User levels

[Don B. Cilly]

Let me choose me own and I'll surprise ya

Still, maybe...
Serious Member? Nah, that would apply to me even less... ;·)
Old Hand? Prized Contributor? Almost Family? Ally? Apprentice Wizard?
Accomplice? ;·)

Oh, all right, I'll come up with something. Give me a moment to confer with my colleague think about it.
Anything is better than Kubuntu as Second Language...

What do you want it to say? "Not super knowledgeable but really chatty"

You just need a thousand more to become a Cyborg, have at it.

Maybe you could have stopped at 999 THEN made a new user

I wish to lodge a formal protest ;·) on user level names.
Having just written 1000 posts, I now have "Kubuntu as Second Language" in my forum user profile.
Pros: None :·)
Cons: It gives the wrong message.

For one thing, I'm trilingual, so it would be my fourth. ;·)
For another... I really love Kubuntu (and KFN) but my knowledge of it is quite... dismal really :·0
So people (especially new ones) read my "cilly" posts and think, man, he's got "Kubuntu as Second Language " he must know what he's talking about...

May I suggest that after 1000 posts users would be allowed to set their own level name? (subject to moderation, it doesn't happen every day).
Or that the Second Language thing be amended globally?

Alternatives (for me) could be that I stop spouting nonsense - unlikely, knowing me... :·) or that I make a new user...
