The default tiers for forum member ranks in the ExpressionEngine discussion forum are:

0     Newbie
30    Jr
Member
50    Member
100   Sr
Member 

We had previously been using:

0     Newbie
30    Junior Member
100   Member
300   Senior Member
1000  Power User 

But our forum activity has increased so much in the past 1-2 years that there are now many people with over 1000 posts, and some above 2500, 5000, 10000, etc.  It seemed time to add some new ranks in to accommodate the upper tiers, but the current names bore me.  They should be fun, but not goofy, and should work well for both ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter users, and other communities we might have as EllisLab creates them.  Hence, the lab metaphor.

0       Summer Student
30      Grad Student
100     Lab Assistant
300     Research Assistant
1000    Lab Technician
2500    Sr
Research Associate
5000    Research Scientist
10000

Wow, 10,000 members is unknown.  Interesting, I wonder who will be the first to open up the EE forum boss level.  That is a boatload of posts.

It looks like anyone above 10 000 posts now reverts back to a mere “Administrator”. wink

Rocket Scientist gets my vote for that bracket.
