I have noticed lately that the suffix field in a profile's name has been taken over by wars that the person participated in, or police officer or 9/11 survivor. Is this allowed, or specifically, what are the rules concerning suffixes? I thought suffixes were for Sr., Jr., III, IV, etc., doctoral or law degrees or perhaps a military designation, but not rank.

Personally i strictly use suffix for the persons actual name, any titles go in the display name. However people use it in many different ways and it is hard to enforce one system across millions of profiles.
