Any thoughts?

Just a thought.. has there ever been a proposal to change our user ranking thingy's? So instead of bowyers~lawyer or mcdermotts~ statitician etc there could be names that better reflect maybe the length of membership, number of posts posted or just general standing. A ranking system with ranks such as heavy hitter, marvel, contributor, guide, or even fresh meat -that'll be me then). Just a thought.

I thought that the current one does that, but in a very quiet and subtle way. I wouldn't like it to become elitist in any way!

No, it's fine the way it is.

The point of it is that you earn a new title the more posts you make.
That's it. Nice and simple.

Really ??

I thought it was common knowledge.
I can't remember the threshold for each step up the "ladder" though - it might be every 2000 posts ??
Maybe one of the other mods could confirm ?

Mine changed after 1000 posts, don't know the next level as I haven't reached it yet!

I can access each post level in the admin section of the forum. I'll do it later and post it here.

I'd do it now but I'm in bed just browsing the forum on my phone. Apologies to anyone who gets a mental image of me in bed, with a smoking jacket and cigarette on one of those long holder thingys
