User Titles

[3afan2K3]

Matt might change the user titles(Scrub-Varsity) to something more exciting. What we need is ideas on what titles you would like to have and how many post you would need to get that title. Just throw out ideas and I'm sure matt will be bale to come up with something.

[HornetMom]

I like the "Fresh Meat" for newcomers.

[crzyjournalist03]

I think moderators should be called something sport-related, like "enforcers" or "referees"

[Ranger Mom]

Ranger Mom -- the Enforcer!!

I love it!!!

We need to think of something more creative then that.

hey, it was my idea and you said matt needed them...your opinion isn't the one that's going to count :p

[3afan2K3]

[HornetMom]

I like 'enforcer'. We could try 'terminator'.

[Old Tiger]

New Comers - Fish
100 Post - Varsity
1000 Post - MVP
Moderaters - UIL?

[jason]

How about over 1000 post All American

[sinton66]

That's good too.;)
Guess we could do a custon after 1,500 or 2,000.

These are just suggestions though, yall feel free to come up with your own.

[vfunk]

missed playoffs 0-25
district runner up 26-50
district champ 51-100
bidistrict champ 101-20
area champ 201-350
state quarterfinalist 351-500
state semifinalist 501- 750
state finalist 751-1500
state champ 1500+

I wouldn't want that on mine, no matter how good they were.

Man....that's PERFECT!!!

[sinton66]

You know, we really should stick "Hall of Famer" in there at around 1500, then custom after 2,000, maybe.

[jason]

i like the idea of the top posters bein able to pick what there's say, as long as its appropriate...i already know what mine would say...

I like it... except, how about instead of All-Star we call that All-District.... that would keep it in line with TX HS Football...

These sound pretty good. I thought maybe "Jock" could be worked in behind rookie and "Letterman" could replace "Starter". I don't like "All-Star",though. Maybe replace it with "All District".

[sinton66]

I agree, All District does sound better.

So, I'll ammend my suggestion to:
0-50 posts Rookie
51-100 posts Practice squad
101-200 posts Jr. Varsity
201-300 posts Letterman
301-500 posts Starter
501-600 posts All-District
601-1000 posts All State
1001-1500 posts All American
1501-2000 posts Hall of Fame
Over 2,000 posts whatever you want to be called as long as it falls within the guidelines of the site.

(Changed the progression rate a bit too.)

[3afan2K3]

From a PM admin sent me

"Custom usertitles probably won't ever be enabled because it'll confuse people."

[onfirebball05mustang]

good ideas alll!
i kinda like referees for the moderators:clap:

[JasperDog94]

66, you've shown us once again that with age comes wisdom...well maybe not in all cases.:p :eek: :D

[jykoy]

So what does all this mean?

This board is gonna be here a long time so I was thinking more long term for titles.
Also referees for moderators sounds like a good idea, but maybe to avoid confusion it should read "Referee-Moderator.":cool:

[JasperDog94]

Good call SintonFan. Spread it out a little bit more.

BTW - Could we just go ahead and call 66 "Grandpa" for his title?:D :D :D

Do yall think maybe there should be an extra ranking for anyone over 5000?

[3afan2K3]

Or 4,000

[crzyjournalist03]

I like the idea we floated around a couple of years ago about possibly having "Hall of Fame" on a nomination basis of some sort in which other posters vote members into the hall of fame.

[AggieJohn]

i had that fleeting thought once

[JasperDog94]

Or we could do like that show "Blind Date" and have a "Hall of Shame".:clap: :D

[crzyjournalist03]

ooo...I can think of a few names for that club!:devil: :thinking: :devil:

[Old Tiger]

SintonFan it looks like the dog on your avatar is having a siezer.

[lepfan]

I would probably be the president of the "offender" club:rolleyes:

But you know I would apologize.....

[ej2525]

I think the tag line for someone who has like 3000+ posts should be something like:
"I have a 3ADL addiction problem"
"I have no life outside 3ADL"
":nerd: "

Just goofing around :thinking:

[fred grunden]

Maybe the tagline for someone with 3000+ posts should be motor mouth.:devil: But seriously, there should be some way to count only football related posts because some folks get in those word games and get a thousand posts without saying anything. If we cannot distinguish between informative football posts and
nonsense posts, then there is no honor to having a large number of posts.

[sinton66]

I don't totally disagree with you Fred, but there are some on here that show a great deal of class no matter what thread they post on, football topic or not. One of the best I can think of right offhand is eye of the tiger. I don't think that man has ever had a negative thing to say about anything or anybody on this board. If ANYBODY deserves a "hall of fame" designation, it's him.

Also, I'd like to point out that custom usertitles shouldn't be confusing as long as #of posts is plainly displayed. If we establish a set number as the pivot for custom title, it will become common knowledge in no time at all. Those of us who are regulars would also be able to instantly answer any questions about it.

[sinton66]

We need more ideas unless everybody already agrees on what we have thus far. Basically, my ammended suggestion. Any others?

[crzyjournalist03]

I'd just like to point out that "absolutely" is still misspelled under my name...

[sinton66]

Just for review, I kinda agree with SintonFan that it should be stretched out a bit, so here is the current plan:

0-100 posts Rookie
101-250 posts Practice squad
251-500 posts Jr. Varsity
501-750 posts Letterman
751-1000 posts Starter
1001-1500 posts All-District
1501-2000 posts All State
2001-3000 posts All American
3001+ posts custom user title

I also like the idea of hall of fame, but I think it might be fun to elect people to that. One or two per year or so.

Any dissention/discussion?

I think rookie should be changed to scrub. That just sounds funnier/worse.

[sinton66]

Nah, I like rookie better.

[Old Tiger]

You live in Magnolia '66? I have a uncle that used to go to school there and he lives in Navasota now. He gots family that lives there.

[AggieJohn]

66 i think that sounds cool..what about the ability to put a pic under your name?

[sinton66]

There is supposed to be a "canned list" of avatars. He had a bunch of different football helmets there for a while, but they've been taken off. I think he is probably looking for some avatars to put on the site. After you get to 1500 posts, you can do a custom avatar like mine.

Actually, I live in Odem, and work in Magnolia. I stay here during the work week. I have my travel trailer up here.

I still think recognition should be because quality, not quantity! Really, why all the hoopla over titles, can't we just enjoy reading loads of great posts without all the stroking crap?

Recognition will be because of quality. It has always been that way. The different usernames at different levels tends to lend a sense of progression though, and that's kinda important too. If you stop and think about it, what does it say about a person that has managed to post 3000 comments without getting himself/herself rommed? There should be at least some form of reputational progression that comes with that. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Jasper, sorry I thought you were kidding me about the "stroking" comment. I meant stroking, as in petting your dog - a pat on the head!
