Yes, actually, it is a rank on here now. For up to 5 posts, you are a plebe. It is to be able to easily identify the brand new posters.

:confused:

not that i'm opposed to the new rank. but not too long ago, there was a huge thread about how we're not supposed to bash n00bs and that they're supposed to be treated like anyone else.

so i guess i don't follow why to have a special rank so anyone can identify n00bs :confused:

unless it's so we know that they are still in their special "n00b: Handle with Care!" packaging :hihi:

Nah, I think it is so we can welcome them easier. :)

It ties in nicely with the recent spate of military postings. :P
