hell, I'd rather be labeled as a leecher as opposed to a releaser or grand master.. |
Do any of these titles cause offence to anyone? When looking at the original meanings of some of the titles they may have a religious or dark side to them. However obviously nowadays their meanings are often expanded & a little different as they are used in different contexts. Question is, do any of the forum members find any of these titles offensive or do they trivialise religion? Do they make you think about religion? Looking at the terms used in a different dimension as they may sometimes be used today. This gives them more of a Mythical or Adventurous aspect. Some games & stories may use these titles in more of a poetic sense. Gnutella Addict, should this be changed to Gnutella Follower or Fan or Admirer instead? Or perhaps even changed to Gnutella Junkie? Obviously Gnutella was thrown in front of addict so no misunderstanding would occur in it's meaning. Novitiate, should this be changed to Novice or remain as it is? I felt Novitiate had more of an interesting sound to it than 'Novice'. There are some other forums that use Novitiate also for their user titles. Present Titles: Novitiate - 0 posts Apprentice - 5 posts Disciple - 10 posts Devotee - 20 posts Enthusiast - 30 posts Gnutella Addict - 50 posts Connoisseur - 100 posts Distinguished Member - 500 posts Proposed Titles: 0 = Novitiate 5 = Apprentice 10 = Disciple 20 = Devotee 30 = Enthusiast 50 = Gnutella Addict 75 = Gnutella Partisan 100 = Gnutella Worshipper or Gnutella Veteran 150 = Connoisseur 250 = Gnutella Seer 500 = Distinguished Member 750 = Exalted 1000 = Gnutella Aficionado Should any of these terms be replaced: Disciple, Devotee, Addict, Worshipper, Seer, Exalted? Does anybody not like the sound of Gnutella Muse, which is another possibility? |
Any responses? :) |
The only one I don't particularly like is worshipper. Veteran sounds much better. |
