Please explain?
« on: April 02, 2016, 09:20:49 PM »
Will someone tell me what the text under your name means and how do you come to inherit it? Some are weekend warrior, Guzzi mentor, Guzzi hero or whatever. I haven't looked back to check, but I think mine changed from weekend warrior to Guzzi mentor, I actually don't think I'm either, and there still hasn't been a clear explanation of what the "little yellow squares" are under the poster's name.

"Guzzi Mentor" is your current peer status relative to number of posts.


The yellow squares are unmelted chunks of velveeta not yet tossed into the "sea of cheese".

Titles and Squares assigned based on the numbers of posts.  I think it is explained somewhere in the FAQ Sticky.

It happens without your knowledge or input.

Actually, there are periodic meetings of the Guzzi inner circle. After sacrificing a chicken, they toss the bones of long dead machines. The brujos Luap, Rocker, and Dusty read the pile of con rods, valves, and spark plugs to see who should be advanced in this dark fellowship. Huzo- without your input, you have been chosen. At some point, one of the elders will come to you seeking a favor. I hope you choose wisely.

just for the record, I ate 13 pieces of lasagna, but I didn't swallow. The inner circle isn't anything to be afraid of since it only hurts once.
In time, you will appreciate the little blocks of velveeta.

We had a more complicated rating system earlier, that was based on Aprilla's Parts Distribution system and blue balls, but sadly nobody got any of their swiss cheese slices for months!
