Title: Puzzler Classification and related question
Post by Aryabhatta on Jun 7^th, 2004, 7:31pm

I am sorry if this has been asked before..

How does one graduate from a newbie?
(I see some are senior riddlers, some are uber puzzlers etc)

My guess is this is determined from the number of posts I have made. If that is the case, I have one question. How can I consolidate the posts I have made under different names? Both before and after I joined. (I have posted under the names Aryabhatta and yadayada). Do I have to manually edit the posts? Is there an easier way?

Thanks for helping this newbie :D

Hi Aryabhatta,

Yes, you are right. The "rank" isa deteremined by the number of posts, with the thresholds being 50, 150, 300, 600. You can read about it (and some history of it here (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=riddles_suggestions;action=display;num=1031563459;start=).

As for consolidating posts -- no, you cannot do it. You can only edit your own posts, so can neither change your "other self"'s posts to your own, nor wise-versa. Not even out moderators can do that trick...

I think William may be able to do it -- manually, and labor-heavy. But why would you want to? The rank doesn't really matter for anything here!
