Title: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: StraightFlame on April 01, 2010, 20:24:14
I bet everyone has seen them.
(http://xs.to/image-4A27_4BB4E122.jpg)
What are those for? And why have i so far just seen them on Mods? And how do i get one?

They seem only accessible to Mods, but can i, the average forumer, get a title? And if not, why not? Please answer!

Because only mods/admins can have tiny shards of wisdom as their custom title.
But yeah, it would be cool if the mindless crowd regular forumers got one.

It indeed seems to be something an admin gets. When I still was one, I could change it in my profile. Apparently I cannot anymore.

Hey LPChip? Could you please inform me of just what went down in the "I'm Stepping down..." board? I'm absolutely dumbfounded with the fact that Nifflas himself was banned. Has this happened before?
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: LPChip on April 01, 2010, 20:38:29
No. But I'd say, just read everything. Much more than that (aside from what he actually said) didn't happen. But I'm not going to make public what he said. Its too insulting.

I have to say that I don't think it was ban worthy, but it wasn't right to say it either. But honestly, I don't really care anymore. I don't administrate the forum anymore anyway.

Ah.. I completely understand where you are coming from on this one. Do you have any idea how/when he will be back?

I think he deserves at least a few days. He'll be back when he understands that even his actions have consequences. <_<

Then why do you still have a custom title?

It must be like some online games, where any changes made when you have a subscription stay after you un-subscribe. You just can't change them anymore.
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: StraightFlame on April 02, 2010, 07:36:28
Yep, P-Bot, he's stuck with that title forever.

Or atleast until he is an admin again.

Guess what everyone? APRIL FOOLS! Everything is back to normal. LPChip is back. Nifflas was never really banned. All is well.

Techinally, Nifflas WAS banned, though he could have unbanned himself at any time...
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: LPChip on April 02, 2010, 22:10:53
No. Nifflas never was banned. He weared a label saying so, but since he still was administrator (yes, I was also one but camouflaged it as well) he could still post and moderate and so.

Stupid administrative abilities to not be an admin, but still be an admin, but make it look like you're not. <_<

Even if I completely get my admin rights revoked. As long as the forum is run on my servers, I can do practically anything by altering the database directly. X)

Anyway, i think it would be awsmoe if us boring citizens of the NSF empire could dislay a bit of 'wisdom' up there as well =)

Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?

If possible, LPChip (or any other Mod), i'd like to have the following custom title:
"Forumgame addict
Builder of Straight City"
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: Yukabacera on April 06, 2010, 14:23:56
I know I'll never get one, but I'd like:

Tasen Soldier (LL868:ALDK)

as my custom title.

I'm sorry, but we're not going to set custom titles just because you ask for it.

I've had a brief talk with other staff members and the outcome is that we're not going to change them just because you ask for it.

People who have a custom title now is because they deserve it. These members have done a lot for this community and deserves to have this "special" tag. (this does not include being awesome)

You can always set the personal text with anything you desire (to to a certain length).

Yes, why have a title when you can have a pt? It's no difference. Title is just above avatar and pt is below.
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: StraightFlame on April 08, 2010, 09:21:47
Yeah, but what if i want to keep my PT?

oh LPChip I'm sorry did I get you wrong??

You clearly state that we forum members don't deserve it so either we are just bad people or less worthy. I don't know...   sorry.

You said something to StraightFlame that was not nice at all. I just had to edit it out. I got a bit upset by it too.

You and I both know that wasn't what he meant, Salmon. He meant those with custom titles give a lot to this little community. What have you done to deserve it? I'll even add this: What have I done to deserve it? LPChip has been a mod for a while, banning spammers, working on the new KS Archive, etc. Are you saying HE doesn't deserve it?

It all depends on how you behave, maybe being helpful beyond normal expectations. There isn't a set certain thing which'd coin you one, it's pretty dependent of the situation. Administ- and moderators will decide on it and make sure anyone adequately distinguished get what they deserve.
Asking/begging for one is a certain way to not get one. ;)

As a side-note, I'm annoyed that I don't have a Nobel prize on anything. Lots of other people have 'em too! Thinking they're better. Grumble grumble. <_<

What about... the beta testers of Nifflas' unannounced game?
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: J on April 09, 2010, 21:26:42
What about them?
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?

Beta tester is a usergroup like [banned], administrator, global moderator, and super moderator.
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: StraightFlame on April 09, 2010, 21:53:31
I KNOW the difference between a CT and a Position, ya know. But will they get a custom title after they beta tested the game?
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: Gorfinhofin on April 09, 2010, 22:15:01
They didn't after the KS testing, so I'm going to wager no.
Title: Re: Custom titles, what/why/how?
Post by: LPChip on April 09, 2010, 22:32:59
Betatesting is not something special. Nifflas asks for help, and he gets it. In return, the beta testers get to play a game no one else can play at that time. That alone is a privilege.

So, it aint gonna happen. But your action has to be pretty extraordinary for it to get a title. See the title thingy as "Its the least we can do" kind of thing.

To clarify what I said earlier (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=3042.msg36142#msg36142), I meant having a CT Is a privilege only the mods and people that work behind the scenes have. Kinda like the staff at a concert.
