Custom titles, what/why/how?
« on: April 01, 2010, 20:24:14 »
I bet everyone has seen them.

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?

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.
Lurk more.

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...

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.
