custom rank related status

Hello forum members,
I have seen many members with their own custom statuses, the little bits of text below the stars.
how do you get these custom messages? do you make them yourselves or are they given by mods?

It is pretty rare. You have to do something notable enough that the moderators decide you deserve to be recognized. Or if you give dangerous advice enough times, you will be given the rank "Hazard to Others (Literally)".

Yeah. It is pretty random. And there is no pretense that there is any consistency or fairness.

I thought it was based purely on the amount of posts you had made?

It usually is, but some people have custom ones. It’s mostly for members who’ve been around for a long time, or done something stupid.
