Hello, from what I can understand, the "rank" near the avatar/profile is based on the user's activity. Because the ranks of the Corporation are also military ranked, is very confusing, at least for me. I see lots of rear-admirals but they are actually only a few.
I mean the ranks from https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/TEST/members (don't know if we have an official roster beside that one).

Suggestion make forum ranks with a different scale? I'm sure we lots of cool ideas :))
Crazy one:
"T......" rank1
"Te...."
...
"Testie"

The forum ranking system awards copious shitposting.

Anyone you see that is a "Staff Member" is in charge of something real. There are a few others who are assigned under those staff people, but none of it is really implemented at this point. When I see a forum rank, I just mentally add "of shitposting" to the end.

Edit: Staff Members AND Division Leaders.

There is no confusion. I am a rear admiral. So turn around take your clothes off and show me that rear. That's an order.

@mromutt you have a yellow banner, so you're a BIG DEAL. Your signature and custom rank also indicate that you have transcended traditional ranks. I live to serve you and your army, my yellow rubber friend. And I think your signature is F#*king sweet.

@BUTUZ: Using you as an example of the rest of us non-banner types, I will address you as 'Rear Admiral of Shitposting,' and drop my pants because I'm only a 'Commander of Shitposting.'

You can't end transmission, I haven't chimed in yet. Sheesh. Talky McShitposty Owl dude hasn't had a chance to say nothing of importance about stuff and things.

What, you didn't actually expect a constructive post did you? I'm sober. ;)
