The admins of this site decided to edit my name some time ago, adding the 'custom title' 'Biggest noob on HLP - And Proud of it'. I cant change this. I'd have to delete this account and make a new one. I could do it easily, but that would be letting them have their fun and win.
I'm not a noob. They've made me the butt-end of their little joke and dont care for my feelings or reputation on this forum. I think its immature and misuse of their authority. It could happen to any of you. Does anyone here at all recall me ever making a 'noob' thread? I've never made a thread about 'FS3' , or any noobish things like that. I've done nothing to deserve this. How would you feel if they did it to you?
Please help me appeal this - tell them that you think what they've done to me is unfair.
-
Would any of you like to be called a n00b , huh ? I certainly wouldn't . Vasudan Commander should go ask other admins for help on this though . And get those two "out of job" .
-
that title has been there for a while hasn't it ? Why all the fuss now ?
-
Doesnt matter if its been there for a while or not. Its whether or not you'd want it an admin to put it on your name.
-
Shouldn't this be in PMs?

It was taken to PM's. Nothing was done. Now im hoping the HLP community can help me by 'petitioning' against this, since ive done nothing to deserve it, and the fact that they could do it to any of you, clearly for no apparent reason.

Things like that. Though, with recent events, I'd say anything you did was a minor annoyance compared to what Taka's done here.
-
Come on people, 'He Who Is Worse Than Cobra' does not get a capitalized first letter since it's not a proper noun. The correct notation is taka or taka****.
Sometimes I don't know if people here actually know their grammar rules (or spelling for that matter, since when is it 'takashi'?)

Don't you think its time you put that to rest and got rid of the title? Besides i wasnt spamming threads. I honestly thought all those threads had decent meaning to them.
But thats a matter of opinion. Whats important here is that you take off this god-forsaken title. Now. Please. Its just not fair !

I'd do it if I could, but I'm not an admin.
-
Well change it to
"The biggest n00b on HLP -- and sick of it!"
Okay, just kidding, I feel your pain. At least SCargo doesn't have any hidden meaning to it.

Should Vasudan Commander wish his custom title removed, then it should be removed. Contact admins to get it done. Why the hell are you complaining here in General Freespace anyway?
This should have been handled by PM. At the very least this thread belongs to Forum Support, as I understand that board is there for a reason.
-
Exactly. If you want to whinge, do it in the proper forum. I doubt it'll do much though - custom titles have always been the domain of the admins and almost never given based on what the individual in question actually wants.
-
You only have yourself to blame. I think I vaguely remember what you got that for, some thread that was obviously intended to be spam before it was locked (may have been about FS3, can't remember). In addition to the sheer quantity of your other threads, that was probably crossing the line.
That being said, it was some time ago and I would be in favor of removing it, although I don't make those decisions.
-
Moved to the correct forum.
-
Vasudan Commander, make an online petition, couldn't hurt.

Strange Thread, it's kind of like hanging a sign saying 'Kick Me' on your own back...

I remember I had some 1337 custom title (quite literally) for like two days, then it got changed to it's present form. But seeing other people titles, I am quite proud of it.
-
ever notice that in the time this thread has been here not a single admin has posted on it?
and if the admins thought VC was being n00by or something, they should at least give him a warning or even specifically tell him why they did it.

This little uproar just makes me agree with your title more. It's a title, I don't really take it seriously, and I doubt anyone else does.
Just get over it dude.
-
These things aren't meant to be taken seriously. Who cares what it says? Oh wait, obviously all of you do...
-
Point there, but you shouldn't bug him if he dislikes it. If it isn't a big problem, then somebody should of fixed it by now and got it over with. That hasn't happened, so now we're here talking about it. Besides, it is a title. A title is a title, and the title "n00b" or anything along that lines gives a first impression on somebody.
-
You guys are acting like HLP people are the only people you're ever going to know :wtf:
-
eh???
-
He's saying that no one outside of HLP will ever see the title, so why worry so much about first impressions?
-
well HLP still gets new members, they might think bad about him.
But, nah, i don't got the motivation to discuss this anymore. Some admin get their arse in here :doubt:
-
What you do if you get a title like that, is you do something to help benefit the community, like join a mod team or something, or donate a lot, so when the newbs inquire about you, you can be like "oh, it's just a title. I'm just a productive member of the community in disguise". Then they would be like "oh. I can't make fun of you for being a noob then, because you contribute, while I don't at all*. I essentially just waste space on HLP's server."
*I do realize that not all new members are like that.
-
This really does seem like a hell of a lot of Drama over a really unimportant thing to be honest.
I seem to recall we actually keep the 'Prima Donna' title in reserve for people who complain about their titles, so consider yourself lucky ;)
Locked: Someone's now changed VC's title, and besides, it's Drama.

I'd just like to quickly address the "where are all the admins" question - since we're not deliberately avoiding this thread.
I have some family matters going on which cropped up incredibly recently - as well as having only returned from Glastonbury around 6am today. Suffice to say I've been incredibly AWOL and that's set to continue till after next weekend.
The other admins are all also fairly busy at the moment with varying things.
Suffice to say - we're not avoiding issues like this - we're simply swamped.
-
Also, sometimes admins choose not to post in the threads they read.
