User Titles - Page 2

200 + posts = Yogiraj

Yogiraj means a Yoga master, it is a title given to an accomplished yogi.

High there

What about creating a karma scale that increases with the number of posts?

Thank you Lars and PatR for your creative title suggestions! We are trying to follow the guideline of Andy's quote above.
Can either of you help with finding the sanskrit words for 50, 200 and the word "plus" ? I was only taught to count to dáśa (10)!

Thanks to you both
Cheers

I found

sanskrit numbers

example (more in the link)

100 shatá
200 dveshate
300 trishatá
400 cátuhshata
500 pañcashata
600 sátshata
700 saptashata
800 astashata
900 navashata
1,000 sahásra or dashashatá

Thanks Hubert! I wonder if we should add the word member after the number? Here is an example:

Shatá Member
Dveshate Member
Trishatá Member
Cátuhshata Member
Pañcashata Member
Sátshata Member
Saptashata Member
Astashata Member
Navashata Member
Sahásra or Member

I like having the work "Member" in English as it gives the readers a slight hint at what those User Titles are but maybe it would be good to have the word "Member" in Sanskrit also?

Also, I like the idea of having User Titles for each hundred posts (up to 1,000). Then above 1,000 we should have one last title (something fun) but that follows our guidelines. Any suggestions?

Going up to 1000 is is great! I think those are the perfect titles! I agree about using "Member" in English. It is a good east-meets-west kind of title.

Hubert: Thank you for find all of those numbers and that site for us!

Cheers
