Regarding the designation of all of us as "New Members".
I assume that is in response to Wookie-Leeks rant last night.

It's fine, but I do want to mention one thing:

Sometimes newbies post questions about board navigation. I have always been glad to help if I know the answer to the question. Furthermore, I have always tried to welcome new posters if they introduce themselves on this forum.

With the designation of "New Member" now, I feel it would be a little silly for me, a new member, to try to answer a question posed by another new member so that will need to stop.

It will be equally silly to welcome another new member - presumably only slightly more new than myself. So that will also need to stop..... for me anyway. I won't be welcoming anyone.

There really was no need to put everyone in the same place for some sort of "fairness". But since it was done, I will back off and be the "new member" my designation indicates I should be. I know my place and will move to the back of the bus accordingly.

That title is just temporary as I look at expanding what we had setup.

I wasn't aiming for some exalted title for myself...........so I hope it didn't come across that way.......... And it looks like I should have waited a little while to see what's going on before complaining.

Sorry.

Is something along the lines of Grand Muckkity Muck a possibility?

Hmmmmmm..............I was sort of thinking of "Grand Poobah" since "poo" has frequently been used in describing my posts.

Would you like to use the same titles as when we were on vBulletin? (Senator etc). If so, can you please list out the order that you would like them to be in according to post count.

I want to be the Imperial Emperor

We have two options:

A setup like we have previously based on post count.

or

We can allow you to pick what ever title you want, within reason of the rules.

I would opt for a title based on post count.
Perhaps
Lieutenant = up to 5,000 posts
Captain = 5001 to 15,000 posts
Major = 15,000 to 20,000
Colonel 20,000 to 25,000
General = over 25,000

Or similarly it could be Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquess, Duke (but those are gender specific so maybe not).

Then there's the Senator, Governor, Mayor, Council Member, Peon
(or something like that) (and I know this is in reverse order to the others)

But I am thinking there need to be 5 designations with 5,000 post separation.

Probably "peon" is insulting so maybe President, Senator, Governor, Mayor, Council Member (unless President is too lofty). I had a little trouble with that line obviously.

Owl
Hawk
Eagle

Vulture

Well, since I opted for only 5.... maybe Sparrow, Blue Jay, Owl, Hawk, Eagle...... and the (hee hee hee) moderators can be vultures . Hey..........maybe the Hummingbirds can be those who join but never post? The minute you make a post you become a Sparrow. ... or maybe a finch instead of a sparrow.......sparrows are so boring.

You're onto something here, lupe.
