Can we change the virginity thing

Like I get you need to post SOMETHING to make sure I'm not a bot but wtf. I know what website I'm on but it's such a weird fucking thing

A) Default titles change as your post count goes up
B) You can set a custom title in your account settings

While this is true, I think the complaint is more that nothing makes it clear that it changes when you go from zero posts to one post. Possibly with a dash of reading the zero-post title as virginity-shaming.

Woosh, thats the sound of the default titles going over their heads…

Spoiler: my opinion and slightly biased explanation, as it's not like I was here when the decision on them was made

0 posts calls you a virgin.
Virginity isn't always about sex, but it makes for a damned good punchline, in the context of the forum it more or less lets people know at a glance you are new, even if you are the equivalent of the 40yo virgin and haven't posted before but have been lurking for a decade.

1 post "Your first time is always over so quickly, isn't it?"
Because you literally made your first post, congrats you popped your cherry the training wheels are off, go have fun.

I like the current system because it either makes people complain and become a source of amusement, or makes them post and pop their cherry, or makes them demonstrate a minimum sanity level to ignoring the very lightest of humorous innuendo needed to coexist in a forum with other people, or makes them actually read the help for how to change their status. All of which I consider desirable outcomes.
