Holy wisdom, holy word.How do I change my rank?
In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). Most boards use ranks to indicate the number of posts you have made and to identify certain users. For example, moderators and administrators may have a special rank. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank -- you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.
But...
Do I understand from this that only admins and mods can customize their rank levels? Or do I recall correctly that if you reach over (some absurd number) of posts, you can then request a custom rank?
I've been increasingly uneasy with "Chiteijin - Cave Dweller" as it makes me feel like I share a bachelor pad with Osama bin Laden. I'd prefer "Hikikomori - Cocoon Dweller."
Edit: I screwed up the spelling of "Hikikomori" in the first version -- gomen.
