CapTalk Titles

[RogueLeader]

How about the following titles, and at what post count they take affect.
0= Lurker
1= Newbie
25= Member
75= Regular
125= Forum Regular
250= Regular Contributer
450= Seasoned Contributer
900= Lightly Salted & Seasoned Contributer
1300= Salty & Seasoned Contributer
1700= Extra Salty & Seasoned Contributer
2200+= WTMTOH

I know some are the same, but I figured "Why Not"




BTW, WTMTOH stands for Way Too Much Time On Hands 

[IceNine]

great but you should be more 1337 and use n00b instead of newbie

[MIKE]

A n00b is not the same as a newbie.  You can have 2,000 posts and be a n00b.

[RogueLeader]

great but you should be more 1337 and use n00b instead of newbie

being a Nebraskan, I prefer Nebbie, instead of newbie.

[mikeylikey]

Lets fit in in.....Toasty, Extra Toasty and Burnt!

[RogueLeader]

Replace:
2000 with Toasty

Add:

2350: Extra Toasty
2700: Extra Dark Toast
3000: Burnt to Hades Lvl 1
3200: Burnt to Hades LvL 2
3400: Burnt to Hades Lvl 3
3600: Burnt to Hades Lvl 4
3800: Burnt to Hades Lvl 5

I got me a special title, because the CAP Talk co-admin and I were cadets together.

[shorning]

Pffftttt....who needs a title.  Personally, I don't care what you're called.  I want to see you perform!

[ColonelJack]

Well, I think, when I hit 500 posts, my title ought to be ...

"Tsar of all the Russias."

Why not?  Nobody else is using it!

Jack

[RiverAux]

I think whoever has the highest number of total posts should have the title "Top Dog".  Of course I'm number two on the list behind DNALL, and since he is on hiatus, I expect to catch up in a few months  :angel:

[Stonewall]

I think once someone has 100 posts, the BTDTs have enough on the guy/gal to come up with a nickname.  Make it an invidual thing.  And no one gets to pick their own name, that's how it's done in the real world.

[RogueLeader]

^ Just how would you set up the process for it?  Theres quite a few of us, and only a few of them.  Plus they are very busy people as it is.  This way, there is a simple, one time change, that takes into account of how long CapTalk has been around, and how long we would like it to stay.  I agree that your suggestion is a very appealing idea, but I don't think that it is very realistic.  I'd have to leave that determination to the mods and Admins.

[Stonewall]

Well, not everyone could or would be done at once.  Just because someone has 100 posts doesn't mean they automatically get a "nickname".  It comes with time, maybe even a year.  But the real regulars, guys like you, floridacyclist, shorning, tedda, slim, mikelikey, and the folks that are on here regularly, they can be the voters.  Or maybe make it a rule, you have to have more than 500 posts to put your $.02 in for nicknames.

I know, it's a tideous task, and probably not realistic.  I just took my nightly drugs and I'm fading fasstssttt.........

[MIKE]

Stonewall already has his... it's UK or Ultimate Kirt.

[docspur]

Я буду студентом, и быть наученным.

I will be student, and to be taught?

hmmm...

[mikeylikey]

Well informally people refer to me as an A-Hole.  I don't mind, but would rather have AWESOME.  As in "that Mike guy is pretty Awesome for an A-Hole".

[ColonelJack]

Я буду студентом, и быть наученным.

I will be student, and to be taught?

hmmm...

Well, it's supposed to be, "I am a student and need to be taught," but it never seems to come out that way.  My Russian is very, very rusty, and the translation programs don't help much.

Sigh.

Jack

[docspur]

<chuckle> Translating does that sometimes.  If someone in Russia saw that they would probably say it the way you meant it whereas I read it literally trying to use Bulgarian cyrillic.  Same goes with my spanish sometimes.

Learn something all the time. (Я выучил что-то новое)

[addo1]

Pffftttt....who needs a title.  Personally, I don't care what you're called.  I want to see you perform!

                  I agree; a person is judged by their performance, not by their title.  Some low title people may be the hardest worker, while some top person may be slothful....

[RogueLeader]

So, mods & Admin, what do you think?

[MIKE]

I sent my suggestion to Kieloch a while ago.   

[RogueLeader]

To ignore disregard it, I would imagine. . . . .
Is there anything wrong with them, other than the "Burnt to Hades"?

[Fifinella]

Yeah, according to Dante, there are 9 circles of Hell. 

[RogueLeader]

But only 5 levels of PD. . .

Yeah, according to Dante, there are 9 circles of Hell. 

I thought of that, but I figured since this is CAPTalk, which is about CAP; I thought we should go with a CAP theme.

[docspur]

CAP Theme?

Ok, "9 Wings of Hell"

[ZigZag911]

I've always been partial to "Grand Pubah"!

"High Commissioner" has a nice ring to it, too!

Grand Pubah?  Can we change our name to the Royal Order of Water Buffalo?  I've always like that Hat that Fred and Barney always wore.

[jimmydeanno]

Supreme Allied Commander of the World's CAPs

Supreme Allied Commander of the World's CAPs

That's next.  First lets get all our eggs here in order.

[pixelwonk]

egg orderer recruit
egg orderer
egg orderer 1st Class
Senior Egg orderer
Master Egg Orderer
Supreme Allied Egg Orderer

 

You guys just don't like being seasoned, do you?

[RogueLeader]

Bump.

Are there any ways that you- the mods- will up the titles, or add more?

[mikeylikey]

^ Ya seriously, after 2,000 posts, I just realized I spend way too much time here.  So perhaps 1500 posts will get the title "needs a vacation", and 2000 posts gets "needs a life".

Be careful what you wish for.

Thank you.

You all and your silly titles.

Surely, SURELY, there is something more important to do with the time?

Of course there is.

Ha, you're just as guilty for posting in this thread.

Nah, I've never asked for titles that I can get once I get a million posts, just so I can post that much to get the title.

Posting is for actual commentary, not to increase a little number. I've never really seen the point of a title outside that regarding position, but YMMV...

Most would fill out a radio discrepency. In this case, I'll let it slide

The real reason that I was asking is because of the number of people, and the number of people that have reached 500 posts.  I thought it might be an "incentive"- for the lack of a better word to my mind.

"Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter"

My point in my first comment is that you don't really want an incentive to have 500 posts. That's silly. Then you'll end up with "word association-like" threads, and people posting nonsense just to increase a post count.

The number of posts does not tell anything about the quality of the posts or the poster. A high post count just means that:

A) The person has been on the forums for a long time.
B) The person spent a week posting like a madman.
C) The person posted low quality posts like, "Yeah, what he said" or "No, that's wrong" just to get to the number.

Any way you look at it, the title doesn't really mean that much. I was just mentioning that if posters want respect, than post like someone who knows what he or she is talking about. Ensure that the "incentive" doesn't reward dumb posts, but rather quality posts that actually benefit the community.

I think you're worried about the wrong thing here.  First, I don't think there are boat loads of people on here trying to figure out how to increase their post count.  However, if there are, you can do a few things about it.  Don't participate in their frivolous threads.  Ignore it, period.  Or realize that having some sort of forum title isn't an incentive in the least, but rather anecdotal means to label someone in a friendly manner as someone with time on their hands to post on CAP Talk.  Is it really that big of a deal?  No.

I agree with UK.



Ops I think I may have just added to my count....by bad
