I was just wondering if it is some kind of rating system? Thanks for any help you can offer me. Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) I recently posted a question about D/T on my stats page, And I got the answer to my question (thaks to all who helped) But now I've got another.....underneath my name on the question and answer page I see I have become A tadpole! I was just wondering if it is some kind of rating system? Thanks for any help you can offer me. As I understand it, when you have made a minimum number of post the Tadpole lable goes away. I do not kow how many. And I may not have this 100% correct. Edited February 7, 2006 by JohnnyVegas Link to comment
+PeachyPA Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I believe the number of posts has to reach ten before Tadpole changes to Member. Link to comment
+Beffums Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I think Peachy PA is right - it's 10 (unless you are a premium member). You are a tadpole in honor of Signal, our mascot (baby frog = tadpole... you get the idea) Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Why can't we all be frogs then after 10 posts? Cricket frog= 10-50 posts Tree-frog= 51- 99 posts Pickerel frog= 100-500 Leopard frog = 501- 1,000 Cuban Tree-frog = 1,001 - 1,999 Bullfrog over 2,000 posts Edited February 7, 2006 by Airmapper Link to comment

+Airmapper Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Can Briansnat (16,464 posts to date) be a Goliath frog (Conraua goliath)? Sure, why not. He already thinks he's a gold member. Link to comment

smacktight Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Still just a Tadpole, must post! Number 6. Seems like a good place to make a simple post and increase my status. The link posted by Prime Suspect says it all. Good Luck and Good Posting! Link to comment

+echo4lima Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think Peachy PA is right - it's 10 (unless you are a premium member). You are a tadpole in honor of Signal, our mascot (baby frog = tadpole... you get the idea) I beg to differ about this, I am a tadpole apparently, a relatively new cacher (found 47, hidden 4 with 2 waiting approval since I started mid-Jan 06) AND a Premium Member, yet my lable is tadpole, so it must be based on posts alone. I don't really care as I am a lurker and reader more so than a poster, I am not by far even close to being able to disperse information but a newbie learning, and like to research my questions before posting. Post counts in my experience mean nothing, it's what and how you share that makes it worth anything!! From a lowly tadpole!! Link to comment

compost93 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The downside of a lurker is the knowledge that you're a tadpole. Mmmmmmmmm.... time to come out of hiding. Link to comment

LOL I suspect that your problem lies with the fact that your profile parameters -- now that you have updated them on the geocaching.com profile page -- need to be updated on the forum. If I remember correctly, the way to do this is to close any browser windows which are open on the forum, and then open a browser window and log into the main geocaching.com site (not the forum). After logging in, click on "Forums" in the left-hand column -- that should force the server to update your profile info in the forum area. This will probably do it! Link to comment

+Jeep_Dog Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I rather miss my tadpole days. Oh, sorrow, the lost innocence of the days when I thought "oh, it is just a newly placed geocache, no need to rush out and log it..." Link to comment
+Markwell Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Again - let's not turn this into a shout-out where people bump up their post numbers to grow green legs. If you want to post 10 times so you're not a tadpole, test your avatar in the Testing thread with the 6500+ other posts. Link to comment
Player2 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 so all you have to do is post 10 ? Link to comment
