User blog comment:Fairingrey/Thoughts 7-29-14: Partially Comprehensive List of Tips to Ranking, Sending and Slapping/@comment-25113930-20140731114136/@comment-24802125-20140731141523

Your peak rank is listed under your profile as "Rank All Time". This indicates the highest rank you have EVER achieved in the game.

Good senders have a peak rank of between 1000-2000. Very good senders have a peak rank between 500-1000. If you don't put in enough hours to peak rank that high on any one day during ranking, then don't think about ranking until you do. There is a HUGE point gap between where rank 500 sits to where 600 sits, and its a fairly large difference of points since that's where all the rankers lurk.

A cheapskate does not necessarily have to have a low peak rank to be a bad trader or sender. Instead, they're nonpreferable because they do send low HP FAWs. Cheapskating for trades, on the other hand, means that you're 'expecting' sends when you have a non-admirable peak rank. If you don't peak higher than rank 1000, that means you are not spending your allotment of bp correctly, or you are letting it hit the cap and not recharge.

As a 'trader' we expect you to be of ranking caliber. That's why we don't send anything back to people who don't bother putting in the effort to rank if they have a really pathetic peak rank. If you delete someone just because they don't send you back stuff, that's fine. However, you have to think of the reasons why.
