Does anyone have a list of how many posts will change the name under your screename...(ie Civilian, Soldier, etc.) I have always been curious what all of the names are.

</p>

I am not sure if the # of posts does change anything on this board. I believe all the mods have the ranking of "Capo" and FOMW (founder of the board) is "Boss". But again, I am not sure.

</p>

I looked at the active members list, and it looks like I may move up to Soldier after 150 posts. I know I moved up from civilian to associate; there may have been something in between.

</p>

after 100 posts you go from civilian to associate, after 150 you move up to soldier. Beyond that, no idea. But yes, all mods have 'capo' status regardless of no of posts, and FOMW is boss.

Fly might actually be able to clarify immediately as she possibly set the parameters for rankings

Oh, interesting Jimmy...but you only have 81 posts and you are already an associate.

LOL, clearly i havent a clue then, that has just changed - the benchmark must be 80 posts to move up to associate!

Okay, I just checked the rankings I set up (purely arbitrarily) and here they are:

1-74 posts: civilian

75-149 posts: associate

150+ posts: soldier

The above are all automatic rankings that occur when the various post totals are reached. Capo ranks are assigned manually, regardless of # of posts, and the recipients get moderator powers.

Ok thank you for clearing that up.

I became a Junior Associate after 25 posts.

If I'm reeeeeaaalllly good, can I be an Acting Capo some day?

Or maybe something like what Hesh has going for him...

IIRC, capos -- who are actually moderators -- are appointed only, but you get to be an honorary capo down the line if you have a certain number of posts. The number escapes me. But at the rate you're going, you should get there pretty quickly.
