Custom Titles

I know the idea's been discussed before, but it's a good one. Some members of the team that regularly visit the forum (no prizes for guessing who) could give people titles as they see fit, for what they say etc. After seeing Miraje become a 'banned obnoxious spammer' it's a must. Come on, gang!

Yeah, but "titles as they see fit" might make you Resident E-Tard or something.

I think they'll be a bit more fair than that, unless they put Chris in charge of it. :roll: As I said above, someone "down wid da gang" is a better idea.

That might be fun for me and Daniel to do.

You stole this idea from Ruthless.

Chris is in charge.

I had this idea before I'd ever heard of RR, but visiting there yesterday reminded me. And so what? I'll be warning Ms Hermione if you ever visit these shores! :wink:

We'll kick this idea around.

There is one limitation I can think of. I have to add each custom title to a drop down menu. That means if everyone wants/gets their own title, that drop down menu will fill up and become impossible to work with. I'm sure the BB software has built in limits as to how many custom titles you can add. So, we'll have to think of a way keep the number of custom titles to a reasonable number.

Maybe just for the Top Ten Posters, or so?

It's deadly easy, go you to your admin pannel and hit "allow users to specify their own title" radiobox under preferences.

Actually, our version of phpBB doesn't have this feature. In the admin panel, there's a section for ranks. You can create ranks based on # of posts, or "special" ranks (Site admin, Banned Obnoxious Spammer, etc...). We don't have the option to allow users to specify their own. Philip knows a hell of a lot more than I do about phpBB, so I'll see if he knows of an add-in or something that gives us more leverage.
