Just received an email from Agoracom.

In part it said "

As you might be aware, in response to persistent user requests,
we have realigned our Ranking System.

In our previous version, one was merely required to surpass a Ranking Point
total in order to obtain a Vice President or President Rank within AGORACOM
(750 and 1500 ranking points respectively).

With our new upgrade, it is now a requirement that a member holds a minimum
rating of 3.0 and 3.3 in order to attain Vice President or President status
within AGORACOM.

As stated on the an alert displayed over the weekend , the rank changes are
mathematical and objective."

Cheers
