I think that is a wee bit high-falutin', really. People are unique with or without badges, and they already have sigs,ava's and locations if they have doubts about that
But if folk want it they should have it unless it can be shown to be harmful. Is there any argument against it? |

| | | Yeah, it was a bit much, but still, my point was made to say the least. |

| | | When you post, the things you say decide whether or not you are as unique as you like to think you are.
I won't recognize you by your title or signature, but, like most people here, by your avatar and name. It is up to the reader to determine what kind of person you are.
Many -if not all- signatures can be interpreted in a multitude of ways and are very often not telling much about the person. By reading one's posts, you get an impression of what the person is like and you might be able to interpret his/her signature in a certain way. At the same time, you attach the impressions you have to his/her name/avatar and you shape a virtual personality for that member, which is important in communication, because it enables you to expect certain things the person says and you get a better and faster understanding of the thoughts of the person.
So any uniqueness, diversity and meaning comes from the (variable) content of the posts and those values are connected to the steady factor: the shell.
If your title is very unique but your posts are dull, you're just misleading me. If your title is dull and your posts are unique, you gain credibility and some form of 'respect', whatever that might yield, but it's the best you can do here in SYM, because you won't get money for posting.
If you want diversity in your shell, there's enough customizables in the form of a signature, ava and location. Mustn't it end somewhere?  |

| | I think that you would have to work for it... I'm thinking 500 or 1000 posts...
Then shows you are a veteran  |

| | | if you'd ned 1000 posts or even 500 i wouldn't be able to get one.. think about the guy that started this petition.
maybe they would have to be pre-approved by admin or a mod?

| | | i think it would even be cool if your title chaged depemding on where you post most. eg:
SYM: SYMian.
RPG Threads: ?????? (any suggestions?)
Tech Support: Tech Dept.
etc..

| | | @PK - you are 27 posts short of 500. I'm only on 560 or something.
It's sort of like after 50 posts there is no 'upgrade'. (except mods - how do you get that?) and 100 is probs too low...
I see Fiona's point - people are less likely to trust advice on the KotOR forums if your title says 'Nerevarine' or 'SYMian'...
Meh... We'll see what Buck says. |

| | | Buck speaks not to his minions, as a proper master should, unless they misbehave. (the latter I know nothing about, ofcourse.) |

| | I'd like the ability to change my title - I selected it over two years ago based on a NWN Persistent world I used to play on - its not applicable now and I can't change it...
