The Honorary Awards go to the members giving the community the most, and the Honorary Rank is how that is measured. It is the sum of the two awards you already carry beside your alias:

Shrewdness is the average number of recommendations your posts received over the last year.

Article-length Score is how you write — how much of your writing is article-length:

Harvest Score is from the rare Harvest Awards, held only by authors of exceptionally prolific output:

So a member with a Shrewdness of 7, a Cappuccino and a Dawn holds an Honorary Rank of 7 + 6 + 5 = 18. Shrewdness is a ratio — recommendations per post — so it says how well your writing lands however much or little of it there is. The other two count what you actually gave: how deeply you wrote, and how much. They are weighted to matter — the harvest alone reaches 20 — because a rank resting on a ratio alone would place a member who writes rarely above one who writes constantly and is read by everybody.

Honorary standing is based on posts only over the last 12 months — a member who joined this year can earn it and everybody else has to keep earning it.
