Custom Titles (aka Tags)

Post by Gedd »

As of this morning we've decided to enable custom titles for everybody, regardless of post counts or joined on date. A couple of notes:

1) Custom titles are held to the same standard as signatures, avatars, and screen names. That means no obscenities or profanity, and of course nothing else which would violate the rules in place for posts (no racial slurs, flames, etc.). Violators will have their tag edited or deleted.

2) No HTML or BB Code. If you want HTML in your tag (like a link or bold/italics), PM an admin and they can set it up for you.

3) Please do not use excessively long tags. If your tag is getting close to the 150 character limit, consider moving it to your signature which is better suited for such things.

4) You can setup your custom title in the user control panel (the profile link at the top of each page). If you have any difficulties with the system, please post about it here and I'll check it out.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here or PM a admin/mod.

Also, it should be mentioned that any tags that cause problems with the system will be edited - so no 150-character words to mess with the widths, please.

Shouldn't you have waited til after you'd surpassed my post count before doing that? Now all you've done is deprived yourself of the opportunity to gloat...

Oh, and there's a problem with that. You can have either the forums, or the bushes. Not both. I'm taking one of them. And honestly, I might just let you have the forums. ;)

Post counts are so overrated.

Well, maybe. But it's not like you can claim that your's have enough quality to make up the difference...

If it makes you feel any better, Eel, I haven't had the time to post much recently, either. My PPD count is dropping drastically from its comfortable 20...

Maybe I should go on a padding spree to get it back up?

Just kidding.
