I wouldn't have anything against this idea really, people already posts 1 or 2 words replies already just to get their post count up so I don't think the amount of people that want to achive "cool" ranks would increase that much. You easily notice such things anyways. As Tyki said, they probably do it already, you can go onto the member list and kinda figure out when you reach which rank by just looking at members post, if not people can probably ask them via a pm if they were really lazy. Even rak here says she will give out the ranks via pm if wanted. So why shouldn't we have a post for the levels?
I'm so not getting the point. You can't have it both ways, either you let everyone know, or try to keep it a secret, and a secret is kinda hard on a board like this.
"But what about those who still want to find out by working their way there?"
Well, then they can just skip watching that post about the level just as much as they can skip sending admins a pm about the levels.
You all catch mai drift?
I'd say we make a post with the ranks, cause I really don't see any use in not having it.

And saf, I think I replied to one of your help threads some while back, and I havn't seen any private messages from you either. xd
