How to Get Achievements and Rank Up

[bibabyboy263]

Hi All

I understand that one can get achievements and rank up on this website.

I am just wondering if anyone has posted a guide to getting the various achievements and ranks on here?

If this has already been done, please post the link to that thread, otherwise can someone please explain what all the different achievements and ranks are and how does one get them?

@Little Christine

I was just wondering, that is all.

I got a notification that I ranked up and thought, this is interesting, how does this ranking thing work. Searched around the forums using key words like Rank and Achievements but couldn't find the answer I was looking for, as such I posted a question. I was just naturally curious.

@square_duck

Thanks for the information.

Also wondering if there is a list of ranks and achievements and there corresponding requirements, such as post this many time equal x rank?

@bibabyboy263

there are seven ranks. You start out as a newborn when you are a new member.  As you keep posting, and people give you “reactions“ such as a heart, or others available, the more people that give you likes, based on whether they like your post or not, this will increase your reputation. Your reputation can go from zero to infinity, and sometimes, I’ve seen reputation be in the negative. What I do is I Post information that I think would be helpful to anyone, or anything that I think is interesting that people would be interested in. I figure, that if people are liking my posts, then they like what they are seeing, what I am writing, and if I’m doing quality posts, that tells me that I am doing OK.

As my friend DAVID used to say: “you should always go for a quality over quantity when posting on a form.”  I have been inform users since 1996, and I take that information to heart whenever I try to post something. There are sometimes when people may not like your post, or they might not give you the like, And this is up to the person who is reading the post. What I would suggest is that you try to post things that you like, that you think someone else would like, or you give them information that they may be able to use.  I have been the kind of guy that always likes to help people, and I guess that is instilled in me because everyone that was in my family what is the type of person that likes to help people and give back to the community that supports them. I guess that comes from the fact that my family have all served in the military, at some point of their lives, and some service, or they end up doing community service to help those that are in need. I run a thrift store in the Trinity United Methodist Church in MONTPELIER Vermont USA. This is the type of service that I love to do, because I get to help people that are less fortunate than I am, and I get to see their reaction when I’m able to give them something that they need, or some thing that they can use. I’ve always been taught that it is not necessary to always give money to help someone: the important thing is to try to make someone happy the best you can, and provide them with the best type of assistance possible. I have been on the Internet since 1993, and have been on chat systems like IRC II, Since early 93, and ever since then I have always been on the Internet, assisting those who need help, and getting help with computer problems questions and support for my own issues. I also help people with computer issues as well, so this is right up my alley. Now, I am assisting those in this community with their questions problems or concerns, and trying to help people understand that wearing diapers using diapers leaking diapers or any other baby equipment is not a problem, and that there is nothing to be ashamed of. I guess people think of me as a “guru“ because I have been disabled all my life, and my brother used to wear diapers all through his period when you are dealing with people that are disabled, you understand that they may have to use them, so it is not uncommon. Because I have cerebral palsy I have to use them now, because I sometimes cannot get to the bathroom fast enough, or I have accidents. Using diapers ends up taking away one of the stressors in my life, and believe me because of COVID-19 and other things, there have been a lot of stressors in my life and other lives. I am glad that I am able to help those here on DD, and it is my pleasure to do so.

@square_duck @Little Christine Are correct. Your rank, and your reputation, are things that you earn as you continue to interact with the community, and you post information, and people are liking it, and responding to you. When you use the @ and then add the users name, that will put a notification in your notification panel, so that you know when someone has responded to you or something that someone else has posted that you are involved in. Reputation can be manipulated if you are liking your own posts as well as everyone else’s, but if you are the type of person who is trying to be helpful, gives good advice, and tries to help people as much as they can, while trying to help keep the community strong, then people that read your postings will respect you because they believe you are knowledgeable about what you say, based on your experiences, or your knowledge. I know for example, that there have been people that thanked me for my advice, or for my perspective on things, and I like the fact that there are so many of us that have differing experiences and differing opinions, because it gives you perspective as to each person here on DD. Each one of us is here because we have one thing in common:  DIAPERS:  it does not matter how we got here, or why we are here, but we are here because we share that one thing in common. Some of us are incontinent, some of us are adult babies, some of us are Furrys, or whatever we identify as, and each one of us has their reason for being here.  
 

what I would do is start by reading posts that are already here. If you like them, and you want to like them, just hit the heart at the bottom of the post. There are other reactions that can be used as well. As you like other peoples posts, and you post information online, other people will read your post, and they might like it as well. If someone likes your post enough, your reputation goes up.  
 

The highest rank here is “diaper royalty“ this would be obtained at about 600 posts. Once you hit level seven, you cannot go any higher that way. However, your reputation can go up higher than that. All I would suggest is that you continue to post, and you read other posts and like them should you choose to, and you should see your post counts and your reputation go up. I would not worry about it because as you start interacting and getting to know people, people like your posts, people will follow you, and once you have a bunch of followers, then when you post, your followers will get a notification up in your notification panel, that someone has posted. I check it every day, and that’s how I determine what I respond to first. If I find a post that I want to respond to, I either respond to it in a blank window, using the @ followed by the users name, and that user will then know that they have been “mentioned“ and therefore they will be able to follow it.  If someone reacts to your post you will see that in the notification panel as well.  
 

my advice is just try to be the best member you can be, and read it and respond to posts at your leisure. If you need help from anyone, don’t be afraid to post that you need help, and one of us will be able to help you. There is also the chat system, and I am sure there will be individuals who will be able to help you if you need it. likes and reputation points will come, so just feel free to relax and let your hair down, and start interacting – we don’t bite!

Good Luck!

