Its based on how attractive you are.
Huh, my gold medal came around 100 posts so I thought they were mile markers, but even just looking at the differences in this thread I see my idea completely out the window. Just yet another thing to tack on SE's list of secret stuff (or stashed in a forum corner somewhere.) Kinda reminds me of crafting in XI "Ok now face west, stand on one foot and say the items name backwards for 5% HQ increase." I still wonder to this day how accurate those player made breakdowns were.
In all honesty, I think it's a mix of post counts, likes you get, and likes you give.
interesting
Or it could be the almost 4500 posts. It may have to do with it all, who knows. Though the gold I got came exactly at 100 posts.
From what it looks like it appears a combo of, posts, threads started, likes given and likes taken. Guy above me has the same medals I do but at almost twice the posts I have.
Somehow I don't remember posting many and yet I got a gold medal
I'm not sure.
but I think you need to be liked by people.
I have 2,200+ posts but only 3 gold medals, probably because people usually hate what I said.
