SDMB book contest!

If we’re being serious here, I think it would be a shame to have some sort of permanent popularity contest.
What’s wrong with just Member and Guest?

I want to chime in with the afore-mentioned “Member”. I think that’s just fine.

Works for me.

Oh, I do have a sweet spot for “Stupidest Poster”, but maybe if custom titles are paid for (which I would support), I could buy it for the person I have in mind.

185

Mods can be Zot’s Bots

Banned are in Deep 13

I will be TV’s Frank

186

Hell, I like Charter Member.

It seems snooty now, but two years from now it will be way cool.

187

Some of these require rule changes that I won’t discuss in this thread (but generally endorse).

For when we offer such a thing:
Lifetime Member

To be given to experts/celebrities/brilliant wits, who are specifically invited to join in the discourse:
Honorary Member

I like the concept of:
Charter Member

How about those renewals:
Member in Good Standing
vs.
Member in Arrears

For those who have been warned:
Probationary Member

To be applied posthumously :
Dear Departed Member

This could put an end to some questions:
Banned for ‘xxxx’
Examples:
Banned for Trolling
Banned for Defamation
Banned for Stupidity

188

Touche! (and mayhaps I should get that bad VB code subtitle?).

189

**Scuba_Ben **, and Encinitas, Thank you for: bBad VB coder[b/] & Okey Dopey

I’ll vote for those. :slight_smile:

I think this is a great idea. Has a classy feel, too. And heck, who doesn’t like a little flattery? (Except for people like Ed and Lynn, of course. People like that are way too smart and sophisticated to fall for a little thing like that. They’re way above it. Gosh, wouldn’t the world be swell if we were all a little more like them!)

Well, I really like the idea that paying members could choose their title like we are currently allowed to choose our sig. That way, if I didn’t like mine anymore I could change it.

Honored Guest for guest is brilliant.
For general subscribers, perhaps SMART (no, really!)
