User Titles
 

I've had a few questions about the user titles (under your username). Here is how they are set up, and how many posts you need to have to move to the next level. This was the best I could come up with in the 5 minutes I thought about it. :)

If someone wants to propose a new scale of titles to work with these same post count levels, feel free to post up your ideas! :cheers:

i need to get on the ball to get rid of this gafftop crap, but im not sure if sheephead is much better

I'm already a Blue Marlin...........

You bought a premium membership, so you can change your user title in your profile settings. ;)

sweet. did not know that.:)

Not sure of the value of this. I mean you could look at the top right of the header and see the post quantity.

Tagging newbies as a hardhead won't inspire me to post more or continue on site. As a fairly new user, it's intimidating enough to post a report without a limit in the box but ...I'm trying to contribute.

Gafftop isn't much better.

I know it's all in fun but it seems to run counter to encourage new members. Calling 'em out as light users seems to run against the concept of an open and fun site.

I liked the old way better. It was part of the entertainment of the site. Again, I think the post counter title is sort of redundant and frankly, shouldn't be as heavily emphasized.

That's my two cents worth.

Agreed, "Hard Head" may not be the best way to welcome new members. :) Again, I thought it up in literally under 5 minutes. I also thought about using things like "fingerling", etc. Most sites use "Newbie", "Up and Comer", "Pro", etc. Any suggestions are welcome. The post counts are at the top of this thread...feel free to come up with a new scale. There's some SC cash in it for someone who comes up with a better one. ;)

Flounder- 200 post and under

Red-200-400

speck-400-600

tripletail-600-800

spanish mac-800-1000

king mac-1000-1400

red snapper-1400-1800

ling-1800-2200

sail fish-2200-2600

no trash fish

nice job fool

Thats a nice one fool...

Same here. Nice job. No Trash Fish - a good motto in life, too.

Just thinking, I might put the flounder above the speck. They're great eating and tougher to target most of the year. A stuffed saddle blanket is tough to beat . . .

nice names fool but the 200 to move up the first time is a little to high. Got to encourage people to post, but that will just encourage people to

do

this

Feel free to switch them around, just throwing some names out there. Took me 3 minutes to think up.

to get their post count to that level. Just a sugestion. As I sais I do like the names though.

Totally agree cabwiz2 - like asking for class participation - get a lot of bonehead comments just bc its part of the game.

Shad - I sent a PM and noticed that my cash decreased. Am I just going crazy?

mine did too!

That's part of the crazy equation that goes into the credits system. PMs, Classified ads, picture posting (except in the Fishing Reports forum), etc. (actions that don't have a positive effect on the forum) cost you money. Posting (especially reports), referring new members, etc. (actions that have a positive effect) all gain you money. ;)

well do you like the titles?




I can come up with more.


Ex the annoying people be "banana fish" we all know how annoying banana fish are
