How many posts for a custom title?

[KiVan]

Ok guys i want to change thigs about custom title!
less posts to get it ok?

i don't want to set less than 200 because a poster must deserve it

the current goal is 1000 posts.

NOW VOTE!

the change will apply in few days

Well, it's sure look like the new limit will be 200 from what I see on the poll. I just hope it's won't cause too much trouble with spamming. I trust the admins will make the right decision thought.

 

[Neo2x]

Yeah and if we see anybody spamming just ban that person so he'll calm down and realized that spamming is no good.

..............200 post limit - - Too short, poeple would deffinatly spam to get the limit (but not EVERY MEMEBER)

500 posts would be better, people who reach 500 posts are regular visitors to GBAtemp and have realised over time spamming is no good---so the people who reach 500 are the people who deserve the tittle change

But anyways its up ta' you guy'z

I agree that 200 is just too little.

500 should be the limit, but by the look of the poll, it'll be 200.....

Theres a mod that can be installed so that an Admin can revoke a Custom title from a specific member if need be. I THINK it can be found at www.ibresource.com

On the other side of the coin, more people might come to the forums if they reach a custom title - would they rather be a "Generic Star" (for example) on another board or something of their chosing on this one? I know which one I would prefer

 

[phuzzz]

All you reasons for 200 posts do seem plausable, but I'm still gonna say 500, because I'm stubborn and b*tchy like that.

No offense to neocat, but there sure are a lot more people that voted for 1000000 than I thought there would. It's even in second place!

 

[X-Gamer]

Man! Could it be that some people don't want us regular members to have a custom title? Talk about being jealous.

Well, either that or they want to spam like nothing else and earn the title of the greatest spammer in the net with 1000000 posts to prove it.

 

[Inu268]

than the person will be older than kivan

i think 300 is good

200 is just too little.
I say a *minimum* of 500.
I think 1000 would be nice
If everyone has a custom title it wouldn't be as much fun, then 70% of the members would have a title.
I say 1000 then you can brag about something

TJ said this:

500 posts would be better, people who reach 500 posts are regular visitors to GBAtemp and have realised over time spamming is no good---so the people who reach 500 are the people who deserve the tittle change

I was one of these persons, although i didn't spam (not really really

)
But over time i *did* realise something, don't know what but i guess i grew up a little

So i consider what TJ said a good point

 

[Opium]

500 sounds about right, 1000 is a bit much but anything under 500 is to small

 

[Tempest Stormwin]

TJ's arguments are the same as mine, only he put them better.

As for "people might come more if there's custom titles": We've got, as of right NOW, 10359 registered users, and around 300 of them or so are active enough to make it interesting, with about a hundred of those being really active. That's with titles set to 1000.

-Tempest out.-

 

[neocat]

hey i think it should stay in 500 but the crowd wins

 

[Inu268]

neocat is spam master

i'm with 374 posts,400 will be good

 

[Garet]

1000 is ok

 

[AnTi-WaR]

200, any higher would cuase alot of spamming just for custom titles

 

[MaD_mAnIaC]

I voted for 200, cause i don't post much... but at least i don't spam, or post useless posts.
It's indiferent to me, a custom title won't make me happier, but i have to admit that i would like to see "gbatemp maniac" on my title

 

[sigfried]

If a change of limit is a problem, why not adding simply a new title between gbatemp fan and gbatem advance fan ? this new title could be obtaned at 200 or 250 posts and then people will wait easily to 500 for a new title....

Just an idea after all...

 

[alfre]

I think you should be a very special member to change your name, so i voted 1000 but i think 500+ is ok not 200 because then you aren't special enough

when everybody with 200+ gets a costum title then it isn't special anymore

 

[torN]

I voted 200, but I thought about it, and it should be 500. 1000 is too much, not everyone posts here a lot everyday.. I believe that 500 is sufficient.. but it's not up to me.

 

[Koekie]

even if its 500 it would take me a long time to get a custom name... i'm not a real forum guy

edit: when everybody with 200+ gets a costum title then it isn't special anymore --> totally agree to that
