Now that we have the token system, I've changed it so that any post (except to the test subforum) will increment your post count.

Here is how the post ranking is set up:
Newbie - 0 posts
Student - 10 posts
Apprentice - 100 posts
Scholar - 250 posts
Sage - 500 posts
Guru - 1000 posts
Prodigy - 2500 posts
Savant - 5000 posts

I like Legend and Uberposter.

How about Legend at 7500 and Uberposter at 10000?

How about "Has WAAAAAAAAAAY to much time on their hands" when we get to 20000? :shock:
It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

It is possible to scrap the whole system and rename all the post count titles.

On the other hand, though the post count title doesn't accurately reflect a person's debating skills, it does sorta reflect that person's experience and ability to abide by the rules. It is possible to gain Guru status and be a terrible debater. But most of them usually drop out before then.

Also, I'd have to make 16000 posts before I can become a philosopher?! :shock:
Are extra tokens awarded to those who win any of the annual debating awards?
We must continually ask ourselves whether victory has become more central to our goals than truth.

Last year, it was 250 tokens per award.

When I first started it took months before I realized there was some title. I remember when I was a student and thought I messed up and wrote something wrong on my stat page. Then It took months to realize I was getting tokens and why. Then I make it to the top and feel like I can retire and you make another higher category. Just when I think Mack and I can find some cloud to sit on and sneer you want to add another category.
How about after a million posts we put "Can't get rid of him"?
