and JJB* seems to have been demoted to a first officer.
A quick glance suggests some others appear unaffected.

We have nearly all been affected...

I think the BOT User001 has got something to do with this... He went up 400 points in one night...

Not that this changes anything on the quality of the forum anyway....

I willingly accept my demotion and consider it well earned.

Also, LOOK AT ME!  I'M THE CAPTAIN NOW!

I can't seem to find what has happen to Dirty Bird posts either...

Oh, and I'm no longer allow posting in the Mavic section only....

It can only get better from here...

Have they actually removed points from us ?

Or have they upped thresholds ....... SILENTLY ?
The notification that drew my attention says I need x points to become a first officer.
Is there any way we can check our points history ?

Nope, to me you appear as a 2nd officer. lol

It seems that they added a zero to the points required...

I did mention this few days back that there was something funny going on with the points...

How is moving the goalpost for everyone a way to fight spam? How about admins just do their job? Have an approval period for new accounts when they post. That seems like a better way to cut down on spam post. Or how about taking an account's flight distance/product inventory into account for leveling up? They could even ban accounts for just copy/pasting ChatGPT style comments. That'd flag most admin comments on here which is a lot of times just useless spam anyways.

Whilst i agree with some of you points, with regards to mileage, some of us don't like uploading data to the internet and some people buy second hand drones because they think new drones are far too expensive.
Second hand drones do not, in general, show up though the two Phantoms on my account are second hand.  
Thankfully my other second hand drones do not appear.

Buy the Avatar2 Fly More Combo and we'll all regain Captain status...LOLLLLL

yes, i have noticed this too...wow, a demotion!
But who cares about ranks on here....
As if total number of posts equals knowlegde  ;-)

@JJB - agreed.  Pretty sure my points, knowledge, status, are all just variables in the game of life.    : )
For those that it matters - I get it.  It's nice to have a system and understand it.  
For those that just post here to stay connected to the comings and goings of DJI and drones, I don't see a downside to being called a second-officer.  I have been called worse. : )

Yes, I was quoting the Tom Hanks movie where the boat captain got hijacked.  : )

I was captain!

I'm not saying that everything should be based on mileage/products. The amount of times someone post useless comments shouldn't be the only way to judge a person's knowledge about drones. I'm speaking of certain people who may or may not have the account name resembling a single wide trailer.

As far as products on our accounts go, mine has always had a Ronin-MX, Phantom 4 and Inspire listed. I have flown the last 2 for work but have never owned either. I have never even seen a Ronin-MX in my life so I have no clue how those even got put on my account.

Agree but what is the meaning of "account name resembling a single wide trailer. " ?

Hey Guys,

    I am now level 4, I used to be a captain, not sure what happened, this must have happen within a week or two. Not sure what is going on. Hope I am allowed to continue posting on the forum.

Best Regards, Mike.

It's not you I'm talking about. It's a frequent person here on these forums who generally has nothing of value to add in threads but loves to put in their 2 cents anyways. Think about it for a second and once you see their handle, it'll be very clear.

You are speaking of yourself?

Crap, I think he is on to me.

I wasn't thinking that you were talking about me.
I do not undertsand the expression "account name resembling a single wide trailer. " that you used in post 24. I was asking for an explanation of the expression and still am asking.

I believe yes. Google is helping me a lot to understand many things on this forum.

I am a bit curious as to why DJI demoted people? Not that rank really matters.
Might it have been better to create additional ranks rather than demote people ?
If you which to use Air associated ranks then Squadron Leader, Wing Commander, Group Captain, Air Commodore etc. come to mind or, where pilots are 'army' or 'navy',equiavalent army /navy ranks.
I don't know what is above capt in civvi st.

My badge is something wild now..

This is how DJI thanks you for investing a lot of money in their product.

I'll enlarge it for you so you can take full advantage of it

So where does a "Core User" fall in this new worthless ranking system? It isn't even listed as being one. They are obviously now taking things into account besides points when giving you one of these stickers. Honestly, a core user sounds very low on the totem pole. Most people on this site would be considered a core user.

Well, looks like they've changed something else on the forum - I couldn't reply to you.

Only when we thought it couldn't get ant worse...

Dear Dolly, today DJI update my very useful badge to a nice black and white blob... I like it and I feel wonderful about myself now... I now got an appointment with the hairdresser, and after I will have coffee at Tiffany with Fluffy my gorgeous Chihuahua... XOXO

Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine is still going strong and innocent kids are dying....

End of Rant...

So now the forum's one and only core user is being shadow banned and silenced? I read your comment several times and have no clue what could of been flagged as bad. Maybe because you used complained and DJI in the same sentence.
You know they can't be having their golden boy bashing the brand like that.

Man rough crowd today.  Demotions will do that!
