Don't worry, we've dealt with it. I was misled, and those who have been around longer than me and in on the BDW inside joke have been very understanding.
Please be aware of the following BM milestones and membership grades:
Under 1,000 posts = rag.
1,000 to 5,000 = on probation, still under suspicion.
5,000 to 10,000 = established member of the forum.
10,000 to 20,000 = big swinging dick.
Over 20,000 = Billy No Mates, FOC, false ITK, mod or all of the above.
Post rate under 2,000 a year = voyeuristic lurking troll.
