<p>A, but include their last known rank
</p>
(Edited by Keplers)
B. D would be terribly inaccurate as the minute reqs were lowered in early Feburary and users would have naturally ranked up after that. A is just... No.

<p>it would be nice to include what rank they had before the first req change, after the first req change, and after the second req change if possible

<p>So we go back to just prior to all of the req changes and keep it at what each user actually achieved.
</p><p>I did nothing to obtain Alien, so why should I have it? My rank should be a reflection of my <i>actual</i> accomplishments on the Message Boards, not because the Moderators were feeling generous, and it should be recorded as such.
