I know that most all the members here are helpful, but I think a setup similar to being a senior over at oc-forums would be nice.
Maybe come up with a cool name and an extra ability or soemthing.
If it's a bad idea, I tried.

I like the idea...
we have that here but due to title changes it is harder to spot them....
We do?
VIPs
How would one go about getting a custom title?
I ask in a rather snobbish fashion, if I do say so myself...
I've heard it all, I've seen it all, I've done it all. I just don't remember any of it.

You must ask a forum Administrator or Tech Team Member

But actually, that's where "xtreme member" got it's start.

Smizack ,the point is that those people that had the Xtreme Member title dont post much anymore, we have different tiles now but they only go by post count, which can be spammed anyway so those titlkes to not indicate someone is helpful.

I know what you mean bro, all they have to do is ask first off, then it's up to the admin.
Some of us don't like to ask... *shrugs* With the XS Member thing previously you had to be nominated n' suchlike so i've just sat here quietly fer years postin' away as per usual...
It seems rather odd and shame on JBell for not noticing your contributions to date. :POriginally posted by Marci

my mind reading powers stopped working 2 years ago... I need verbal communication on some medium.
They should not have to ask. It's up to us to notice. Someone like Marci would never ask, while someone who doesn't do half what he does would be quick to ask.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

I'm not saying you didn't notice. I didn't even know we had anything like this going on. My point is that the really helpful peeps are not the kind to ask, they don't do it for that reason.

Really? I can fill you in with a few details. Originally, when traffic on XS was very slow, certain people were given new titles called "XS MEMBER" or something similar, a search through old threads in the VIP section can show this. Their job was to make sure no thread was left unanswered, even if they didnt know the answer their job was to make sure the poster knew that their thread hadnt been ignored and that they would try their best to make sure someone answers it. XS has grown a lot bigger now so the system died out as there were more people to answer threads and it seemed to me from the old threads Ive been through that their main task was to make sure no thread went unnoticed, basically to keep everyone happy.Originally posted by TheDude

Only a few people have custom titles other than mods/admins who can change their title at will. These people have usually asked for a title unless it was gavce anyway for example antipop has "Xtremely slow runner" due to a joke a while back between him and JBELL, I also originally had "Loves the Mouse Cord" due to a long running joke. I must admit, since then I have asked for it to be changed so I suppose im not on the helpful people list, LoL
Doesn't anyone understand what I mean when I say that people like Marci (picking on him today) would not ask for a VIP title? I would not ask either. It would be like asking to be a mod or an admin....it should be earned and awarded for work done above and beyond. IMO anyway. Just the way I feel about it...doesn't mean I'm right....you can agree or disagree as long as you understand what I'm trying to say.

I know what you're saying JB, don't worry... no-one's askin' you to read minds... the rest of the section mods should be doin it... S'just the way it works on most other forums I've been on... I assumed it worked like that here...
Easiest way would be to get the individual section moderators to keep an eye on their own sections and if they notice someone who goes above n' beyond n' suchlike then just to pop a quick nomination thread up in the existing VIP Section (the one that just appeared on the forum index... ta guys.... s'an honor)...
That way, JBELL only has to watch one thread... doesn't hurt to have 2 systems in effect.... one for those that ask, and one for those that just deserve it for their contribution thus far etc...
The Vapor Phase Change section is a killer for demo-ing this one, as you consistently have the same people dealing with most of one type of enquiry, another dealing with another type... in some sections this has been goin' on for years with various people...
It may be an advantage to help keep some of the longtermers hangin around more frequently as there is a bit of a n00b sw00p comin down on XS recently across the board... which can cause some that have been around awhile to get a bit put off... there are a lot of peeps I don't see round here as often as we used to and it always makes me wonder if that's the cause... it's something I've had to watch for on my own forums...
Either way, spankin job as always peeps!
i only been here since august and im not very helpful(i try to be) but im normally the one asking the questions and i do say that almost every post im made has been answered and helpful and the people that answer alot of the time are the same people. they should be reconized, and possibly rewarded
My post was not about you JB.

If you want something - ask. That simple.
Marci is still an "Xtreme Addict" though, not an XIP?
