    Hello Digital World,
    I am from the UK but live on a Spanish owned island off the coast of Morocco, when I am on line you can see me on the user map, which is a very nice feature on this forum. I turned to IM 9 months ago for health reasons when I could no longer practice my profession as an osteopath.
    A fellow member of The Warrior Forum suggested that I check out Digital Point. When I made my first post to reply to someone who wanted suggestions to get more views on You Tube, the word PEON appeared next to my post name. Could someone please tell me what I did to deserve this insult.
    Thank you all in advance for your help, wishing you all success.
    Peer :)
    Ps. from the Urban Dictionary:
    PEON
    Someone with the lowest social standing, such that commoners may pee on them with impunity.

    Just keep posting and that will soon change to "Grunt".... Now that's much better, isn't it? ;)

    LOL oh man this is too funny. Its just a ranking system that the forum uses. Everyone starts out at Peon and then progresses to Grunt, and so on. As the guy above states, just keep posting!
    Welcome by the way!

    The names came from World of Warcraft, my present 'champion of the Naaru' is no better than 'peon'.

    Thank you all for replying.
    It is nice to know how things work here, and I could not find it in the FAQ.
    I don't know what World of Warcraft is but I do think that the forum could have thought up a more peaceful system. There is enough war going on in the world.
    To your success
    Peer :D

    Don't take it personal... the more you post, you'll notice that name keeps changing.

    So I thought this was serious like people are insulting on this forum. As it being my first day I really did not understand what you meant by being called a peon but then noticed it next to the name... mine too! : )

    But after reading what a peon is.... it says we did not hard work jobs.... so I guess we can say we are hard workers till we become a grunt! lol

    This forum is great, the sad part is you have to have 20 posts to even write in the sell/buy forums =/
