I was 極乙女 rank and when i wake up its changed to 上級乙女? I read new rules but still don't get what i did wrong? I talk almost every day, sometimes download. My actions still same as always. Can it be that i edit messages ? but my english bad so its happens. Also its posiible back in some time 極乙女? I just want to know what caused this.

I think Checkmate may be jiggering with the calculations a bit because some people have been abusing it. Please wait for his response.

Unfortunately if people abuse the system, it needs to be adjusted. People spamming and spam creating threads likely has been the reason.

I've implemented three updates to the Rank Maker System.

First, it will impose severe penalties (- - -) for low-quality threads. A series of low-quality threads will result in an instant removal from the Otome Group most of the time. (- - - -)

Second, warnings from staff will carry significant penalties. The first warning will remain active for 30 days and will freeze your rank. The second warning will lead to immediate removal from the Otome Group and will not go away for 180 days. Any attempt at cloning will result in a final warning for ban evasion, with the next warning will result in a permanent ban, meaning all future registrations will be rejected or banned. This means that we no longer want you in ASF.

Third, I have normalized the thresholds within the overall ranking system, as it was, in some instances, too easy to attain the highest rank.

As a result:
135 members were removed from Otome Group for spamming.
43 members were re-ranked from 上級乙女
3 members were re-ranked from 極乙女.

Thank you for the reply. So i was 1 or 3 person who were re ranked 極乙女 to 上級乙女 . Because some ppl abuse the system change were made. Sad a bit but its ok. I hope someday i will gain back 極乙女 Still my rank not very low and have access to otome.

oh also i want make sure. If i edit comments its not negative?

The first point was unrelated to the third; it was merely a coincidence. Editing your comments does not impede your progress.

I want to clarify that previously, low-quality posts and threads were graded neutrally and did not count against you. However, many low-quality posts are considered negative and classified as farming, there's no update to this.

The new update address one extra penalty point: low-quality threads will be negative, and a burst of negative threads will have serious consequences like many low quality posts. This change does not affect how posts were ranked before above and is only applicable to threads.

I could argue that the three highest-ranking members were simply unlucky, given that we had around 50 極乙女. You were close to the cutoff, but the changes are minimal. With a slight push, you can regain your rank.

We often run maintenance job after mid-night Japan Time. Sometimes it is to refresh the ranking system to make sure it grades everyone correctly. Some job are low priority and didn't need a full forum shutdown, this is one of such task.

Rest assured your rank is tied to your contributions and useful posts or threads on the community. It won't go away that easily unless you do this upon yourself.

The thing about rank is that it only grade your contributions, since your contribution stays on the community, your rank will mostly retained.

Um, may I ask, in the future, if we don't do anything, will the rank be removed even though the contributions are still there?

 

[Checkmate]

if we don't do anything, will the rank be removed

If you abandon your account on ASF, your rank will be removed. When you return, you will need to interact again for the RMS to review your account. While this process won't be as difficult as starting anew, it is essential to ensure that you haven't sold your account or that your account hasn't been hacked through credential surfing.

This information is clearly outlined in the Account Ranking Guide.
