Forum ranks

I've been playing around with forum ranks, visible above your forum icon, based on post counts. It' a common feature on many forums, of course...may or may not keep them here, +/- add in rank badge icons, depending on feedback.

Current ranks (based on the Imperial Navy hierarchy) are as follows.

Cadet, 0 posts
Ensign, 10 posts
Lieutenant, 100 posts
Commander, 200 posts
Captain, 300 posts
Colonel, 500 posts
High Colonel, 1000 posts
General, 2000 posts
Admiral, 3000 posts
Moff, 5000 posts
Grand Moff, 10000 posts

Thoughts...?

Not fair!! You cheated!
You've got a "Grand Moff" Rank badge when you should only have be a "General". ;)

(Technically your one does say "Site Admin" when you hover the mouse of it.)

Plus, in the Imp Navy, it's generally safer to have someone higher up the chain around (to take the blame...and make apologies to Vader).

Yes, this internet rank is bestowed upon thee, along with all the riches (a grand total of 360 pixels of various shades of yellow) that come with it.

It's not cheating when you're writing the rules ;)

But, technically, the site admin rank badge is different from the Grand Moff (it is, in fact, a Grand Admiral rank...but hey, I needed something to highlight who to send inquiries and calls for help to). :)
