ranking

What would cause a member to be stripped of their ranking if they hadn't done anything?

If they have done nothing "wrong," then their ranking would not be stripped.

That above is how you get a rank (according to that article), so I suppose you could lose one for doing the opposite.

Plagiarism is an express ticket to being stripped. Generally breaking the terms of agreement and public guidelines are the only way to be stripped,gagged, etc.

Perhaps someone with the ability to rank felt that the ranking you held was inaccurate based on your postings.

I feel terrible about this. I just don't understand what I did.

You don't have to beat yourself up..it could possibly be what Lark said..you could of been ranked lower as a result of posting. Just learn and help people on areas you feel comfortable with.

Perhaps, and this is just a shot into the dark, just contribute more and see whether or not you regain your lost, judged by people, rank you want back. I think, honestly if you're not spouting off inaccuracies in information or things within the land of 'impossibilities' you're fine. I wouldn't worry about what someoneelse labels you as especially if you're not deserving of it.

I worked hard for it and I thought that I was giving good information and being very helpful.

Unfortunately we do not have the authority to choose what we feel is deserving of ourselves. Though, keep you head up and keep on helping. Do not let another's opinion discourage you from legitimately helping.

I try the best that I can to provide valid information, but I don't have a rank yet. You may be stripped if you speak ; fluff, get into arguments, or if a higher ranked person decides you don't have a proper rank, or you may not deserve it.

Just don't worry about it, keep showing your knowledge and not try to care if you have ranking or not. It it a title, and doesn't make you unworthy.

I honestly think that you should help just because you want too, heck I wish I hsd a rank but it gives me something to work for. When I get one, it too will make the work pay off. Good luck!!
