how many veteran members are there?

well? I only see one?

what qualifies a member as a vet?

yall should bring back various member levels. didnt yall try different ones a while back? yall should look into doing somthgin again.

you could do ones for peoepl with various post counts, time on the board, combos of both (ie someone on here since 99 but with only 20 posts could get a title as a super lurker)

i have no idea if you can set it up that way but it would be cool.

You aren't talkin about someone like me, are ya ?? :lol:

I have actually been on here longer than what my name says. I lost an e-mail account a long time ago and couldn't remember my password at the time. Oh well.......

i've been here for awhile and don't have veteran status. :(

i've made about eleventy posts in the lounge too.

no, your title is registered user.... i have only seen one person with a veteran title.

i think we should make things a bit more interesting and have a variety of titles

Okay, everyone throw their ideas in as far as what the levels of user titles and corresponding post counts should be.

can you answer the questions in the OP?

what data can influence the titles? post count is obvious but what about how long you have been a member, what section the majority of your posts are in etc? does the software support those things playing a part in the titles? can you have a mix of those things. certin time plus xxx posts = this title

let us know what the software can do and we can toss out some ideas.

You guys disabled lounge posts from counting ages ago to discourage post whoring. I figured that's the same reasons dynamic titles were disabled. I'd say unless titles can be linked to how long somebody has been a member and not how many posts they make, then you'd probably be better off just leaving the titles alone.

Congratulations.

This idea is good.

OR

Randomly give people different titles based on their board reputation. :o

Yeah, Threxx is right. With lounge post counts disabled, member titles would be pointless for many people who only post in the lounge. Linking them to how long you've been a member would work, though.... but it would have it's downfalls too. What if someone registered back in 2003, but only posts on the board once a year?

I'd say unless titles can be linked to how long somebody has been a member and not how many posts they make, then you'd probably be better off just leaving the titles alone.Or reputation should be computed from a combination of both. Someone who's been on here a short time and has a ton of helpful posts in the tech sections is, IMO, just as important if not more important than someone who's been here 4+ years and simply posted a bunch of off-topic posts.

Gonna have to agree with Kyle as well.

Yea... those of us who post a lot in the Lounge would mean you couldn't call a low post count/long duration a "Lurker".

I think maybe a combo of current post count (giving automotive tech oriented labels), lounge post count (lounge lizard labels), start date... maybe the number of warnings or ban threats (living on the edge). :D

Could get pretty complicated.

I think it would be hard to judge or filter by Tech topics too. I couldn't tell you how many times I have looked at posts just to see "I agree with ........." or "X 2" or "+1" Does that really count ?
Or, how many times have you see a question in the tech sections NOT actually get the questions answered without the subject straying off topic ? Kinda like when someone asks about their engine and someone else pipes in and writes that they should focus on the trans or rearend instead. That make sense ?

Another thing, does it really make sense to have a title base on time here ? After all isn't that what the "Join date:" is for ? ;)

Also I will be the 1st one to admit that I haven't hepled a whole lot on here, but that dosen't mean that I'm completely absent either. If you could track how many times I have done searches on here, I would probably have more than lots of people have posts.

Just a couple thoughts.


PS. Not complaining about the web-site at all, just discusing the topic at hand.

camaro383tt.......I know what my title says, lol. What I was referring to in my previous post was, well, .......nevermind.

Don't go off post count, but reg date?
What about when you donate money, you can pick your own (approved) title?

:yes: Now that sounds like a good idea ! :yes:

This is some great stuff, guys. We really appreciate the input and thoughts.

Initially, the user titles are based on post count. However, I think there is a way to make it based on more than that. I have to look into it but I believe it to be rather complicated. Until then, if there are any other VBulletin admins here who knows how it is properly done, please PM me.

Based on post count of 10,000 or higher, 17. However, there shouldn't be a member here where the title is visible unless their account was set up for a special occasion. Who do you see has that title?

It's Jordan Musser. :)

Ah, because his account is a special account that we set up in preparation for the racing season. Fixed the user title for now. :)

I think it should be post count AND date joined.

:uhoh: I think that would get real ugly real quick.

Jason would be the only one assigning names... I don't think he'd let it get all that ugly.

I assume he'd accept suggestions, but still...

Yeah, but I'd still be sad one day when I log on to find that I have been crowned "Little Miss Never Has Anything Important To Say" ;)

I don't post like I used to, but I do know "Registered User" does not do us old timers justice. :no:

you need to step back up and post like you used to.

:lol: Ah yes, maybe I should. I've been posting on other boards and forums, even just lurking on some. Here there is a comraderie I have found nowhere else. Times change though, but CZ28 will be my #1 board for all times.
