So this morning I saw @Professor as Scientist, and I said : "I need to get a higher ranks than his", and I stumbled upon my account just to see that I got Demoted somehow, and I got really mad, any idea how this happened?
Any moderator can close open public threads and open closed public threads, only Head Moderator or Admins can delete threads or reinstate deleted threads.
I don't mind personally about this thread being closed or not, but I would suggest to move it in SFS discussion. Determining how ranks are gained is not really a challenge
