Why is my name sub-titled 'Cruz Ruby' while others have Cockburn's Ruby and Fonseca Bin 27?

I think Alex has activated a set of parameters in the set-up that allocates a status to each member depending on how many posts they have made.
Presumably the original intention was to allow the existence of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum etc member status, a bit like the idea used by Ebay for power sellers. Alex has given this a Port theme where you start off as cheap ruby and progress up the quality scale as your posts increase.
First one to have
Noval 1931 under their name gets one of your bottles

The more you post, the better your Port. It's going to take a while to get to something decent, even 100 is Supermarket LBV.

You'd rate supermarket LBV above Bin 27?!

We get good supermarket LBV, but LBVs are the next set after the Rubies. I may change it before anybody gets there.
This is a work in progress you know?
And I don't like Bin 27.

Nobody but winos and teenagers like Bin 27.
I don't know if I can stand being even that, much less ruby.
I may have to stay here all night just to build my post count up to something halfway decent like Otima tawny

If we post really. really much, do we get to choose our own port subtitle? I'd like to be a Niepoort Garrafeira.

Great Idea, I'd like to reach Harveys 85 on my Death Bed.
And dont go devaluing my romantic memory of that drink, by saying, 'Oh dont worry thats just a 100 posts title...'

Vintage will come into effect at 1000 posts, I think that is reasonable.
Single Quinta of course.
