Subject: What's your title?

Hey! Now you can add your own custom title to your profile. If you set your own custom title, it will override your board rank based on number of posts.

(Your "title" is the text that appears directly below your username, to the left of your posts.)

Gowaan, try it out!

    Well, mine is a title I've wanted for a long time, to reflect the fact that I technically stepped down as mod nearly a year ago, when I went back to school full-time. I wanted to show that I was still involved, but other people were doing the work of modding most of the time. Instead I somehow got promoted to Site Admin. Hmmmmm. :wink:

    I would applaud the use of the feminine agreement, but isn't moderator/moderatoris third declension masculine regardless of the gender of the title-holder?

    Edit: "moderatrix emerita" appears to be correct.

    I was thinking of Moderator as an English word, as in the term "Professor emerita." However, since you have gone to the trouble of declining it for me, I will change it! I spent one year intensively learning Latin and had intensively forgotten it all by a year later, so I'll have to take your word for it.

    I'm just stoked to find out that 'moderatrix' is also a genuine English word, in use since at least the 16th c.
