On this forum we have a number of member "levels" that you hit when you reach a certain number of posts: Junior Member, Member, and Senior Member. Unfortunately, these titles they often imply that their owners have a certain status in the community that doesn't necessarily reflect that owner's real status within the community (in the case of a prolific troll, or an individual that likes to spam help requests, etc.). This issue has come up often enough (and out of left field often enough) that I believe it should be addressed as part of the Talk migration.

As such, I'd like to make this a contest of sorts to come up with the best set of replacement levels. Any proposed list should be appropriate (not your top-5 profanities, qwerty12 ), non-threatening (we don't want to repeat the problem with "Senior Member" we have now), and fun. The numbers 1-5 in Finnish would be a good example (Yksi, Kaksi, Kolme, Neljä, Viisi). Let's try to shoot for at least 5 levels, but feel free to add more if you want (though I'm not clear on exactly how the vBulletin system works).

Once we get a decent number of proposals, then I suppose we can move them into a poll. We'll also need to decide on the post value for each level. I figure the top level should be somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 posts (100 is appropriate for a new forum, but not a 4-year-old one).
