Just give us custom nameplates already! Instead of having people vote on crap that they want that others might not want. Let us make nameplates and titles to our satisfaction. Jesus Christ, all of the good shit here is based off of whether or not you're in the "inner circle" and everyone votes on your shit because you're popular. For example, Custom nameplates. Which you said can only be used by people at the mythic rank. When the only way to even get there is to be up voted by people. And just because some asshole downvotes you for no reason you can never get to mythic. Everything here is based off of a goddamn popularity contest and whether or not the circle-jerkers like you. Which is not how it should be. Shit, even some of the mods were only voted due to the fact that its a popularity contest. Just let everybody here be able to customize their profile as they see fit. Without having to be at some bullshit rank to even get nice nameplates/custom titles.
Wait, wait, wait.So monitors aren't staff?=/
Read my whole paragraph again. Last time I checked. He doesn't have to add each title to the forum now does he?
He does.
You said the highest rank gets custom titles. I'm not talking about nameplates anymore.
I've recently figured out how to grab the info for custom plates, so that'll be a work in progress soon. But it's not going to be handed out to everyone from the start.Sorry if that pisses you off, but rewards for high rank on forums (and in video games) promotes activity. The Prefixes will be tweaked to make it easier for active members to progress and the other custom stuff will bind to other criteria like posts or a combination of posts and Trust. Custom titles will be only for the high Prefix, but the others (nameplates, user bar color, and post color) will probably be dependent on something else.I'll say that again: custom nameplates won't bind to the top Trust rating. That slot is for custom titles. I don't know what it will bind to, but it'll most likely be a high post count rank.
SpoilerHere's how the custom plate thing is going to be handled. Keep in mind that this has yet to be coded, but in theory it checks out:I'll release a nameplate that'll most likely be called Imposter (since I have a thing for Ditto). It'll be free to anyone and it will function as a regular nameplate to those who don't meet the custom plate requirements. At the same time this plate goes live, a field will appear in your profile for an external image URL to be used for your custom plate.If you have the Imposter plate active and you meet the requirements, your custom plate will be displayed instead of the regular Imposter plate.
There are plenty of active people here that are still on the starting rank. Most of the people with mythic and up are part of the circle jerk.
I don't get why you're so worked up about it.It's not like it's the end of the world if you don't get everything you want.
interesting!I suppose this is in the future?
For good reason. And you don't really have that many posts in comparison to users like SoporificSlash or TBlocks. Like I said, the system will be tweaked to make it easier to progress if you're actively posting, but you will always be at risk of sliding backward. That's just the way this works, and it's the reason there are two measures of how well you post (Trust and post count).
No, but its stupid as shit how everything is a popularity contest. If you're a new member of the community you get treated like shit and don't get access to anything. Since because you're not part of the inner circle you have a 0% chance to ever even be up ores to be able to have more customization options. Not to mention I hate how all of the voting for our moderators was based off of popularity, not by whether or not said user that was nominated has even moderated anything before.
Nvm
>Soporific is a mod. Of course he's going to be more active than me.>TBlocks has been here longer
There isn't anyone above Mythic yet.
Yes Korra, that post means you.
...honestly I think you're just mad because you left a really bad first impression for yourself. I think it's perfectly possible for new members to work their way up, given time. This forum has been around for maybe about a month now, so that's how long it took for current Mythics to get there.

Lol, that joke thread wasn't a "first impression" not to mention thats literally the only thread I made like that. I'm not brand new, I've been in the flood for a year. It's not like I literally just joined a few weeks ago.
Let me just add being neutral and off the radar isn't so bad. I mean would you rather be super popular like Sentra and Comms and have the "DeeJ" title?
But not being able to do certain things unless you're in the circle jerk is bad.
When can I have the green titlebar?
