Ranking

Last week i have posted my question on the forum and after only half an hour i got a respons. It was really useful and the forum gives the opportunity to decide wether the comment was useful or not. When i clicked the button 'i think this tip was helpful' i got the message that my vote has been registered. But where is it registered to? Does this relate to the rating a person has?

There are three different kind of rankings:

1. VT rank: Your VT Rank is your overall rank as a tip maker and travel forum helper, within the VT community. Your rank is based solely on the ratings that your tips, and travel forum replies receive. While ratings and rank are mostly a fun, semi-serious way to interact with VT friends and to chart your progress, they also help to give a rough indication of where you might be likely to find helpful information. Additionally, it gives a thumbs up to great community members for sharing tips and helping others in the forum.

2. Deals rank: These top ranked members track down and post the best travel deals from around the web.

3. Rookie rank: A Rookie Rank is given to members who joined VT less than a year ago. 'Rookie' is a term usually used in sports that refers to a new player who is in this first year of the league. VT Members can have both a Rookie Rank and an overall VT Rank.
