Badge of honor alongwith titles would be good. Like csgo.

 

[Ramadhir Singh]

please make post count across forum ( except may be, marketplace section).. Tech discussion in this mobile computing age is not going to be happen like a decade back.

Messages if your post count. (208 right now)

 

[Ramadhir Singh]

i guess, clicking on our username, the pop-up what says "messages" - are the post count.

That can't be. As messages = 208 and I joined 2 years back. According to that, I should be Adept but I am Disciple.

For Adept you need to have more than 300 messages as well.

Sorry, misunderstood. Seems brain has stopped working. Lol.

Oh so these are the new titles. I thought the forum got a new software which changed everything.
Anyway the new title capping is nice but I wish they were more "formal." Commando?? Are we going to a war lol??
Can we get different title colors too?

These have existed for over a decade, only the conditions have been modified. Open to suggestions on titles. Not open to tweaking colors as of now.

 

[iPwnz]

Wow I had no idea.
As for the suggestion I think Veteran should remain imo. I like when its more formal. Since the titles are based on the number of posts and not the quality I think the "Skilled" should be replaced. Same for the Commando (if anyone has actually achieved it lol).

Or to make it more easy to comprehend, we can simply keep it:

• Level 1
• Level 2
• Level 3
• ..

 

[SunnyBoi]

Nah Lets just keep it as-is

another 408 posts and I'll lose my underwear

 

[iPwnz]

What about the "resellers" which your staff have been banning? Will they get a different title? I can see that there's a new "Classifieds" section. Is that only for such members?

 

[Panda]

Time to start spamming.

I am Elite by joining date and Disciple by post count. Lolz...

OT for this thread but I have been wondering for some time. Why am I not able to set my Location in my Profile? Does it get enabled only at a later point or am I blind? Because I have seen it on some user profiles. IMO, this should be displayed above/below the User Title and not hidden, it serves multiple purposes.

Edit: It's style related. @Renegade possible to enable Location (alone, if not the other stats) under the username for the Default style as well?

 

[t3chg33k]

Too bad the badge is based on spamming rather than quality of posts. Probably will not even reach Skilled any time soon considering it has been 13 years now and I don't post if I don't have anything useful to add.

Also, really odd that Premium Classifieds section is again based on this count, rather than market feedback.
