Similar threads periodically appear on this forum with a proposal to add a new rank and I see comments both for and against. Why not hold an official vote on this issue in order to understand and evaluate the demand of the forum members? Perhaps even the administration.

I'm in two minds about adding a new rank. On the one hand, it seems, why is this necessary and what advantages does it give? The current ranking system has been in place for a long time and why change it once again. But on the other hand, bitcointalk has already made changes by adding a merit-system, which, in principle, has taken root and works well. It is unlikely that the new rank will spoil something here. Moreover, judging by the comments, there is still some demand for a new rank, and if this creates a new level for people to achieve, then why not.
