In this case, it is quite possible that there is simply a veiled motivation for users to leave more messages... More posts mean more visits on the forum counter. Who needs this? We think, we calculate... :)

Are factions necessary?
No, because it is a meaningless division of users into completely equal groups.
Are ranks necessary? No. Because they encourage flooding.
"Flooding is the worst evil for a thinking reader" (c) ;)
Is it necessary to discuss all this? No. Because whoever can change it doesn't read all this nonsense. He has no time to read - he is busy counting... :D Sorry for the off-topic.

P.s.

I really wanted to become a harpy... only 1 message left, and then this happened.

That was the person's goal! Now the forum is guaranteed to have fifty new messages...
To Tony Montana I apologize for using your post as an example, nothing personal - it just fits the topic very well... ;)
