Community Ranks

Community Ranks are forum access ranks in CIT that give extra forum and community privileges. They are requested on the Community Ranks board and are earned through forum activity, recent helpful posting, or officially recognized community duties.

Community Ranks are not automatic. You must request the rank yourself once you meet the requirements.

Each rank is shown next to a member's name as a number of coloured bricks.

  • NCM, JCM, RCM, SCM and OCM use the green brick Green brick
  • Honorable uses the mint brick Mint brick

Rank overview

NCM New Community Member Green brick Default

SCM Senior Community Member Green brickGreen brickGreen brickGreen brick 400