Brian

<SNAP!>

to answer your question, this site is like most any place else. It's not some kind if "game" gathering points by doing ' xyz' but all the 'tags' you see on others profiles etc, are from participation. Posting in forums mostly, and engaging in conversations, both in the forums and chat. There are things you get if you contribute financially towards the sites upkeep, donations etc. And that is basically it, all based solely on participation. But don't come here strickly for any "rewards" or "merits", being here, contributing and partcipating are their own rewards. Have fun, hang out learn something or share something you have learned....

Hope this helps!

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

It seems to me that igf you want to know how to do something, you are intending to use that knowledge specifically This suggiests gaming the system

I have noticed that many high-ranking users that I have seen do 3/4 of their work in the story/art section with very little general forum contribution, where they seem to exchange many "likes" bak and forth.j This makes the ranking system subject to niche effects

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

I really do not think that much of it. My rating is 745. It SHOULD be 1,745; 350 for being an adorable little girl and 650 for being a blonde: Right?!

 I totally concur You're a great contributor And I wish I had the ability to write a story  But I'm dyslexic And communicating it's not my strong suit

Thank you

For a while on this forum, one could do the following :-

• vote oneself up
• vote another down
• vote another up

This created a total muck-up with the voting system. Now, it is more correct where one can be voted up by another, and can't be voted down. This has now created a set of people that vote up their freinds. In the US, there is a minimum of 10% service tip given when someone gives a person food / drink... however, that type of thanks / respect is being forgot by a lot of people here. In fact, the opposite occurs - and instead of downvoting the person, these shallow people tend to 

So to answer your question directly, either make a good number of freinds that will artificially inflate your reputation points OR just forget about the rating value - after all, similar to what @Little BabyDoll Christine has stated, in the great scheme of things, it really does not matter - unless you are trying to 'game' the system - and then again, to what gain?

@Little BabyDoll Christine, either I agree with your post that you should have 1,700+ points, or I agree with your post "Why is that important? If you are fishing for commpliments, what does that say about you?" - your choice?

[Little BabyDoll Christine]

It is like I said; I really do not pay attention to the "reputation", but then, if you look at my avatar and notice the color of my hair, what do you expect? There are only two kinds of little girls; blondes and those who wish they were

As to whether the large voting blocs are "artificial" I do not know for sure. I nite that it is mostly on the Story and Art forum. They are united by being both creative and dynamic and they act as a group. So, they will respond to each other's works. Now, I'm a "web 2.0" gu...erm girl. I goin for interactivity and "extrusion [of LG into the external world]". What suprises me is that is no longer as popular is it once was. 20 years ago, RUFFLES & RIBBONS GIRLS' HOME was hot, being in the top 40% as rated on both DPF and ByteMIne and before Wetville broke down over politics. it was the "reference nursery". Now my "extrusionary" material (stationary, calling cards, etc), RUBBER PANTIES'R'US and the "BabyDoll" personal care items, get no response at all. That was not the case 12 years ago, when I brought up the Magic Picture Frame and tiaras. You would think that Little Girls' would find a baby scented bubble bath 2di4. I also left links here to webhosting and a suite of apps to photo editors, drawing apps (FairyWrite) and page production apps as well as page decoration material. No takers that I know of. Also, look how dead the rubber panty club is: Over 60 members and about 1 post a week; and how many of those are mine (might have been better calling it the "Little Christine" club)? My motto has been 'DOING IS LIVING and LIVING IS DOING". I also do not see other interactive/playroom type web entities here I was going to put up a RUFFLES & RIBBONS GIRLS' HOME girls' club, but that would have been a waste. I did some posts in the LB forum pointing to the great adventure TV shows that were around in the '50's and got next to nothing for feedback. I could arrange an LB equivalent to LITTLE CHRISTINE'S DOLLHOUSE, but all I would probably get is some criticism from BabyJune for "going over to the Dark Side". I brought over the "Hug Your Dolly" Day and all that got was 3 participants, and  at that, nothing would be said if I did not bring it up on the specified day. Or how about the time, inspired by GirlTAlk To., I said we should list ABDL-friendly resorts in the world and was told "Let Fetlife do it": How does the #1 ABDL  site let itself be trumped by a BDSM site with any credibility?. I am not trying to polish my tiara here; it is shiny and sparkly enough, what I am getting at is the lack of interactivity and play there is. And look howmany accounts we have registered and what a miniscule level of participation there is. We have a wonderful meeting place, fantastic idea store, and gorgeous playground here and we are letting it go to waste

I would suspect that the LG side of ABDL has gone more into private parties etc rather than online / private media as it was in yesteryear. In relation to certain sites, their content is now more generic as chosen by the odd few bullies (normally refered to as administrators etc). Even here, some current and a few previous admins have made decisions based on self commercial interest and/or bias / religious belief instead of being totally open. In this modern world, it is common for websites to err on the side of vanilla content due to fear of being shut down by some self serving political idea and/or what used to be referred to as political correctness. Today, I personally believe that our freedoms and independence, due to the widespread usage of the internet by more idiots, are being more curtailed than what existed in yesteryear. You, with your own experience are more able to compare how open and accepting people are today as compared to 30-50 years ago. Yes, 30-50 years ago, most stuff occured but was kept within certain magazines etc. Today, there are more online versions of the same stuff, but the online versions are more tame and is foolishly attempting to be more vanilla to be accepted by the same group of biased people who aren't capable of understanding / brain washed by organised religion etc.

In simple terms, the more of the general public that is aware of a certain fetish, the more people that will try and state that person is sick / mentally disturbed / wrong / going to hell etc.... which equates the more discrimination and removal of free choice - as if their opinion is worth more than yours / mine.
