So I noticed that, due to the number of posts I've made, I'm now considered a posting 'freak'. I don't particularly want to be that guy, and I do understand that the term is meant as tongue in cheek, but would you guys consider changing this label, or at least giving us the option in our profile settings to change it (to something like "Regular poster" maybe)?
In my day job I deal with people with learning difficulties, who regularly receive stigma due to their conditions and have been known to walk down the street and be called 'Freaks' - it seems wrong when part of my day job is helping to combat such things, to then come onto a forum and be called a freak myself
Thanks for your consideration of the suggestion (and I really do get that its tongue in cheek, so if its not something you want to change, then thats absolutely fine.)
