When you reach a certain amount of time on the server and garner enough posts, you are supposed to rank up. Total Tophat is the first. Fancy Fedora is the second. And Brilliant Breezer is the third. Though the requirements are kept secret generally. Also, muh fedora :(
No..... The Fancy Fedora and Brilliant Breezer tags go by posts and time, as does the two tags before them. They have nothing to do with staff positions.
