I notice that underneath each of our names is a short descriptor:
Target Moving Target Running Target Wishing Upon A Star The Ghost in Our Machine Is this upgraded based on time? Number of posts? How annoying we are? And what are all the different levels? |

Anything with "Target" in it has to do with number of posts. If you see something that doesn't have "Target" in it, that person's an admin. I haven't seen anything higher than Running Target. |

Not exact. You'll notice under the title (i.e. Running Target) that there is a Group notice. ONLY people who have the Admin group are admins. Aside from Members, there are (IIRC) Freelancers and Dumpshocked (like me). Feelancers are people who write stuff for Fanpro, and Dumpshocked are just reguar people who gave some money to Dumpshock to help them out. We were generously given cool titles of our choosing. Aside from that, we have no other priviledges. |

I think it's 100 to be a Moving Target, and maybe 1000 for Running Target.

Running Target is definitely 1000.

and I'm pretty certain Moving is 100.
So I wonder how many you need to make before they give up and make you an admin. |

Nothing, that's as far as it goes. Unless you're an admin or donate or something like that.
If you fancy a change I'm sure they'd bump you back down to Target again. |

Fredonian Expatriate. And sadly Running Target is as far as it goes. On the one hand I'd love to see them make it more interesting, but on the other I can see why they wouldn't (can't have post-pumping and soforth). ~J |

Since we can't see our post counts, that's a semi-irrelevant issue. Hmmm, but what would come after running target? Teleporting, acrobatic target? Teleporting, acrobatic, why won't you stand still target?

You can see your postcount. Trick is, you can only see it in a sent private message.
Which, fortunately, is obscure enough to keep people from pumping thus far, it seems. As this is a Shadowrun board, we should avoid teleportation like the plague. ~J |

Another way to indirectly get a post count is to click on someone's handle and then click "find all posts by this member". But then you have to count them.

The old board used to tell you how many posts you had.
Another way to find out is to see when you reach Moving Target or Running Target, then you'll know you have 100 or 1000 respectively. ;) |

Unless I'm mistaken with another board I used to post on, a few incarnations of the forums ago, there were many titles and post count was visible. But that led to retarded behaviour, so I'm happy that titles don't mean anything here. J

A lot of titles isn't necessary, but Fortune has an order of magnitude more posts than I do; that should be worth some differentiation.

You can check your own post count quite easily. Just click on My Controls in the upper right corner of the page.

Because over 10,000 posts is quite a commitment. ~J |

Too bad 9,000 or so of them were sheer post pumping.

It's certainly indicative of... something all right. :)
