Custom Player Titles (don't really know what they're called)

by **GreecePwns** on Sat Sep 22, 2007 6:00 am

Suggestion Idea: An opportunity to give players the right to give themselves a title other than their username.

Specifics: You can edit this in your profile. I would be a short (maybe 30 max characters) title you can give yourself under your username, and it would show up like the moderator titles would. I've seen this on other forums. Moderators title's could be shown in green, and lack's in orange, like the who's online list to avoid fraud.

Why it is needed: Not really needed, but would be fun to think of your own title.

EDIT 1: Added mod/admin coloring.

No, really? :roll:

He was making this for the average CCer. It would be nice, but I think too many people would get confused with who's mods and stuff as people would abuse it and say they were mods or something.

Could probably have the mods in different colours a la the who's online list.

Check out phpBB 3 ... I recall reading something about the online list, and groups, and colors...or so I think.

I believe they are called titles. I go to a pretty large forum where they are available to the general userbase....they have default titles based on how many posts you have on the forum, but there's a thread in which a poster could ask for a custom title and they change it no prob. The admins and mods have a different username color. The system works great.

If you guys wanted to do something like that, the generic title could be a poster's player rank (Sargeant, Corporal, etc.) but anybody who wanted a different title could request specifically somewhere on the forum. Or it could just be an open editable field in a poster's User CP. Either way, I like the idea, but don't sweat over it or anything. Definitely at the bottom of the list fo things to worry about.

Regarding titles for posts, we've that disabled, and it'll probably stay that way.

i would like this but i hate how people abuse their location, sig, and avatar to place obscene and offensive language in every post

What would you count as "obscene" DiM?

DiM hasn't posted in this topic.

It could be interesting, but I wouldn't waste time programming it. If it comes with the new forum upgrade, good.
