Just noticed a bunch of weird quotes next to names in the forums...

"I slice and dice opponents and eat them for dinner" etc.

No complaints, just wondering when they were added...
My guess is that these substitute for "Expert level poster" and the like

For what its worth, I prefer the weird quotes to the "expert" designation

They seem to have replaced the 'beginner poster', 'intermediate poster' etc, so I doubt you can choose your own. Think they have been there a couple of days.

Probably after some confusion about "expert" and "worldclass" posters who said some rubish things from time to time :) And Ben is probably not bored anymore :(

IMO，it's the relationship of problem about quantity and quality.

I think Ben demonstrated that quantity doesn't necessitate a sacrifice in quality.

Do we all like the new designations enough to want to keep them, or switch to the old ones? I prefer new ones, but I always liked words.

I like the new ones, if I post something stupid, nobody will blame the "worldclass poster" anymore :)

Keep them, they are fun. :)
If you can, change them every now and then.
