    Newbie?

    Far be it from me to gripe, but...

    I was a lurker here for well over a year before I joined, and that was right at ten years ago, in the Age of Ric. You can call me a lot of derogatory names, but "newbie" isn't one of them. Apparently we are ranking people by number of posts. I have to question any practice which would have labeled ST a baseball savant.

    Hey, I'm a newbie too!
    拖裤子,
    放屁

    Literally means "pulling your pants down to fart" which is a Chinese idiom for "wasted effort." Makes sense to me!

        Don't think we can change the designation above our avatar like on the old site. When you get a certain number of posts, you go to "on the 40-man roster" to "on the 25-man roster" and presumably to "starter", "All-Star", etc.

          Then Newbie should be Rookie or Single A or Draft Pick or whatever. Just sayin'...

          "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
          "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

            Excellent idea. Draft pick, short-season league, low A, A, High A, AA, AAA, 40-man, Rookie, 25-man, starter, all-star, fading veteran, retired, hall of famer

              Well, you could be petty like TopChuckie and put your original join date in your signature.

                      not sure if "fading veteran" would be better than "all-star" lol. Might just want to skip from All-Star to Hall of Famer

                        I probably should be set to AAAA player.
                        It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                            I thought they were going to go in and adjust our post totals to reflect what they were on the old site, which would then adjust our label. Did this change?

                              Jason has been doing it as he has time.
