I need help and don't know how to get it...

Quote by Catnip
Hi rapunzel.
The Forum Ranks are at first changing after how many posts you've posted.
Hence the change from Active Ink Slinger to Forum Guru.

If you want another rank than Forum Guru, you can contact Nicola(site matriarch)about it.
(My Rank was given to me. One day it was just changed and I loved it.)

Ah, that's where I went wrong. I asked Gav for "Gingerbread Lover" under mine, but I didn't get it. I came to the conclusion that this must be a site where you have to earn a given status (of the specially tailored variety), as opposed to just asking for it.

One site I'm on, they'd let you have pretty much what you wanted, until (at the time, there are now many more) 50,000 members cottoned on, and all started wanting things like "Bass Turd" and "Effing Shark Slayer"under their names. Admin just couldn't cope with all the requests! I would guess with the hundreds of thousands of members here, a free-for-all on the rank lines would end up with things like... actually, I don't dare think about it.

And I bet Admin would need physiotherapy for their RSI-injured wrists (if they don't need it already. )

Oh no, that's terrible. You should definitely get Gingerbread Lover as your status. I think we should start a campaign. Maybe it could be just gold members who can choose their status, just so that the admins don't get swamped.

But what about us who have no money? That means that no matter how active we are in the site or anything like that we never get our status' changed.... I think it would be better if the more active ones of us would be able to get it as well as those with gold.

I totally get your point.

Perhaps it's just mods and the mods of the blue site who get them? That would make sense, because after all, Admin do have a lot to do. Guess I'm going to have to up my game and see if I can become the official Lush Gingerbread Verifier.

It's not a Gold Member thing. Specialized ranks were around before the Gold Member option was available.

Typically it's reserved for mods, verifiers, 'special contest' winners (like biggest attention whore, and annual most popular), and veteran site contributors.

I was around for a long time before I got mine. Good things come to those who are patient. That's what makes the unique rank names more special when you do get them.

I remember when Nicola bestowed mine upon me; it was a touching moment. She's the bestest.

Quote by crazydiamond

Gav gave me mine, but said it should have read " Misfit Mineral ".

He's right. Or "Mental Jewel"...

I answered the OP personally.

I didn't want this on my hands...

FFS! They told me they'd hidden all of those pictures! The no-good crummy individuals! I shall be having stern words.

I guess I will never get my own specialized rank from Gav or Nicola. Especially after including images of both of then in the recent/current caption contest. So sorry wonderful matriarch for giving you a storm-troopers head to go with your wonderful furry body and bushy tail.

Quote by nicola


Considering where you live, how about, "Wine Connoisseur"? That can be abbreviated

Quote by 1redheadrapunzel
Thanks to all that have posted here and that answers my silly question. To our lovely matriarch Nicola... Redhead Rhapsodist? Titan Tractation? LOL, I have no idea... alas, my words fail me when I want to use them for my benefit. Titan Temptress? Ugh! Prolific Puckster? Gossamer Ginger?

Quote by MoonlightSerenity


Hehe.... Anything with Ginga or Ginger and you'll have shylass coming after you.......

(And nicola - I think it would be hilarious if yours or Gav's were changed to "Master of the Lush Universe" )

Quote by Shylass
Ginger? Did somebody mention ginger? Do they have any bread? Is there gingerbread???

Quote by MoonlightSerenity


Hehe.... No bread but there is ginger.... 1readheadrapunzel is wanting ginger in her rank....

And rapunzel - no need to be flattered. I like giving honest opinions

Quote by 1redheadrapunzel


Lady's you fluster and flatter me... If you would, help our lovely Mistress to come up with a moniker for me???
I am pretty much an author and and redhead... country, witchy, etc... if any ideas, please don't hesitate to PM or Chat me.
Hugs...
Punz

Redheaded Beauty?
Dirty Little Red?

Quote by 1redheadrapunzel
