Your suggestions for community rank names?

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:02:00 GMT

Hi guys,

As you know, we currently have members ranking from "Level 1: Beginner" to "Level 50: Rocket Scientist". Although we still do have a few more levels to go, we're slowly running out of rank names.

So, since we'll need to add new ranks soon, I wanted to ask you for your suggestions. Pete had a fantastic idea, saying we can best focus on specific starting letters.

Do you have any crazy, funny or cool rank names you think we should add? I'm sure you'll have some fabulous thoughts.

Would love to see what you come up with, so feel free to fire away!

Cheers,

Leonard

It might help to reduce the frequency they go up.

Have we got "Guru" or is that taking the "P" ?

Following on from the Liquid theme, how about "Drip" ?

Lvl 50 onwards just being "imrightyourwrong!"

Wouldn't want to demean ourselves by having the title of "guru":)

Could restore the "Superuser" rank.

How about "ninja". Reserved specially for the ex-superusers

No wait, that's what we should call The Mods rank because nobody sees them in action

How about having the next 26 ranks in alphabetical order - so we can "interpret" the relative levels whilst still having fun with the actual titles?

Without suggesting all 26 of them, the list could start with something like "Avenger", "Bullet Proof Monk" and "Captain Pugwash" - and end with "X-man", "Yoda" and "Zen Achieved", for example.

Edit...

Just had a thought - if we agree to go for an alphabetical list or something similar, it will make it easier to get a load of suggestions and then Leonard & Co can pick and chose between all of them to get the final list - someone may suggest a brilliant "J" and someone else a perfect "W", for example. It should also make it easier for us to "focus" on creating the names as we'd have a starting letter, a finite number to think up and a pre-set order of rank. (Even if we don't actually have aphabetically ordered ranks in the end, it might help make it easier for members to work to one when thinking up their list - easier to say "think of a word begining with "Q" than to just say "think of a word")

Fantastic idea, Pete and I'm sure that'll help a lot. I think it's brilliant. I'll update the original post every few days.

What are your ideas for ranks starting with an A?

Pete came up with Avenger. Toby just shouted Author, Amateur, Affiliate & Affluent. I'm sure all of you can do a lot better than Toby

There would be an awful lot of members who should automatically be assigned that rank
