Question: when/how can you customize your "rank"

Post by sensei »

A reading from the FAQ. Glory to thee, Sith-Krillan!
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.
Holy wisdom, holy word.

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.

I thought you were able to customize it after 2000 posts.

This is true, but one of the admins has to do it for you ;).

Just send a pm to Magician, Goldknight or Deadly Whispers with what you want your custom title to be and they will change it for you. :) You just need 2000 posts to get it. Here's the rankings.

0 - Newbie
25 - Anime Geek
50 - Otaku - Fanatic
75 - Eiketsu - Mastermind
125 - Juuyaku - Executive
150 - Eiyuu - Hero
200 - Kamisama - God
275 - Kishin - Fierce God
600 - Kuwabarakuwabara - Oh My God!
900 - Senpai - Elder
1500 - Yosutebito - Hermit
2000 - Chiteijin - Cave Dweller
2500 - Taiyo - Sun Fearer
3000 - Himajin - Get A Life

In another thread I posted this in, I put custom titles come after that. I should have written that you can get a custom title after 2000 posts but I didn't. Just felt it easier to type what I did so I hope I didn't confuse you.
Can you hear this fangirl squee?!
