This is just a silly thing to pass the time, but when you reach a certain amount of posts on forums your "rank" improves and you get a corresponding title. The default on this forum is "Newbie" at 0 posts, "Member" at 10 and "Advanced Member" at 30. These mean nothing in practice and one can add as many "ranks" as one wants.

So does anyone have any amusing ideas of what "ranks" there should be?

If you're gonna keep it related to LaRouche, could be something like:

Replace "Newbie" with "Morally Unfit to Survive"

Replace "Member" with "Enlightened Patriot"

Replace "Advanced Member" with "World-Historical Leader"

or some such.

I don't have any serious suggestions for renaming or adding ranks, but in the interest of humor:

Whore of Babylon

Member of the Queen’s Privy Council

Prince Philip

Agent of Soviet Influence

Leesburg Garden Club “these clacking busybodies in this Soviet jellyfish front sitting here in Leesburg oozing out their funny little propaganda making nuisances of themselves” (I might want to use that for my tagline)

Beast-man

Agent of [fill in the blank]

General Patton

Field Commander

Golden Soul

Or, Rank: a Secret Known Only to the Inner Elites

I think we should just let users enter whichever "rank" they choose (like Asteroid Dodging Member for man114 on FACTnet) rather than having anything preset.

Users who have at least a single post can set a custom title via "Edit Profile info" (in "My Controls") but yeah removing ranks altogether is possible I think.

Didn't read this beforehand but added a bunch of ranks based on LaRouche "status" though not really in order. I can change them if like Snard suggested we prefer to set our own designation. Let me know.

I considered doing that too but decided against it since it may look confusing to ex-cult members to have people with titles like "NCLC," "NC" and "Basement Team" under their usernames. That's why I prefer obvious humor.

I changed them all to LaRouche's frequently mentioned favorite philosophers and such.

Yeah that sounds innocent enough.
