what do the things under your name mean?

[JMWahrer]

such as "Copy Clerk"
"Beat Writer"
"Gone Gonzo"
"Muckraker"
and all the other what dose each mean?

 

[Antidamacus]

titles based on post count

 

[Ken Korda]

It relates to the number of posts you have made

 

[The Iron Ninja]

It's our real life occupations.
The escapist just happens to attract a really large amount of people who are paperboys, Beat Writers, Muckrakers and Copy Clerks.

Me and quite a few others all take turns playing the part of Gonzo in the Muppets (which sucks, as I wanted to play one of those old guys that laugh at everything)

muck raking is a rather horrible job i think

 

[Fronken]

I don't like them.

That's why I try to be on probation most of the time .

Sounds like a solid plan ^^

And yes, they are refering to the post count, think of them as titles which are connected to ones nerdiness level.

Glad someone finally asked... I wasn't gonna do it lol

The closer your post count approaches to >9000 the more it increases.

Not necessarily. It's an essential part of investigative journalism, muckrakers usually expose the crap that nobody else is interested in, such as the mistreatment of old people in care homes, or the state of the NHS hospitals.

Sorry, I'm taking investigative journalism this semester and we learned about muckraking a couple of weeks ago. It's meant as a derogatory term but it's also quite important.

Same here.

We all work for the escapist, don't worry eventually you'll be promoted and get to rake mud around the office (we have a pig pen, we raise them for delicious bacon and comedic situations)

9,001 is a perma ban so be careful not to waste posts.

Any tips for beginners, cause I only managed to get suspended?

And what does the pilot of the plane look like?

That's right.

Gonzo? I'm out there hangin' on the Bang Bus with a box of Trojans, a camera, and some time to kill. Oh yeah. I went there. That's my kind of gonzo.

Jimmy James is his name. (Note: Two names)

No one (besides the mods/staff and possibly the man himself) really know how he got that title.

I would like to assume it was because he was very nice to everyone, so they gave him a custom title.
