Actually it is NOT!
The activity and "leaders" is based on points earned and not posts made. There are several ways to get points. AFAIK, there is NO INDICATION points are earned by just posting.
I don't reply to all threads only the ones that I feel I can add info to. Also I reply to threads that members put out about their new coins because I know I like it when members reply to mine. And then there is this reply to reply why I reply.

Just a little info on Copyright infractions. I.e. stealing, copying, lifting, downloading or whatever you call it, is a serious issue and can cost the offender considerable $$$. the copyright to a product is usually owned by the Creator, not by the owner of the equipment used to create or by the distributor of the subject.
There are acceptable and recognized exceptions. this is very often for educational purposes.
But re-posting without permission is not one. even when you credit the source.
it is easier and much safer to ask for permission than for forgiveness when it concerns copyright issues.
such permission is usually granted unless the intended use is for commercial purposes.
I posted a pictures that was posted to this forum already, so permission has been given for use on this forum. One other is one that is advertised for sale, so I don't worry about anything I posted.
Also I did request in a post that I was interested in obtaining the coin itself if possible, and to let me know if there is a problem.
I don't fret over this but I will (did) delete the ONE that you worry about, some are coins I own and pictures I took and I give my permission for me to post them.
Thanks for the information.

What else are we supposed to do while waiting for our orders to be processed. It takes like a month and now there is a message saying it could take longer. Anyway, I only look at the first 15 or 20 thread titles when I do come here, and then only open one or two that may spark my interest. I actually have to work for a living But, I love the comedy relief when possible.

Hey Tim,
Relax Tim, Perry is just commenting like I would have, no offence no problems - no one got hurt I tell ye, we all hope this won't go poof, and frankly I see NO reason for it to go poof.
It is a solid thread, and you did good as the OP.
I myself had no clue about the leader or points/counts or whatever that is. Not that it makes a diff to me or ever will.
I'm here a long time, I post when I can, and go MIA for months in past, over the years.
I enjoy the many threads, great topics, and the casual rare (used to be often) banter.
Cheers!

I submitted an order online this past Friday and a message appears saying something like: Due to the amount of orders being processed your order may take longer, yada yada yada. I just figured it has to do with the new coin quest going on. By the way, is there a thread on that topic somewhere?

Thanks, I know Perry wasn't trying to get it kicked. I just didn't want someone to complain on his behalf, I've seen that happen in the 14 years I have here on the board. (I can't believe it took me that long to find out about the point system)
I realized that some just thought it was a +1 event that use to happen a lot in the past. I'm sure glad to see the thread doing so well.
I have seen a lot of nice coins on this thread and I'm going to add another one of my pictures.

I think you meant you hit 1,000 points as that is the level for getting 5 stars. Your next post badge would be at the 1000 post level. But you may reach other types of badges before then.
Click on someone's icon who has a lot of posts, like over 10,000, and you can see various types of badges and at what level they are awarded. They are worth points also but I don't how much.

@Oldhoopster said: "I'm pretty sure stars are based on the number of points."
That's just one consideration and probably the most important. Some folks who know virtually nothing about coins made *** very quickly for reasons I not associated with points. If a member is "good" for the forums the stars will come quicker. There are several advanced professional numismatists posting here for many years who don't have ***** and their knowledge blows away many of us who have five.
@WinLoseWin asked: "By the way, does anyone know what that "Best of..." feature is supposed to do?"
It singles out all sorts of posts that the mods wish to highlight for various reasons that become obvious if you watch what gets posted. One Internet forum I'm on uses "Best of" to feature very informative posts based on scholarly study rather than humor, pretty coins, etc.
I'm sorry you feel that way. The mental and physical problems of members posting are not relevant to this particular discussion but thanks for sharing.
You have asked a very good question and IMHO, I gave you a fairly accurate answer. I quoted your post accurately and added bold to make sure any members here that might be mentally challenged could make the connection between your guess and the opinion I gave to answer it. Don't forget to post a coin image. This one's appropriate:

Nope: You are correct. Badges earn points. Even the anniversary cake badge.
For badges and points see the link at the bottom of my post.
I believe you get one point for every "Agree", one point for every "Like". I am unsure if the "Promote" works the same way. WHEN we had the controversial "Disagree" option you would LOSE one point for every "Disagree" that you received. To the points mentioned above, you then add the cumulative values of the badges listed you have using the like below and you will get close to the total points you have. IT WILL NOT BE EXACT as the points lost for the "Disagrees" that someone had are gone, but were still counted (deducted) from your points total at the time the "Disagree" was in effect.
I'm sure I missed something, but I hope this clears up some of the point system.

That movie was a massive disappointment. Can't believe I paid full price at a theater.
Wow, this is one of the absolute funniest movies that I have ever seen.
You had better not watch the "Ridiculous Six"
It came in with a collection and it's not gold. I thought it was cool, just the same. The same diameter as the $2.5 quarter eagle but half the weight.
Thanks for the heads up!

Being a top-notch and knowledgable coin collector may cause memory loss. I read that in a coin journal, page 114 on December 17th, 1989.

Before that I don't recall anything other than the post count, but maybe there was.

It is up near the "Activity" feature.

For badges and points see the link at the bottom of my post.
I believe you get one point for every "Agree", one point for every "Like". I am unsure if the "Promote" works the same way. WHEN we had the controversial "Disagree" option you would LOSE one point for every "Disagree" that you received. To the points mentioned above, you then add the cumulative values of the badges listed you have using the like below and you will get close to the total points you have. IT WILL NOT BE EXACT as the points lost for the "Disagrees" that someone had are gone, but were still counted (deducted) from your points total at the time the "Disagree" was in effect.
I'm sure I missed something, but I hope this clears up some of the point system.

Probably, because points, badges, emojis, etc. don't matter to "coinheads."
I don’t believe you get points for LOLs.

I believe you are correct for the LOLs. You only get points for the LOL Badges, but not the individual LOLs.
@Downtown1974 I edit it out of my previous post.
Thanks, Donato

Scroll up, time stamp on the last message was about: January 27, 2020 11:20AM in this thread; but may have been something somewhere else.
I saw that, and I got curious and looked it up, I have no explanation, it happened years ago, maybe limited on where they can post. I'm not worried about it...not my job...thanks.

I think it might have been due to comments on the Kobe Bryant thread...
