or:
"Firmly Entrenched"
or:
"NOT 1337
(and proud of it....)"
or:

how about :

'part of the fixtures'
'veteran' (or 'LQ veteran')
'black belt'
'expert'
'sensai' (japanese for 'teacher'

Would be kinda neat that if somewhere rookie could be thrown in. Would not be demeaning in anyway would just meant someone who has been trained but now is a member but a new member.

dictionary.com discription might say it better:
1. An untrained or inexperienced recruit, as in the army or police.
2. An inexperienced person; a novice.

but then again that might be fitting just after the newbie phase who knows!

For 1K i kinda like LQ Addict. I have nothing to suggest right away, But I will

questionasker · 02-01-2004, 02:03 PM

Fachmann -(german "expert")

are we trying to stick to a specific language?, or can we suggest anything?

i mean, you might get something like-
enseignant, el maestro, Lehrer, l'insegnante, Leraar, o professor, преподаватель, lærer-
all translations of "teacher"

yah i think that at 1K that Guru should be removed and placed up the chain a bit ... not sure at what post count, but i think a higher amount would be more reasonable ...
LQ addict should stay, and maybe something else like already suggested such as Dedicated Member ...

or how about a chance to put a little icon undr our name (like jeremy's penguin), you could have a few available to pick from

5K --> Force-to-reckon-with

synaptical · 02-03-2004, 12:27 PM

1k: Senior member/power luser

2.5k: Senior member/LQ Addict
5k: Senior member/Hacker
10k: Senior member/Guru

(i.e., one always has the option to pick senior member)

Dewar · 02-03-2004, 12:43 PM

Of all the choices people have put forth, LQ Veteran sounds the best to me by far. I also agree that guru should be moved up the chain a bit (but then again, with gen posts not counting it's going to take longer to get there now.)

It would be cool to have more titles past 2k, but that's not what this thread is about is it? One thing at a time everyone.
