Members who joined in 1999 should keep the “Charter Member” designation. ---

Instead of “Banned” - “Dope.” Short and sweet. Or “Illegal Dope.” Or, since we’re fighting ignorance, “Casualty.” For Mods + Admin’s - Sword Of Cecil. Or Fist/Blade/Hammer/Whip/Secret Police Dog of Cecil. ---

How about doing something like google does? (Or used to do, I don’t know if they still do with their recent change). We could have titles depending on the season or holiday (although with diverse membership, this may not work out). How about : **Dope Springs Eternal Winter of our Dope Dopetober Skies Summertime Dope** Of course it would be backward for our southern hemisphere dopers. Dammit why do we have such a diverser far flung group? Okay, then how about : \*\*Hamster Herder \*\* and for people with lots of posts (you know who you are) **Hamster Abuser** Take care GES ---

I liked **Educable** and **Unbanned** the best so far. Maybe it’s just my experiences with the Reagan era, but I’m uncomfortable with **Dopefeind**. ---

> [@caphis](#): > > For **Libertarian** : > Then again, I just say let all Charter Members pick their own titles. Agreed. Default to “Member”, and make it an option. If you must use a set title, I kind of like “Doper”. ---

For General Use Came Back, Brought Pie Badger Badger Badger Mushroom Bonsai Kitten Classified World Class Drunk Engage! Hominid I’m also against the use of Charter Member. Nobody should be penalized for not finding the SDMB sooner. If any elite class of title is created, it should be granted only by popular, and unseen votes. There would be no threads or polls on this. Periodically the mods would anounce that they were considering nominations. Dopers would e-mail their choices. The winner or winners would be anounced. Their titles would be changed, and they would be inducted into the Clique in a bizarre ceremony the details of which need not concern us. ---

One of the best things about this board is the diversity of knowledge and talents found here. I agree with those who have said let’s not be elitest about when people joined or about how many posts they have. That said, I vote for customizable (is that a word?) titles for all paid members. It works for other boards and allows for much creativity and many laughs. Rob ---
