View Full Version : member titles
I just saw the most recent member title for M'tosh and it cracked me up! :lol:
I understand that when you get to 1000 posts you can change your member title - what will happen then? :confused:
I don't think I can trust M'tosh to continue the tradition and provide such opportunities for *surprise and delight*. ;)
I think it'd be funny as shit if they banned him once he got to 999.
I understand that when you get to 1000 posts you can change your member title - what will happen then?What happens after you reach 1000 posts and can change your title? Well, you can change your title, that's what! :p
If people abuse this privilege, though, it will be revoked.
Yeah, but will (and I'm not exactly sure if either of these two are responsible for doing it) LoCash or murbot still drop in the occasional member title to keep the fun alive?
No offense M'tosh when you get to reading these posts. I just find your various member titles amusing to read.
Admins can always change a user's member title. So even if he changed it back to Mr. Smooth, I'd change it back to Messiahtard. And remember... I share because I care. I live to give! In fact, if there is anything, just one single thing, that I have been guilty of... it's caring.... caring TOO much.
I'd change it back to Messiahtard.
:lol: And he'd come back for more....
I took him off my ignore list to see his fall pictures. But that "dog" (poodles are not real dogs) kinda scared me away. We'll see how long it takes before I have to ask vB to filter out his posts again. ;)

i miss the ignore feature. :p
What do you mean, alcimedes? The ignore feature is still available. :confused:
Escher
Mods and admins can't use it because we have to be able to see all the posts, even if they're annoying.
ahhh ... I see ... "with great power comes great responsibility" ;)
Luca - that's more Spiderman than Batman - maybe you should change your profile image. :D
Argh. These chuckleheads keep changing everything. Apparently it's not enough to mess with my user title, they also have to mess with my profile picture.
I'll have something fun in store for you guys before the day is through. But I have class really soon so it'll be a few hours. You just wait.
We all had Slapshot related titles... until the geeks got tired of having an athletic spin on their username, and changed them all.
:lol:
Like, yeah. I just loooove my new username. Thanks boys.
I think we have an unwritten rule about changing our own titles, too (admins/mods I mean).
Oh god, I wonder what mine will be after this post.

Poodles ARE real dogs. It's just that God intended them as bait. You just have to know how to put them to use.

OK, you're right. OTOH, my mutt would disagree. She still thinks that poodles are like squirrels, i.e. lunch. ;)

Sorry to be such a whiney bitch but....is it more than 1000 posts these days, or am I being dim?
Woah, like, massive bump.
Well, a couple of months ago, I reached 1,000 posts, and I was able to change it. (Even though I opted not to.)
Are you sure you can't?
1) Go to the User CP (http://forums.applenova.com/usercp.php).
2) Edit your Profile (http://forums.applenova.com/profile.php?do=editprofile).
3) In "Optional Information - All information will be viewable by other forum members.", you should find "Custom User Title" as the first section, right above "Date of Birth".
4) Type a title in.
5) Make sure "Reset" is not checked (just mentioning it since someone made this mistake)
6) Submit.
Nope....not there. Straight to DOB.
Looks like I'm stuck being Registered.
It's all Brad's fault, I'm telling you.
Ah, yes. Yet another "crack" shows....
Thanks for bumping this thread ... I still :lol: at LoCash's post ... and believe me, I need the laughs these days.

It took a while after I hit 1000 for the option to show up. But I ended up sticking with the one I got when the forums first started up.

Yeah, there's an automated script that will run to update your status. Wait a day or two. If it's still not working, let me know.
Bryson, InactionMan, et al,
This is a known issue. You were both automatically added to the "custom titles" group immediately as you entered your 1000th post. However, you need to temporarily disable your membership to other optional usergroups in order for the "custom titles" modification to take precedence. After changing your title, you can switch back on the optional usergroups.
Cheers,
Brad
And then wait a couple of days? Still not there.
No biggie, just wondered. I had a good one, too, but I've forgotten it.
Sweet. Now I need to recall what it was.
Many thanks. I'll turn whiney bitch mode off now.
All for THAT? Daaaaaaaammnnn.
:p :p :p
I think it's time to increase the necessary post count to 2000. ;)

Maybe the promotions cycle hasn't run yet. It only runs periodically. Give it another day.
Actually, it should run right about now... *kicks server*
Ah, now I remember. It's:
+ positive reputation
+ 1000 posts
+ one year membership
That's why your account hasn't rolled over. The "one year" bit was to stave back postwhoring.

To be fair, I'm not the only staff member who can set titles. I don't even know where the original "whiner" one came from or some of the others you have so kindly attributed to me. :)

Actually I think it's much more funny when you don't decide your own title but have the overlords do it for you. That means you are special to them.

So I just looked at my profile and saw I had hit 1,000. I've been a member over a year, and have a positive reputation (No reds that I can see, I'm not sure what clear is). My default title changed to Veteran Member, but I don't have an option to change it. Am I missing it somewhere in User CP?
I'm seeing that the option is enabled for your account.
You change the title on the Edit Profile (http://forums.applenova.com/profile.php?do=editprofile) page under "Optional Information" and "Custom User Title".

I'd use Shiira but the sidebar is a joke. :(
Speed and a half-implemented "me too" feature do not make a better browser in my eyes. This isn't really the place for a browser battle, though. My previous comment was meant in jest.

Yeah what about clear dot ? I got one. (right after a negative one on the same post :( )
Like a got only 5 reputation points : 3 positive, 1 negative and one clear... Finally, I suck.
**you could change my title if you want. Like Frenchy Blinded Bitch or something. (ok ok I not pushing the blind thing again...)
A clear dot means that the person who gave you a rep point did not have enough rep points of their own at the time to have an effect.

It's anonymous if you have fewer than 1,000 posts. Once you pass that threshold, you see the names.
I think it is actually 1000 posts and be here for a year because I can't see who gives me reputation points and I have over 1000 posts but I haven't been here a year yet.

and so it was said when all the little ones found their way to their seats by the fire that old man murbot began to regale them with stories of the bygone era of the internet and a wee poster by the name of windowsrookie who took it upon himself to consume the vindictive rage of an entire message board. the children stared intently into the fire as murbot brought to life his forgotten adulthood and the flames covering the wood took on the shape of young men and a woman or two in clothes of that forgotten era sitting at terminals laughing their asses off at the exploits of young windowsrookie...

It's anonymous if you have fewer than 1,000 posts. Once you pass that threshold, you see the names.
Or, if you were one of the special people (ie: me) that could magically see who gave you rep points for the first 8 months, only to have that ability mysteriously revoked. Now I can't see them. Just a few more weeks... :)
I was able to see them for a while too and then it mysteriously disappeared for me too. I will have to wait till February to see them again!

This doesn't really deserve it's own thread, so I'm throwing it here. What the heck does this mean:
Your date of birth and age are displayed in several places on the forum. Only the administrator will have access to your date of birth should you choose to hide it via the privacy option below.
Please contact the Administrator if your date of birth has changed.
Am I missing something? Or is this the product of some really, really dry humor? Because if I can change my date of birth, I choose today!
