Sid level should be 30,000. It would give ming something to do between banning newbies

What about "Demigod" between Emperor and Diety and "Ming" at 25,000?

I think Ming should be a moving level based on Ming's postcount than it wuld be a chase for that title, which noone would be able to win as Ming would keep hitting everyone that got close with the PCR rod.

So in the unlikely event of someone catching up they become Ming?

If Ming let somebody catch up and become Ming then Ming would not be Ming.

Based on the large gap between Ming's count and the poster in the #3 position (#2 is Mark so that doesn't count ), to catch up with Ming someone better have a lot of intelligent things to say in which case they deserve it...or they'll repeatedly spam and get PCR'd so they won't catch up anyway.

Apart from that they would need a large ammount of free time to be posting in the on topic forums on.

I'm more interested in what happens when Ming stops being Ming.

Perhaps if someone were to pass Ming, they would gain all the abilities possessed by the current Ming, as well as the username.

In case an Owner is considering adding an additional rank between Emperor and Deity.

That would be New Improved Ming, now even better at removing nasty spam stains. He leaves your forums brighter and whiter.

Due to vBulletin configuration limitations, additional levels of post count status cannot be implemented. The current configurations can be modified, though.

However, as has already been pointed out in this thread, doing so is not reasonably called for at this time.
