Ahem.

Hi Rico.  Enjoy your new title.
It seems you asked for it. And custom titles can indeed only be given/taken away by the divine entities known as Administrators. Titan got his one for losing interest into mission design farily quickly. You, apparently, went on and posted a comment on that thread before reading it through.

Nobody who has posted "me wants my custom title changed" has ever gotten their custom title changed. The best way to change a custom title now is to do something useful for the community (like model a HTL Colossus, for example).

p.s. Cliffs are fun.

The more you complain the less likely it will be changed.

Well if someone finds their tital offensive I would expect it changed  :wtf:
Either have it as none or as "Freespace: Firestorm modder"

You think I like being called a cliffhanger? Or Cobra likes being called a perpetual n00b? Or VC being called The biggest n00b on hlp?

If you haven't noticed, Custom Titles aren't happy things; they are evil. Eeeeeevill, I say!

I'm waiting for Goober to comment before I say anythin more. But to be frank that is pushing the code of conduct to the limits  :rolleyes:

Like Snail already said. Complaining gets you nowhere. Moby claimed that his "Rainbow Brite" title was "offensive", and he complained about it a lot. The administrators didn't care since they didn't view it as "offensive" but as something that supported the fact that Mobius's posts had gone through a variety of colours. The battle went on, and eventually... it was changed; to "Rainbow Not-So-Brite".

And what Snail also said already. Do something constructive that benefits the entire community and maybe, just maybe, you'll get a "good" title.

Seriously, my friend, you better quit while you're ahead. I'm sure if you complain any more Goober or someone else who's been having a bad day will decide to do something much worse than give you a bad custom title.

I'll see what he says, but it dont seem to be worth the effort, I thought HLP had mature admins, looks like I was wrong  :wtf:

I laugh at myself all the time, but that's just plain silly  :doubt:

I suggest this whole topic be deleted, its way off topic and out of context, once the admins read the point they can delete the topic and either fix the title or not, see what happens.

It is just a title it will not make anyone disrespect you. This is just a joke that the administrators do to every one who does something stupid.
Do something good and that might 1. Get it removed 2. Get a new title.

Like Snail already said. Complaining gets you nowhere. Moby claimed that his "Rainbow Brite" title was "offensive", and he complained about it a lot. The administrators didn't care since they didn't view it as "offensive" but as something that supported the fact that Mobius's posts had gone through a variety of colours. The battle went on, and eventually... it was changed; to "Rainbow Not-So-Brite".

In addition the post count was set to 0 ("Back where he started").

Someone picks up something you do, not what you do in general, and writes a title based on it. Mine was changed to Rainbow Not-So Brite only because I legitimately complained about a stupid and childish title, not because my colours changed once again.

I'd like to know if what I do for the FSCRP, Inferno and all other minor things are going to remain unknown.

Jealous?

I'd say sick. The interesting thing is that the CT system basically is in Goober's hands, who's not even the head Administrator here. WMCoolmon accused his CTs(plus MANY other things :P) and I can only agree with him.

It's Goober, not the whole Administratorship. I think someone like Kalfireth and IceFire should really try to accept the complains of the community....

Look, Kara fanboy. Even Karajorma himself agreed with Goobah that your self-righteous posturing was reaching critical mass and that if you continued you would be hit hard. And so you did.
