Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen...in no way, shape or form was their any disrespect intended. The titles actually say Non-NCO "MEMBER" and not Non-NCO "MARINE". Rank and status is not important here. It does not matter if you were a Private or if you were the Commandant. If you stood on those yellow footprints and walked that parade deck then this is a home for you. The idea of getting promoted when you reach a certain number of posts is an incentive for people to open up and express their thoughts and to muster with other Marines. However I do understand how some may take offense. With that said I am all ears for any suggestions you may have for "User Titles". You can PM or Email me. Currently you get promoted at 30, 75, 125, 200 and 300 posts. I will be posting a FAQ about user titles once we get this squared away.
As for the moderators...yes there are more moderators than we had before. However these moderators can concentrate on 1 or 2 specific forums whereas our moderators before had to go through each forum. In addition I tried to place moderators within a forum that have something to offer to that particular forum. Many people on this website have much to offer. That is what this website is about, Marines helping Marines.
Semper Fi,
