Forum Tags

[Burning Star IV]

What?: Some forum sites have options on the user CP where a user can give themselves a tag, which appears under their u/n on all of their posts. It is like where the mods have "moderator," but you can change yours freely.

Why?: For the heck of it.

Specifics?: Pretty simple to me...

Not really.

If Burning Star's tag said Moderator, what harm would it do?

so basically, a signature under your name. Which is different than location. Lack really needs to stop focusing on stupid speed games and game colors, and game variations! these Forum tags are more important!!!

I don't even think it's lack, but the forum code that he uses (which he didn't program).

As far as I'm aware, the board software used here does not allow users to input their own ranks. It would have to be set by an admin. The only way it can be done automatically is to give them based on how many posts you have. That would just encourage spamming.
