This is a really good idea, actually. It's got built-in expandability, it doesn't imply anything that we dont want it to (though it might be funny laughing at the Diablo-level users—maybe we can limit this one to just qwerty12? ). As the forum grows and post counts grow, we just add new codenames on the end as Nokia comes up with them.

I'm in favor of voting this in right now. Perhaps with a post-count system that looks something like:
  • Mistral - 0-24
  • Scirocco - 25-99
  • Gregale - 100-249
  • Bora - 250-499
  • Chinook - 500-999
  • Diablo - 1000-1999
  • Fremantle - 2000-3999
  • Harmattan - 4000-*

As much as I have enjoyed the other suggestions in this thread, I have to agree with GA (Thank You eiffel). I'll second the motion to put it to a vote.

Did I just agree with GA? I need to go lay down....

Really? I can imagine a use for "Patronising member" and "Pompous member" level tags...

I like the idea of something user-settable after X posts, that would probably become fun and useless in the way GA originally proposed.

But I also like the idea of a descriptive field, "hardware developer", "alternative OS user", but can imagine that a large proportion of users would feel they bridge too many categories (and that's what sigs get used for anyway).

I'm not so keen on the OS version hierarchy, just because it will confuse some poor newbies when trying to dismabiguate their platform from the user level of their information sources...

The "no thanks"/"thumbs down" has an immediate appeal, but I think reasonable objections have already been advanced.

Yup | GA & eiffel FTW !

qole, I don't know what "Sardine" means to Canadians... but as a Frenchman, even though I'm prepared to be convinced that a sardine has edges, I would never consider cutting anything with one :-)

The OS codenames doesn't get my vote. I think it will be confused as indicating what OS people are using. I vote to get rid of the labels altogether.

Yeah, this might be an option. Maybe a big sticky thread explaining the member levels could work, too.

Any method should be objective which is why many forums use post and thanks count.

But why? Why would the forum need membership ranking in addition to the posts count and thanks count?
