According to the user list you have, in fact, been Rangerized!

The instructions in the training threads ask that trainees delete their threads when they are done. That pretty much gets rid of the evidence. If all of the practice threads started were left in place the place would become cluttered very fast, I suppose. Perhaps practice threads should be left in place in the test forum until someone has verified that the exercises have been done?

If someone just posted "I've done that" without leaving actual traces, there's no way to know if they really did the exercise, so the Ranger would also have to ask them to do it again and leave traces this time.
Really though, I think the honor system is fine for this sort of thing. I would never attempt to do anything here on the real board without having thoroughly familiarized myself with the procedure on the practice board first. I assume others would do the same. But perhaps I am just too trusting. Who knows?
