Forum member ranks

I'm trying to come up with some non-offensive ranks to use in a forum. I
have made the graphics for 11 ranks, and have come up with 8 ranks so far.
Are they in the right order (I'm not a native English speaker)?

Newbie
Junior
Regular
Experienced
Enthusiast
Senior
Expert
Veteran

Like others said, too many. But additionally, webmastering covers too large an
area. Does "experienced" mean in HTML? Or do you need to know CSS, also? How
about Flash? PHP? JavaScript? Perl? There are just way too many variables to
get a good rating.

Let's cut it down to three :

Member (most of the folks here)
Spammer (Obvious)
Anal Orifice (those who ask for "advice" then argue why you're wrong)

Besides everyone else's comments, I'd leave out "enthusiast" - it
seems like a term that could mean many different things, including a
newbie who has gotten all excited over the subject and is eager to
learn more, in which case I'd put it adjacent to Junior.

Once upon a time, far far away "Richard" <richard> muttered

In my opinion

Once upon a time, far far away "Richard" <richard> muttered

Or perhaps:

Private
Lance-Corporal
Corporal
Sergeant
Second-Lieutenant
Lieutenant
Captain
Major
Colonel
Brigadier
General

Just an idea...

A brigadier is higher than a colonel?
(Sorry, no brigadier in my memory of the Stratego game)
