    In order of ascending hierarchy can anyone post a list of the titles and the number of posts required to attain them?

    I'm guessing probably not...

    I am hard-pressed to recall a single instance in the 3 years I've been on board that someone has waved their post count over someone else's head. I know of no one here that is so ignorant as to believe that their post count is indicitive of their kilting knowledge.

    Morrison I stand corrected, I thank you. I would bestow upon you the title "Kilted Elder, keeper of archives".
    I don't know about that!
    I'll wager I know a little bit less than anyony else about kilts and other stuff too. I have 749 posts with THIS post and everyone know that at 750 posts I become a non titled Kilted Noble who knows much less than I would if I were training fleas at the market.

    Them archives are heavy and weighty and fill a great deal of space. Even thought it appears there is space in there for archives, I'm afraid that that space in my attic is filled with vacuum and guano and others strange things! !

    HAY!!
    This post is my 750th!

    I would have had the title KILTED NOBLE bestowed upon me. Sunufugun

    With this post I'll be at 4810 and I'm sure that you know as much and probably more about kilts than me, and posibly more about rubber chickens except for the fact that in Canada we have to import them in from China.

    I don't believe I stated that I had seen or experienced someone waving their own post count over another member's head. If I did, that was not my intention.

    I believe I stated that I've seen members with lower post counts dismissed over their own count.

    There's a difference. I'm not the only one who's been on the receiving end of the latter.

    Twice recently someone with a low post count who could have been argued with from a different perspective (and who had left a lot of room for himself to be) was instead shot down simply over his post count. What does that say to others about the character of the general community? We were willing to dismiss people because they were new even before we suspected they might be trolls? I've seen this happen in the past as well with folks who turned out to be productive community members.

    These sorts of dividing lines make nice catch 22's. If you come to learn, you're irrelevant until you can prove otherwise with knowledge and experience you may not have. If you try to be friendly, you're trying to pad your relevancy. What's left? To sit down and shut up because someone else has been here longer and everything important has already been discussed?

    This is exactly the reason many of the forums I have frequented have post count, post count based titles, etc. turned off.
