Is there any information about what "Rankings" mean here?
How do you achieve a certain rank?
Is there something that comes with certain ranks, other than the title on your profile?
...
Hi wittier Jason is correct regarding best practices and that on our community, moving up in the rank structure will not open up new permissions. Additional permissions/perks are granted based on the account status: customers, partners, employees or Lithium Stars, will have more/different permissions than other community members.
Hope this answers your question,
Thanks JulieH for explaining about that part.
Is there a list of the ranks? or an indication of what is used to set the ranks?
Thanks!
Hi wittier
You can see the list of your ranks in Community Admin → Users → Ranking. The ranks are achieved based on various algorithms. For lower ranks, you may want base it on time since registration, amount of logins, etc. Higher ranks can be based on the number of posts, accepted solutions and received kudos, but there are many options.

I'm using the site community.lithium.com and I don't know where to find that here.
Hi again wittier
Stephen is referring to how you can see your own community's ranks (and potentially edit/add to them).
But as previously mentioned, here on the Lithium Community the list of ranks is not shared with the community.
Regarding motivation, it's certainly a valid opinion that you would find a list more motivating. Everyone is different. But generally I think that most people are more motivated by the surprise element - once you know what all the ranks are (and especially if you know how to achieve them) there is less "pull" to try to rank up to see what the next level is. I'm sure Mike Wu has covered this topic on his excellent blog - http://community.lithium.com/t5/Science-of-Social-blog/bg-p/scienceofsocial
Cheers,
Jason
