Silly Title wanted, or not!

[ccga3359]

I am hard-pressed to recall a single instance in the 3 years I've been on board that someone has waved their post count over someone else's head. I know of no one here that is so ignorant as to believe that their post count is indicitive of their kilting knowledge.

In order of ascending hierarchy can anyone post a list of the titles and the number of posts required to attain them?

I'm guessing probably not...

I shall shed the baby fat [NEW] brackets with my tenth post. . (to be a Kilted Member);
Now, it’s on and up through the flights to the heights of Kilted-Dom.
I’ll find the Kilted Regiment @ 50 posts;
The Kilted Samurai @ 100 posts;
The Kilted Warrior @ 250 posts;
The Kilted Gentry @ 500 posts;
and the most honorable Kilted Noble @ 750 posts;
Fittingly I’ll be on the threshold of history with 1000 posts as I become the Kilted Elder;
Should I persevere to the grandest, loftiest of titles? Yes. For as I enter my 2000th (that’s two thousandth) post I will be a Kilted Legend!
Could this be the highest height? Could this be the Grandest of the Grand? No? Here, I have seen the Grand Defender of his Kilt.
Yet, higher still we have come finally to attain a sighting of the Ancient oder of the Kilt.

I think the older the post the greater the aroma

Morrison I stand corrected, I thank you. I would bestow upon you the title "Kilted Elder, keeper of archives".

I don't know about that!
I'll wager I know a little bit less than anyony else about kilts and other stuff too. I have 749 posts with THIS post and everyone know that at 750 posts I become a non titled Kilted Noble who knows much less than I would if I were training fleas at the market.

Them archives are heavy and weighty and fill a great deal of space. Even thought it appears there is space in there for archives, I'm afraid that that space in my attic is filled with vacuum and guano and others strange things! !

HAY!!
This post is my 750th!

I would have had the title KILTED NOBLE bestowed upon me. Sunufugun

With this post I'll be at 4810 and I'm sure that you know as much and probably more about kilts than me, and posibly more about rubber chickens except for the fact that in Canada we have to import them in from China.

I don't rub 'em.

Just choke 'em.

I don't believe I stated that I had seen or experienced someone waving their own post count over another member's head. If I did, that was not my intention.

I believe I stated that I've seen members with lower post counts dismissed over their own count.

There's a difference. I'm not the only one who's been on the receiving end of the latter.

Twice recently someone with a low post count who could have been argued with from a different perspective (and who had left a lot of room for himself to be) was instead shot down simply over his post count. What does that say to others about the character of the general community? We were willing to dismiss people because they were new even before we suspected they might be trolls? I've seen this happen in the past as well with folks who turned out to be productive community members.

These sorts of dividing lines make nice catch 22's. If you come to learn, you're irrelevant until you can prove otherwise with knowledge and experience you may not have. If you try to be friendly, you're trying to pad your relevancy. What's left? To sit down and shut up because someone else has been here longer and everything important has already been discussed?

This is exactly the reason many of the forums I have frequented have post count, post count based titles, etc. turned off.

Maybe we should go the one step further eh? and take out the join date. Then that would solve everybody's problem as you wouldn't know who was knew or who hasn't been here from the beginning. As for the tone in my post it's extreme sarcasm!
As one of the old farts on this forum, I've been through the changes, I think 6.
Sometimes it's easier to point someone to the search button, guide someone into some easy research. In so doing it's easy to tell who has a wealth of knowledge and the quality of the post.
I never had a title, no probs. I got a kick out of the monikers. Heck it's a forum! Grab a chair, pour a dram or bevy, read, communicate.
As in our true Canadian Game, I'll take a 2 minute penalty and watch the power play.
Geez it's a full moon tonight!

Just to clarify, when many of us speak of titles, we are not referring to the ones based on poast count but to those bestowed on individuals. Raphael was The Kilted Dragon, I was the Kilted Writer, Grant was the Grand Defender of the Rubber Chicken. Those titles were earned. They were not based upon post counts.
