Smokin 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!

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.

There are "Hardheads" with thousands of posts.

Look at what time I posted my report.......I gave the Mackeral a little thought but I was too tired to figure out something different.

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 . . .

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