This is about the calibers you see under usernames based on the user's number of posts. I'd like to add a few in to break it up a bit more.
There is certainly some that could go in between, and I could just plop some in, but I figure maybe some user suggestions are more fun. So, throw me some suggestions of other calibers to fit in, and where you think they should go (or even perhaps replacements for current ones if there's something else you'd like to see instead)

This is the current lineup:
.177 BB
.22LR
.38 Special
9mm
.40 S&W
.45 ACP
.357 Magnum
.44 Magnum
.223 Rem
6.5 Creedmoor
.308 Win
.338 Win Mag
.450/400 Nitro Ex
.475 A&M Magnum
.577 Tyrannosaur
.700 Nitro Express
.950 JDJ
20×102mm Vulcan

227mm M26 Rocket.

Or at least that's what I'd like to be tagged with.
Its the standard rocket munition for the M270 MLRS.

In all seriousness there are some overlooked cartridges in the list but for some of them it's a question of where to put them. For instance 10mm. 10mm pretty much completely overlaps with .357 MAG so does it go above or below?
Or what about .380? Does that go above or below .38 Special? .38 is problematic since it has such a wide variety of loads. Huge span from a .38 Tracey load to a really hot 158gr defensive load so where do you put it exactly?
I definitely think .32 ACP should come right above .22LR. But then do we add .22 MAG between the two? Also we could pair down some of those obscure elephant gun cartridges and add in tge likes of .338 Lapua and .50 BMG.
Maybe shift the list down a bit to include better known magnums like .300 MAG and 7mm Rem MAG. We absolutely need tge classic 30-06 in there, right above .308. How bout a 30-30 in the middle somewhere? Or 7.62x39? One or the other though. I'd like to see an even mix between military and sporting cartridges. And perhaps replace .223 with 5.56x45 since the most popular rifle for those rounds is the AR15 which is typically marked for 5.56. Maybe .204 Ruger? Where would that go though? It's technically slightly more powerful than .223 innit?

Got to say not a big fan of this actually. Sort of like the haves and the have nots. Exempt non-exempt if you will. How about keeping it simple.... something like patriots and boot lickers lol...

I don't have a problem with it. I think it's good to have something in place that shows how long a member has been with the forums. Just so long as we all realize that forum seniority doesn't really mean anything qualitatively.
They could change my rank to "Veteran Knucklehead" for instance.

Not my forum not my rules. Class system eats at my soul but I digress. Just curious are you a union member? Don't get me wrong always liked you and respected your opinions just trying to frame mindset.

Just want to know if this is a seniority system based on number of posts or awarded by quality of content posted? I get it just something fun to add to forum but seriously think it goes against the grain of what most of us here come here for. My $0.02. I'm out.

ETA I've been admonished by staff for calling out some members of forum but would be more than happy to recommend certain "tags" for them should staff need assistance LMFAO ...

He'll no I'm no Union guy! Never been in a union that did a thing for me other than put opportunities for advancement behind a bullshit seniority wall.
