Custom user titles - why can some but not others, specifically me?

[sausage]

:(


So who do I have to.... etc etc etc to get this feature?

[FrozenSoul80]

You have to be here three years and make so many posts, it's written in the rules somewhere. Sorry, pal.

[Vindik8or]

I think it's time for that particularly little narcissism to be laid to rest with all of the others. Why not let them eat cake?

[V²]

You have just given me a ticket to spam the forums!

[Jay]

I agree with Vin, and that makes me a little crazy :p . We're about the fresh start, and it seems to be working for the most part - why not allow this feature as standard and then maybe disable it if someone continually breaches the guidelines?

[Vindik8or]

Jay. Man, sometimes I love you in more than just a platonic internet way. That post makes me all amorous in the loins.

[Jay]

Oh stop it! I'm blushing!

[jawsy]

What about if you've been here for yeurs and then decided that the whole 'fresh start' thing would be even better if you took it literally and started another account?

That's ratshit.

[Azzaman]

It is, I've been here for over 4 years and have made a f-ton of posts, i don't have custom titles...

EDIT: OK upon a revisit to my usercp I now have the feature. I swear it wasn't there before. Powerfully lame title here I come.

[sausage]

Yeah what's all this Wank's of the Round Table bullshit anyway.


Let the people FREE!

[Citizen Erased]

I just found out that I can have one- yeah for me.

[Araenel]

I've always said custom titles should have been available to everyone any time from the get go.

[sausage]

Yay, Araenel and I agree on something.

[AranchineD]

If I can't have my rep I at least want to be able to stroke my ego by saying I have something someone else doesn't

[AranchineD]

But you already can Aran, it's called your virginity HI-OH

[TAT]

I support this cause

[Twisted Conspiracy]

Me too. Three years is a long time...

[Stevorooni]

Man this custom title sure is sweet

[AranchineD]

I don't like mine, it attacks my character and social standing on the forum

[Stevorooni]

You should sell it to the highest bidder

[Watchers]

I had to become a mod just to get a custom title...

[Thraxas]

Well my three years is nearly here, but seeing as my post count got raped back down to 18 or something after the hack, It'll take me another 3 to get to the 3000 posts or whatever it is you need.

[Stevorooni]

I thought they were lowering the number of posts required

[Thraxas]

I can't even find the thing which tells you what you need to get the custom title anyway :confused:

[Ashmaran]

Yeah I guess it got lost when the forums transmogrified. I'll have to write up a new thing about it.

[Slippery]

I have a custom title, I just can't change it.

The key is to get 4 or 5 people to harass Bob about it until he does it to get you to stfu.

[Vindik8or]

Yeah I guess it got lost when the forums transmogrified. I'll have to write up a new thing about it.

Ooooor, just let people have custom titles.

[HiredMan]

Well lah-dee-dah. Harden up nubs and ex cops.

[sausage]

TAT is awesome; it's official.


Also, rather than expend brain cells writing up new racist policy, why don't you just make it available to everyone?

also, lol @ HiredMan

[Stevorooni]

You should make 'sillysausage' the new noob title. He won't have a custom title but he'll BE a custom title.

[Australian Ninja]

Because that would make TOO MUCH SENSE. I'd rather have the option to change it myself, or have no title at all. Being demoted back to Alex Kidd or Sub-Zero is rather insulting.

[TAT]

Well lah-dee-dah. Harden up nubs and ex cops.
Oh dear.

[jawsy]

Can anyone present one good reason why custom titles should be restricted to members of 3 years and with X posts?

[Twisted Conspiracy]

Pride. But that doesn't count, because you asked for good reasons. :p

[sausage]

Hey hey hey I still want my custom user title so what's happening?

Give it to me for the LULZ at least.

[Stevorooni]

Guys guys, we're forgetting the most important thing here:

I have a custom title.

[AranchineD]

Post more you woman.

[sausage]

I'm speshal.

[Stevorooni]

Blackmail one of the admins into moving the forum clock forward 3 years.

I've got dirt on Bob and I'll sell it to the highest bidder

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

3 years does seem like a long time to wait.


Lets make it 5.

[HiredMan]

Hey sausage, check out my scrolling title! :p

[TAT]

Oh dear

[sausage]

I feel like a downtrodden peasant.

[Starscream]

Life is so tough. :P

[sausage]

At least I have Errol's sword to comfort me.

[RunningMild]

I'm sure I mentioned this in another thread with a similar title, but if you're going to get rid of public postcounts, you have to get rid of non-custom titles as well. After all, those titles tell everyone how many posts you've made, which defeats the purpose of not displaying postcounts publicly. ;)

[nintendo]

Are we all allowed scrolling ones? I have the scroll from the old CNNNN site that I wouldn't mind having as mine lol
