get rid of the postaholic banner? It is truly cringe worthy. If I have the misfortune to be labeled as such I withdraw from actively posting until such time as it wears off. Can’t stop posting is just fine and has no negative connotations imo.

What is the negative connotation?
And addiction to post-it notes?
Because I love post-it notes
(I’m kidding ;) )

I've honestly never thought of it as a negative thing; I only see people bragging about it!

I agree with Saroj.
In fact I see them both negative.

"I can't stop posting" = For that is a maniac person.
Better: "Many posts - Because I love this forum." =That is a positive message.

I only see people bragging about it!
That is why I don't post so many everyday. I don't want them!" :D (and I hate yellow..he he)

I actually found them a little confusing to start with, I could not work out why everyone was saying these things about themselves. Haha, I thought that it was information they had put in on their own profiles. Once I realized they were just something that appeared I started to ignore them as I just find them a little odd to be honest.
I also do not understand why some members don't seem to have anything (eg:- postaholic, vendor) other than their names, join date, message total and location.

Some are awards, some are triggered by activity (time on Avenue, post frequency), and others are from fun events (bingo, etc)

Vendor is of course an approved, active vendor.

So all are earned in some fashion.

That makes a bit more sense to me now @Mizzely. Thanks for the clarification :)
