Just curious, I noticed recently that one of te site moderators made it so some of the higher posters no longer have newbie under their name in the avatar (some are cadets and ensigns). I was wondering what it takes to get up to lieutenant, since matress hasnt even made it there yet.

Does it take over 800 posts to make it to Ensign? Geez ... that's a high standard. At this rate I'll make it in about 4 years.

Maybe there is a small change possible, i almost have 1800 posts, and am still an ensign... Still i don't doubt that this forum will remain for a lot of years. I will try and look what it takes to become a luitenant or whatever... is next.

EDIT: I changed it a bit, i will discuss with Jiglypuf the needed ranking stats. I can even give myselfe a special rank. Lol see my special rank. Gotta change it i think.

Lietenant Commander on deck. As ease, Ensign Rigel, at ease...

Yep i see the change. Anythings better than the word newbie.

We're gonna have a posting war now, aren't we SOM?

Hey Iwulff, some Trek forums put rank pips under the post rankings. Just a thought...

Yeah i know, i'm already busy with those, i finished the pictures. I only have to upload them to the server, and link them with the ranks. SPAM will get deleted MOE and SOM...

Come now, have I ever spammed this site?

It's nice to be a Lieutenant Commander...can we order the newbies around? Coz Jig is still listed as a newbie...

Or do we have priority orders from our Fleet Admirals?

Due to all respect gentlemen, me as a cadet thinks you should not patronize newbies to much, because there is a reason cadets have a rank over them

I wasn't patronising people, I was just joking. Surely you guys realise by now i'd never intentionally offend people?

I like to have a joke, but I'd never do it if I knew someone was gonna be insulted, offended, or whatever.

And if I ever did, then i'd appologise for it.

I wouldn't wanna be banned from the forums or anything, especially after spending all this time on the site... 8O

I could make the mods fleet admirals, will take a second lol...

Jig and Gav are fleet admirals now...

You saw the ": P " in my post? Never meant it seriously, Sir!

Yes, I know, but I have to make sure there is no question over my integrity. All part of the deception, you see...

Enisgn TrekBoy Chris Do we know what the Promotion post marks are?

Yes i do.. but shouldn;t we keep those a suprise?

It seems 100 is Cadet. It'll take me a while to get there, so I dont really need to guess the others yet.

Good point, probably makes you feel better then

And still, I'd like to remain adressed with 'centurion'. Those strange human ranks don't mean jack! :p

How about we meet you in the middle and just call you p'tagh!




-Abbs, Queen of the Newbies

dammit iwulff you ruined my little joke i gave one more post for mattress and he would have had a special rank

Well done wullfy

geez 1000000000000000 more and i might make cadet

Nah only 95 more to go mate

Now you dont want to make everyone at ease, the people with IBS may give you more than you bargained for.

I am still curious thoough, iwulff, can you tell us how many posts we need for any particular rank?

IBS?

Irritable Bowl Syndrome

- no laughing matter to be honest

I've added as all you people can probally see pictures of ranks on the forum. Hope they look nice enough? Members with less then 100 posts will only get the little star we all know. But if you reach the 100 posts, you will get the rank of cadet.

I won't tell you the ranks, Rigel. You just have to see for yourselve. But i did rounded up the numbers a bit...

I suppose it's something like:
100 - cadet
500 - ensign
1000 - lieutanant
1500 - lieutanant-commander
...

Seems like that to me.

- 118 posts until next promotion ^^

It's all a waiting game...I have eyes and ears everywhere...all I had to do was wait until he posted, and your plan was ruined.

It helps when you're part of an effective intelligence organisation.
