Perhaps banners do not mean much to fellow established ETO members, but I get the impression that outsiders who read ETO and new/inexperienced members who post questions are influenced by the number of likes, number of posts, well-known Member etc. I read ETO on and off for years, especially when trying to sort an electronics problem, before becoming a member, and that was how I viewed the ratings: Super Moderator, especially, was highly impressive.
I could suggest a few other categories too: most bellicose, most reactionary, most self-effacing, most illogical, most funny...
