I understand how most get their signatures around here and most are the epitome of sarcasm and humor well enjoyed by those who read them. Others; myself included; are marked with 1st-6th gear. What exactly is the meaning behind the gears? I am used to a ranking system so I assume it is a seniority element; Am I correct in this assumption?

Thanks in advance; try not to reply in a manner that is too far off of the polite path. (Most of you moderators here already know how hot-headed I can be from the smallest of misunderstandings)

The "gear" rating system is not a sign of how long you have been on PW, but rather a sign of how many posts you have. If you look at mine, it says "6th gear" this correlates to how many posts I have made. The more posts you make, the higher the "gear" you are "in" the more posts that you have made.

as far as impolite responses go, I give you this advice: "People can only make you as mad as you let them"
