| >4-5 | Acolyte
| >0-4 | Heretic

!!Suggested Alternatives:

!Reason for suggestions:

__Change from Vector:__ Virian Vector has been used in a huge number of places throughout the BBS and Wiki to refer to all members of the CoV. This would necessitate vast amounts of editing to resolve the namespace clash. The locations refering to Vector as having a reputation 7-8 are smaller.

__Change of order of Adept and Cenobite/Virion:__ Adept is usually regarded as a more senior grade

__Potential replacement of Cenobite with Catechuman:__ Although we have an anchorite, no Virians are currently living in a convent or community.

DavidLucifer: Shouldn't everyone in the system have access to voting?

__Also:__

Virian Vector, all members of the CoV including those who have __not__ joined the reputation system.

DavidLucifer: Perhaps membership in the CoV should be defined as those that have joined [Meridion]?

Congregation, any member of the CoV who is also a member of the reputation system.
