How about this for a ranking system? Needs some negatives though.
Player
Dealer
Box Man
Floor Man
Shift Boss
Pit Boss
Casino Manager
Ace Rothstein
Eye-In-The-Sky

The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I'm watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all. |

I'm with Dad on using chips as levels. Start out with Dice for the lowest and end up at Paulson's.
Or alternatively, use a deck of cards. Once someone hits it big, he/she is the Ace of Spades, down to a Duece.
Or....
Low Card
High Card
Pair
Two Pair
Trips
Straight
Flush
Full House
Quads
Straight Flush
Royal House |

Yeah, those are pretty lame.
Of course, these need to be pokerchip related, but in the meantime here's some to stimulate the creative juices:
-2000 = Admins, wake up! Why hasn't this clown been banned?
-1000 = can't tell a poker chip from a pringle
0 = jury is still out
20000 = the voice of God
Here's a set of rankings adapted from my college days:
5,000:
Leaps tall buildings in a single bound
Is more powerful than a locomotive
Is faster than a speeding bullet
Walks on water
Gives policy to God
4,000:
Leaps short buildings with a single bound
Is more powerful than a switch engine
Is just as fast as a speeding bullet
Takes a few steps on water
Talks with God
3,000:
Leaps short buildings with a running start and favorable winds
Is almost as powerful as a switch engine
Is faster than a speeding BB
Walks on water in an indoor swimming pool
Talks with God if a special request is honored
2,000:
Barely clears a quonset hut
Loses tug of war with a locomotive
Can fire a speeding bullet
Swims well
Is occasionally addressed by God
1,000:
Makes high marks on the walls when trying to leap tall buildings
Is run over by locomotives
Can sometimes handle a gun without inflicting self-injury
Treads water
0:
Climbs walls continually
Rides the rails
Plays Russian Roulette
Walks on thin ice
Prays alot
-1,000:
Runs into buildings
Recognizes locomotives two out of three times
Is not issued ammunition
Can stay afloat with a life jacket
Talks to walls
-2,000:
Falls over doorstep when trying to enter buildings
Says "Look at the choo-choo"
Wets himself with a water pistol
Plays in mud puddles
Mumbles to himself
TenPercenter:
Lifts buildings and walks under them
Kicks locomotives off the tracks
Catches speeding bullets in his teeth and eats them
Freezes water with a single glance
IS God

I like the cards and chips idea, but it just doesn't denote "reputation" as well as does this idea of people above.
For the negative, how about, Cooler, Fish, (all I can think of).
But even if we used this system, we need full sentences so that we all know what the button "means." Like " user is considered by most to be a player" or " user is not ranked much more than a fish by his peers." |

I agree with above, a chip theme seems the best.
Here's some other suggestions:
-100 Dead Fish
-50 Smelly Fish
0 Fish
+1 Break Even Player
+50 Winning Player
+100 Semi Pro
+500 Pro
+1000 Poker God
-100 Read only
-50 Dumb Ass
0 Newbie
+1 Nice Start, Rookie
+50 Reputable poster
+100 You da man!
+500 It's good to be the King
+1000 All wise and omnipotent
