User Rankings: Join the Jungle Jam
The Jungle Jam user-rankings are achieved by combining three virtues:
Longevity - Stick around, keep jamming, and you're in the hunt
Quantity - Contribute often and ascend the ranks
Quality - Write enlightened, Pulitzer-caliber posts and rule the boards!
The ranking names and related insignia are presented in Table 1:
