The LEGO Message Boards are an official forum on LEGO.com, in which fans may discuss LEGO-related topics online. Since the forum is intended to be safe for children, all posts are reviewed by moderators before becoming public. Users must have a LEGO ID to be able to post.

Ranks

Higher ranks can be achieved by posting more. Starting at 48 posts needed, the numbers will approximately double every rank you go up. The following is a list of the current ranks:

Stud Ranking

On the LEGO Message Boards, you will see eight studs above the person’s avatar’s head. Some may be yellow, and some may be white. The yellow ones are the ones that the poster has, and the white ones, the ones that they don't have. You gain one of these for having so many posts. What makes these different from the ranks, is that the amount of posts you need goes up as more people gain more posts. Therefore, you get a stud for being in the top so many posters.
