binhex Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This has been bugging me for what seems like years!, its a VERY minor thing but i would love to know why brand new users with post counts less than 50 have a status of 'Advanced Member', seems a bit weird, i mean what do you get when you get to a 100 posts 'Serious Major Guru' ? 🙂, screenshot of a random user with less than 50 posts:- and yes i know you can change the text to whatever you want, but its stlll a weird default, surely 'Member' or 'New User' would be more fitting - there, i've said, now i can forget about it 🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 IIRC, only once you hit something like 500 / 1000 posts can you change the text. FWIW, this was the original suggestion by @RobJ Quote Newbie 0 Member 25 Advanced Member 200 Prolific 1000 Eats and sleeps unRAID 5000 Has no life 10000 1 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Of course post count is not a reliable indicator of how advanced anyone is. I remember one user with 1000+ and they were all questions, mostly already answered. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Instead of advanced, I think "established" is a better descriptor. So, @Squid@trurl,what does 20,000 posts get you? I already have no life, what can I look forward to? Quote Link to comment

SpencerJ Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Updated to this now: For all of you 1000+ posters, is there a consensus "Rank" you'd like me to add? I'm all ears... Quote Link to comment

I'm all ears... im no good at this sorta thing, perhaps 'Addict' or 'Guru' or 'Prolific' (RobJ) or 'NeedsToGetOutMore' 🙂 maybe we need a poll here where we can vote? Quote Link to comment
