USER TITLES.

Posts

Pages: first 12 next last
Hello, I am here to try to bring a previous discussion that was in another thread to a more proper channel. It's about User Titles; while the feature itself is really small and not a major feature of the site, it does seem underused and underwhelming. I addressed this before, and to recap;

As you know, this is the RMNv3 policy on User Titles;

So what's new? Well in another move of restricting your personal freedoms, user titles can no longer be assigned. Sorry! We want to be able to attach our own personal flavor text for each user. No, we are not going to put immature/penis jokes in there.

What's up with this?

Some members have user titles already. We just dish them out randomly for people. Users are just not allowed to set them themselves.

so far the only one I have noticed is yours and maybe kentona has one? dish them out more often or do it on a request basis.

Why can't we set our own? How are user titles assigned? Why are they so rare? Are you open for suggestions on how to make the feature more interactive or interesting?

This isn't a 'WHY CAN'T WE SET OUR OWN WHINE', but more of a query, and perhaps through this topic something interesting or fun can be suggested.
this is probably a good way of guaging general opinion about this also?

I removed the ability for users to modify their own titles because uh, they don't need to do that. It doesn't make sense for a person to give them self a title. And really, it was never used as a "title" but just flavor text. As the one true ruler of this website, the power is actually only gifted to myself.

It's just a way for myself and other admins to put fun titles on people. Just pretend they don't exist. If you get one some day, cool.
it would make more sense if anyone was actually given one ::)

not that we actually need to make games or post them on this website or post on these forums etc.

Like I said, pretend they don't exist.

I'm not going to take requests on titles either.
I wish it was more of a 'used' thing. I mean, if it's there, it might as well be more prolific and possibly something cool/fun as opposed to being just 'there'.

Are you open to suggestion on the function?
I'M AFRAID I CAN'T DO THAT DAVE

Nope.

This, too.

Still, WIP, I think the channel should still be open in case anyone comes up with an interesting suggestion that you may like. You never know. Worst case scenario is that you don't like any of the suggestions, and best case scenario you do like a suggestion and its implemented, or at least integrated into something else.
I think titles are silly and a waste of time. Most of them are awful anyway and come off cheesy.
Seriously? Whine about something that actually matters please.
I'm not whining at all! I don't care about user titles, I just figured it was worth suggesting. This is a topic to suggest something, not whine or complain about anything. I acknowledge that it's small potatoes.



i mean sorry i thought this was the site feedback forum
