uddfl Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 LOL And in my opinion, just change the initial status to something neutral and meaningless such as "Registered User". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I use a forum where everybody is a 'registered user' if they're not 'staff' of some description, but when you hit a specific post count you can apply to have it changed to a phrase of your choice - which I think works quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Mac Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I agreee that it is a bit of a jump from 500 to 2000.... there a quite a few "super members" to speak of... Perhaps keep the basic titles you have already and add some more in between, like... maybe Endeavouring Member, or Treasured Poster, I don't know.. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Or, maybe, with the continuation of a theme.. base it on our mascot in the top-right: Minnow 0-9 posts Perch 10-24 posts Carp 25-99 posts Trout 100-499 posts Catfish 500-1999 posts Swordfish 2000-4999 posts Shark 5000 and above Or something along those lines...

Lee Mac Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Can I be a Tigershark then? I'm sure we could accommodate that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like those ... except maybe for 'trout' - that's an insult in most places! btw - where's the salmon?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Nice work! Does anybody else think we need to keep it short and simple though? We'd have people paying too much attention to bumping up post counts if it's too interesting and the next level too easily attainable!

Lee Mac Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Good point,... I think, just shorten the gap between 500-2000..., makes life more interesting without people just posting for the sake of posting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I think that a better way of showing the active status of a forum member, is to have a rating based on the number of posts per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipali Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think that a better way of showing the active status of a forum member, is to have a rating based on the number of posts per day. In that case 'Le MAC' will get the highest rating I guess with average 9.6 posts per day:shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Now what would be clever is whether the post could be categorized as tecnical information or persiflage, and only the technical posts earning status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Persiflage; frivolous bantering talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Or two separate statuses - one "The Tech Support" (for tech-count more than 7 posts per day) and one "The Bantering Ninny" (for chat-count more than 7posts per day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
