You know this is one of those times where you could pin a thread...

Oh. Well #1 is definitely the true one.

Nope.

1. I once drank an entire six-pack in an hour.
2. I've talked with someone IRL that worked at Bungie.
3. I have a deep hatred of onions.

I actually don't drink alcohol at all (nor have I chugged a six pack of anything in under an hour). I absolutely loathe onions like a vampire does garlic; it sucks because they're in everything.

I'm hoping all these custom options don't turn the place into a rainbow forum.
If everyone has different bar colours, border colours, text colours and all the rest, this place would be uglier than b.lind ever was.

Hence the unlockable nature of them to try to hold back the #swage that I know some are wanting to unleash.

#2 is lie

I thought it was 2 lies and a truth???

That's not entirely how it works. It doesn't just rely on upvotes and downvotes.

The system is supposed to be designed to give people a little something for remaining active as well as being a good member. Although, I actually believe it's still too easy to reach higher ranks. Mythic should take a pretty long time to get. Hell even Legendary should take a pretty long time to get.

Custom nameplates was an idea Cheat had for the highest ranked members.

The spread for the ratings is actually pretty spot on, but I do agree that the higher ones (Mythic and the yet-to-be revealed rating) should take a while to reach. That'll probably be tweaked.

Why can't we just make our own nameplates and custom titles? The whole mythic thing is based on how popular you are. Since its other people that have to up or downvote you to get to mythic in the first place. I just don't think it's fair.

There are quite a few different "custom" things that can be spread out among several benchmarks. Right now all of them are depending on the last trust rating, but it wouldn't be crazy to let a post-count rank unlock some of that as well.

Here's what I have planned for custom options (a la coup):

• Nameplates
• Custom title
• User bar backgrounds
• User bar borders
• Post text color

Some of those will bind to Trust ratings, others to post count, and maybe even one will go to time online. I understand your want of these things now, to all users upon registration, but having them unlockable promotes activity, which leads to conversation and a not-dead forum.

Alright. :/


But the Galactic Empire nameplate had 6 votes, the most the others had was 5. Why didn't we get that one?

We did? Didn't I put that one down?

EDIT: Here you go:

Galactic Empire, #Swage, The Flood, Civil Disobedience, Deal With It, Le Lenny, >implications, Elements, and Oddball will be the first round of nameplates. So long as I counted correctly...

Keep NSFW content in spoiler tags, please.

If custom nameplates are still going to be allowed for the higher ranks then you might have a shot in the future.
Was that still going to be a thing? I thought I heard Cheat say that a while ago.

Yes, they will be.

And I suppose I can make another poll for the ones that tied for the last slot. It'll be up for 3 hours only.

I'd argue that differing opinions are a whole different beast than naked bigotry, but hey, you're the mod.

I just don't think PSU-style shitposting is appropriate for a forum dedicated to serious discussion.

But then where would we be if we disallowed controversial topics like this one? While I do get the vibe that PSU is deliberately trying to piss people off with her opinions, this is one of those nation-wide news stories that has a lot of people split.

In any case, forcing this person to serve her sentence without treatment seems a bit cruel and unusual, in my opinion.

Galactic Empire, #Swage, The Flood, Civil Disobedience, Deal With It, Le Lenny, >implications, Elements, and Oddball will be the first round of nameplates. So long as I counted correctly...

Cheat pls. I meant this thread as a joke anyway.

Don't worry, I won't.

This is uncalled for.

I would rather die than suffer this fate.

All better?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME.

Nice rank, bro.

don't you dare insult viens choice
you're nothing but a big meanie!


(we're all mod here sounds so fucking retarded)

I changed it, but the nameplate does still look like it says "Mod." At least to me it does...

I honestly have trouble understanding how anyone would enjoy spending time on those forums. The mobile app is alright, but whoever is in charge of the web team needs to get their shit together.
