician by training - I love explaining data that doesn't fit my theory as "noise")

And you are claiming that it isn't?Noooooo! I appreciate the sentiment, but I want to earn these the hard way. Otherwise folks like [name redacted] will say it's just a popularity contest.

All the trigger numbers are "round" 50 or 100 so your #9 would have been 1,000. I think it might be depressing for you to learn what #10 required....

I think that is a very selfless act and shows care for your fellow TMC's. And therefore deserves Reputation points ! :tongue:
Sorry, but I'm a bit confused about reputation points, dark green bars, light green bars, and Jr. Member vs Member, etc... Is there somewhere to go and read the explanation?

Thanks
