Titles under usernames? (Resolved)

Akira · Post Post #0 (ISO) » Thu Jan 06, 2011 1:42 am

I've been looking for an explanation around and haven't found it.

So, how do the titles under the usernames work? How do I get custom titles, and when do certain titles appear like "Goon", "Mafia Scum" etc.?

The standard ones appear after you've made a certain amount of posts on site. To get a custom one you need to be an established member of the site for quite a while (I think it's 6 months now - see the title fairy thread in 'Site Ideas') and have done something worthy of nothing, that makes you stand out from the crowd.

Tourist - 0
Townsperson - 1
Goon - 42
Mafia Scum - 100
<anything else> - Awarded by Title Fairy (don't ask for one)

I'll check it out thanks. Don't worry I won't ask anything...yet.

no, don't ask for one ever. They're never given for someone who asks for one.

Ythill was able to avert impending title-death by establishing a personality later.
Although I was kind of partial to e_knits' "Yner".

I'm tempted to suggest a title like "sucks" for people who request titles, but people would probably make joke accounts (i.e. "This Thread") to exploit it.

Too subtle.

Too subtle.

The subtlety is key to reducing the joke account problem.

The last word is rightfully mine here.
