Title: User titles
Post by: Shrike on January 08, 2003, 06:56:48 am: Stop whining about wanting new ones, especially when they're campaign-related.

Next time I see someone whining about their user title they'll get it set to 'member'.

Post by: Goober5000 on January 08, 2003, 07:40:17 pm: :confused:

I doubt that term is racist. I think the phrase just means that someone is criticizing something that they in fact are guilty of - analagous (more or less) to "physician, heal thyself". Stealth called KT a spammer, and 01010 suggested that Stealth himself was a spammer.

And I also have a hunch that Stealth's reply was less than serious. ;)

It his way of posting in a thread that he would in no other way have any reason to say anything. The whole thing is kinda ironic..

Post by: Setekh on January 09, 2003, 03:23:51 am: Guys, something you have to get clear (for some of you will be a reminder, but for others this may be new).

You do not ask for titles. At all. Titles at HLP have always been a gift from the admins to the forum members. We give them based on the person you are and what distinguishes you from others.

CP is the perfect example (he'll love this). He did not ask for his title. He did not even expect his title. But his title fits his personality... he loves his maths. :D

For the record, we did for a short time try letting people decide their own titles. But everyone (forum members, I mean) quickly realised that the titles became meaningless once they no longer had to earn them. So please, be satisfied with this system, and don't make it a chore. :nod:

Gently as in softly-careingly gently, or shotgun-therapy gently?

I got my first title when i first got hosted, i remember i thought getting a "custom title" meant you could change it when you want, and an admin just 'enabled' it on your username account. So whoever first gave me a title (which i begged for) they (the admin) just put "Get Stealthy!" as the title, and i never asked for more. I don't know where it came from or anything, but anyway ;)
