Very creative! I wouldn't like to be the one assigning the titles though, slimtim!
To Russ: Hi Russ, the limitation of both the "titles" and "ranks" systems is that they're both based only on post count, which is visible anyway for each member on every post, and so in my view to use either to signify anything more than "amount of posting experience at pedelecs" would be misleading: a rank or title which suggests expertise for instance, could mislead because, while it helps, more posting doesn't necessarily equate with expertise

I rather like the simple "post count" as a measure of number of posts!
I don't think its a big issue since the meaning of any title/rank is largely redundant: it only signifies the post count, which is why I said before that a simple but accurate title system reflecting that is sufficient; in my view its best left to members to decide the level of expertise & quality & accuracy of advice, rather than it be suggested by a post count
