User Titles

[Chief]

Here's another portion where you get to help mold the site. It's time to come up with some user titles/requirements. I could whip this together, but it's more fun to get your input :D

Give me some ideas regarding:
How many levels
Level Names
Requirements

For example:
Rookie (Min 0 posts)
Semi-Pro (Min 500 posts)
Professional (Min 1000 posts)


I know you are a creative bunch out there...let's hear what you've got ;)

[thermal]

he he he......let me think about this hard. :D i'll have my input tomorrow.

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Hmm... I'll have to think about it, but here's a rough idea on the levels.

0
500 (or 250?)
1000
2000
5000
10000 (whoa)

Sound about right? Or maybe have more lower levels for those who don't post as much? 0, 100, 250, 1000...

[Gator]

For User levels I would do this (like everyone else, I have to think about the titles - these are just generic)

Level I: newbies
Level II: min 50 posts (incentive to post to get out of dreaded newbie stage)
Level III: min 500 posts
Level IV: min 1000 posts
Level V: min 2000 posts

Those are my level breakdowns... I'll see what titles I can come up with. What do you guys think about the requirements? I think it is a good idea to have an incentive to get out of newbie stage at a relatively low number... but what do I know...
:rolleyes:

[thermal]

that's pretty good gator....we should squeeze it a little bit like this
0-49=level I
50-99=level II
100-299=level III
300-699=level IV
700-999=level V
1000-1499=pro?
1500-1999=rocket scientist?
2000 and above........?????

something like that. we should come up with "name" level after a thousand posts......

[Big James]

Honestly, I would not do a post count or user titles that are dependant on them. I have seen that lead to pointless whoring on other boards. If you wish to do titles, you should let us pick custom ones.

[adam]

I think we are already allowd to pick custom ones, just click in user cp, options.

2000 posts as the final ultimate title? Most people on sho and ha are waaaay past that number.. in the 5's to 7's..

[Fugitive]

I think I've got it! I have a feeling you'll like this one:

Parked: under 50 posts
1st Gear: min 200 posts
2nd Gear: min 500 posts
3rd Gear: min 700 posts
4th Gear: min 1000 posts
5th Gear: min 2000 posts
Turbo Charged: min 3000 posts
Custom Titles after 5000 posts


Well??? What do you think?

[Addict]

I like Fugitive's idea about the 5000+ and you get a custom title. Why does it have to be turbocharged? I see a little bias towards turbos..... ;)
Then again Like Big James said, it could lead to whoring.

that is SWEET! squeeze 6th gear there somewhere and i'll convince the boss (webmaster)

[2000Pimpinex]

The last one is the best. Don't make it like 1-500 to get out of the rookie stage. That will take forever.

[Chief]

I like the 1st Gear - - - idea and has been swiftly implemented.
Great suggestion!

Come on, tell me it's not cool to be a part of designing a brand spanking new site ;)

Thanks for the input!

Well??? What do you think?
let me revise and give me some inputs......
0-29= parked
30-99= 1st gear
100-299= 2nd gear
300-499= 3rd gear
500-799= 4th gear
800-999= 5th gear
1000-1499= 6th gear
1500-2000= boosted (if we put turbo, SC'd peeps will be offended)
2000-above= post w**re? he he he.....j/k:D. customized

how about that?

[Chief]

I'm pretty close to that (and changed last to Boosted).
Here's the set-up:

Parked (Minimum Posts: 0)
1st Gear (Minimum Posts: 25)
2nd Gear (Minimum Posts: 100)
3rd Gear (Minimum Posts: 300)
4th Gear (Minimum Posts: 600)
5th Gear (Minimum Posts: 1000)
6th Gear (Minimum Posts: 1500)
Boosted (Minimum Posts: 2000)

Custom titles after 3000 posts...
The increments seem to make decent sense this way.

Looks good. Even though us nitrous people(if there are any on this board aside from Big James) are gonna have to deal with being called "Boosted". j/k;)

Go for it.

[Chief]

Consider that greater incentive to get to the 3000 post mark.

:D

[Addict]

I'm tryin....I think I've got a ways to go though.....

.....that's a sign of a good moderator.....:cool:

[Boosted3g]

I like the idea. I cant see nothing wrong with having boosted as a name or under you hood. Sounds good to me

[Big James]

Looks good to me! :D

[2ndGenTeg]

I wish I had seen this earlier! It's probably too lat enow, but, how about going off of Honda trim levels?


0-24- DX
25-99- EX
100-249- RS
250-499- LS
500-999- Si
1000-1499- GSR
1500-1999- Type-S
2000-2499- Type-R
2500+ Custom

The only thing is it might offend some DX owners, but I like it!

I totally agree with this...


But I guess the majority doesnt... ;(

[2000Pimpinex]

For us mods it really don't matter but we have to take in account everyone else. Having them labeled as a dx would really piss me off. I think that it is fine the way it is.

True. Not to bash DXs but I'd be pissed too.

[2000Pimpinex]

I hope noone takes acception to this. THere is nothing wrong with dx's but when you buy a higher trim model then you don't want to be called something thats lower than you actually are. I just wanted to explain myself.
