I know it's best to search first and I did, but I just can't find it anywhere. what's a grunt? I assume it's a name given to a users frequency of posts, but... what's a "banned" located in the same place for some users who if "banned" are still posting. What am I missing. Also, how do you check a users reputation? Is there a list of these code names somewhere and what they mean. I really can't find it and I'm sorry as it does seem a rehash? Surprised if never asked.
There are many post regarding user titles. Newest members are peons, next level are grunts, ... The titles come from the World of Warcraft and are based on number of posts. A few members who have paid for a customized title have chosen to use the banned title. A mambers rep can be approximated by number of green blobs. Each of the dark green blobs represents 100 rep points, the light green 200 points. There is a maximum number of rep points that can be represented in upper right hand corner. We have many members with reps above the estimation you can get by counting blobs.
