Hey, all. How can I make a custom title for myself?

[General Battuta]

You mean something aside from 'I'd like to learn Vasudan...' ?

Those aren't made, they're handed out by mods.

Um, I meant custom titles like Snail's "Would jump off a cliff too".

[General Battuta]

Yes, those are handed out by mods. Sorry, I was unclear, I meant 'something aside from personal text, i.e. the small text beneath your username rather than the personal text.'

Oh, that's alright then. Thanks for the clarification.

I believe the last person to go around demanding a title got "Kick Me" for his troubles.

So I wouldn't be too quick to want one if I were you. Half of them are a reference to the person making a fool of themselves rather than doing something good.

[Jeff Vader]

Though there are people who work their asses off contributing to FreeSpace and earn serious custom titles. People like Admiral Nelson and IceyJones, for example.

Oh, I know how. Post annoying comments while Karajorma is around. That's bound to either get you banned or get you a horrible custom title. Or both.

[Fineus]

Either way it's not advisable

[Snail]

Yeah. Don't mess with the admins...

That said, some punishments are a bit overdone... Like taka's and woutersmits'.

[karajorma]

Takashi absolutely deserved what was coming to him. He'd been given lots of advice on how to stop being such a n00b and plenty of chances on GW and had mostly ignored it all.

Actually I think yourself, Fubar and ARSPR are the only people to get custom titles out of me. And two of those got them from service to the community. Trashman had one at one point but it was reverted to his older one afterwards.

Annoying Goober is much more likely to result in one. Or a banning.

You evidently never played with takashi online.

[haloboy100]

see? nobody cares about Woutersmits

Just kidding.

Anyways what happened with takashi? was he hacking or something?

But taka was entertaining...

What did he do FF or did he hack? Or was he just being a general ass hole?

Trashman had one at one point but it was reverted to his older one afterwards.

I think Trash's "spews nothing but bullsh*t" was quite funny. But I can understand it being reverted. Who changed it back?

[Polpolion]

    never heard of the movie. sorry.


(uh-oh. im going post-happy  )

IIRC I got my title from that post, among other things. I think I had the 4 latest posts on Hard Light, and I thought that was bad. Ahh, I remember the days when I could only use at least 2 smilies...

Also, Not three days before that it was "some l33t custom title".

I like my titles , bad this one may be...

[Goober5000]

I think I'm the admin who's currently most likely to give out custom titles.  But keep in mind that that works positively as well as negatively. I gave thesizzler his "some l33t custom title" before someone else came along and changed it.

As for woutersmits, his "punishment", if you can call it that, was very lenient.  He was banned for only one day, and even that was simply a voiceless ban that still let him read everything.  I thought it was the best way to get him to stop yammering on and start reading what people were saying to him.

FF, and a lot of it. He used to fire at other players in almost every mission. In one case he actually failed a mission for us by blowing up some friendly ship 10 minutes into it, although I only realized what had happened later.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Noticed I have one now.  Still don't know if it's punishment or a good thing.   

[karajorma]

It's for your continued work in bug hunting for multiplayer.

Apparently he didn't get the hint. I got two more emails from him reporting karajorma this morning.
