If you look a couple of comments below, there is a comment by another individual who was labouring under the same misunderstanding as you do, and another user already addressed it there; feel free to check it out.

As for the literal translation you mention: Since "High Ranker position" means "position befitting of High Ranker"--seeing as "High Ranker" isn't a position by itself--you may have already realised that this statement doesn't mean YHS refused becoming a High Ranker. Moreover, if you look at the context of where this line comes belongs, you immediatelly see that they are talking about why someone like YHS, a High Ranker, is a mere test admin on 2F and what he's missing out on (i.e., High Ranker can be even a Ruler of a Floor, and yet YHS is mere test admin). Moreover, there has yet to be any suggestion that one can decline to be ranked, so if the rank is within top1%, they are a High Ranker whether they like it or not; the only thing about being a High Ranker one may decline is sobriquet, and YHS apparently didn't decline his.

As for your claims about Korean fan cafe, forums, and communities: I know for a fact that all forums and communities that I know of (and I know a lot) recognise YHS as a High Ranker and interpret the "refused High Ranker position" as we do. I guess you could be right about the Korean fan cafes as I don't frequent those, but--given your record--I'm not entirely convinced that you're right about that one. In fact, there are a couple of power users of this wiki who sometime venture to Korean fan cafes, and yet there has been no correction to the article. - ADD: "You think I'm misunderstanding, someone who read TOG and SIU's blog in Korean multiple times without having to rely on inaccurate translations (And yes, even The Company translations are not perfect)?" Yes, that is precisely what I think, and so far nothing you wrote has convinced me--nor apparently anyone else--that I'm mistaken. In fact, it might actually make your misunderstanding somewhat more surprising, because usually it's only really young people who cannot grasp the concept of "context".

Fortunately, others have taken up the torch in my place, so I'm going to leave it in their capable hands.
