Question Titles under usernames

Are we going to get to costomize the line under out username like over atchasingstanley ? If not, I think it's a pretty neat suggestion.

I think EVERYONE I've seen so far is a senior member... that range is too wide, Senior member needs to be raised to over 500 or even over 1000. I've seen members with like 100 and they say Senior, so what is a Junior? your first post, and then you're a senior member?

did that make sense

Anybody with more than 25 posts has the senior member title.

We will not be allowing custom titles for people. We will however quite possibly change some things around after we get most of the quirks, kinks worked out of this new board.

That is very gay. I vote for at least 500 for Senior member. If you still think that's too high, 100 should be bare minimum. But my personal opinion is 1000.

senior status, or any status really, should be defined by registration date, not by post count, especially now that lounge posts don't affect ones post count. There are those here who very rarely visit and post in forums other than the lounge. With the changes, it's quite possible that a new user today could end up with no posts and yet be a respected and well known contributor to the board having made a hundred posts in the lounge only.

Why not disable post counts entirely and have registration date determine one's 'status'

Some people have had name changes.. I was here back in '99 but it doesn't seem that way on my name.

good point, I never even thought about the reg date. that should have something to do with it too. But now, especially since lounge posts don't count, how many posts you have should be a status decider too, becuase all those new posts are going to be valid points in the technical forums and such (or at least we hope so).

On the other hand, some registered relatively recently & bring alot to the board, i.e. chuck riddeck. That and alot of guys who registered a long time ago dont do anything...

I say... change it to something broad & let jason/frez doll out personal ones as they think of it, or... eh...

let ppl do their own, easier...

Well to discourage post whoring, I think the seniority should be according to the date registered. present-1 month=junior, 1-3 months=regular, 3+=senior, 18+=old fart...

Senior members should have at least 795 posts and been here since December 2000! That's my opinion anyway!

My, being quite selective in the suggestion for Senior Member titles eh? I'm more special than any of you! I'm just a plain old average 'member'

I think 25-100 just gets the 'member' status. But I could be wrong.
