how hard and what would be the likelyhood of you guys (well rick i guess) coding in a set of say 20-30 user titles (like you guys have, VIP, Staff Writer, etc) and letting people vote for the one that best suits other people, for example one of the options could be 'insane' and we could all vote that one for Infernal Monkey (read his posts ;P)
just an idea i came up with

The 'PGC Forum User' for everybody is getting a bit stale! Kind of like this breadroll sitting here that was meant to be lunch....

bad idea. all that does is encourage people posting large amounts of crap to hit the minimum.

Very true- maybe the mods could decide who gets to have custom titles based on people's posts, encouraging people to post good rather than a lot.

People would probably still be dumb enough to think that the titles make them cool or something, and unfortunately, would continue posting to raise their count. But I'll think about it.

CaraZy, Informative, Funny, Boring, IT BLOWS, etc.
Kind of like what the mods on /. do..... Then you take those ratings and give titles out based on that. That way if someone votes a ton, but its all stupid, they will end up with a title like "I'm a F*cking Moron". =P

now that i think about it, average number of posts might not be such a good idea, because it could encourage someone posting 30 times in one day after not posting for a month just to get up to one post per day. perhaps mode would work better? anyone here who's mathmatically inclined have a suggestion as to how it could work?

Unless you want to make the minimum 3, then its a great idea.

It's sad to see four word posts like "lol u r g@y" (wow, i didn't think the forums would have a go at me for that, i mean, who isn't happy!
) because the people who post like that do not deserve the high rankings. I'm all for rankings, for the purpose of hierachy or reward, but it does get abused, and I don't want PGC going the way of other forums.If it was my choice, I'd want "Resident Drunk" - a goal of mine ever since joeyjojo started doing it - and I'd wear it with pride!

And the problem with most boards is the constant bitching...Most of the time(key word: MOST), topics here are light-hearted, and not outright flame wars...
Post by: CardBoardBox on November 10, 2003, 08:39:24 AM
well....I still like the idea of if you have been a member for...4 months(just an example) you get a custum title ...or if you are an active member....like on everyday you get one too...it would be a bad idea to do it based on post counts cause that would sorta encourage spamming
