BaZ Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 The voting is now complete for the new ranking/titles, you should all now see that your title has changed. As you progress up the posting ladder it will change further We've also changed the bristlenose/cichlid user groups to basic/regular to save any confusion from having too many fishy names in the side box A big thank you to all those who brought forward their suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Could you post the new titles and the number of posts that are required for each? I would presume that it is the same number as the old titles but newer members may be interested. Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 And spoil the surprise and thrill of reaching a new level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I have also found in some cases, when people KNOW they are getting close to a promotion, they go a bit nuts and post absolute nothingness, deliberately double post, etc. For this reason on an old board I used to mod on, we changed all off topic posts to not count toward anything, and all deleted posts to also remove a counted post. I know it seems petty, and it absolutely is, but watching people race to their next title gets old pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 It's ok Ducksta, we have a "list" for people that do that. They might find they get a custom title that they don't like very much if they start doing that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gswalker Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Agreed, that can get annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Yeah I agree with that mmm post count now upto 170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisandelana Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Just a quick question. My level has changed to "Shelldweller" which does not phase me either way but could you please explain what "Newbie" refers to. Being new to a forum is one thing. Not asking/ posting enough questions on topics that have already been covered by the forum in the past is another. Sorry, i don't mean to sound like a pain the bum. Can someone please clarify this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 It just means you are a Newbie here (new to the forum). Once you get to the next post level your title will change again. The titles increase according to fish size. The next level for you is dwarf cichlid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisandelana Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Andy, Thanks for the quick reponse, however, November 2003 seems like a while ago to me. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 its based on post count, not on how long you have been around. anyone that doesnt post much is counted as being new to posting. not sure what the big deal is though, its a title and means stuff all. i could say LOTS more but will just as my mum always told me to do that when I cant say anything nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I think there should be no title Post count means nothing in most cases.......except some people talk a lot A newbie wouldn,t know who to listen to just by post count! An interesting thread in the catfish forum about putting an albino BN with a normal one . I think three different opinions on the results . Should a newbie listen to the person with the largest post count ? This is not mean,t to upset anyone ,but it is my opinion Or maybe i shouldn,t give my opinion cheers Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roo Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 This is not mean,t to upset anyone ,but it is my opinion Or maybe i shouldn,t give my opinion Tiger, I my view You are far better to have an opinion about everything, than an opinion about nothing.

WAZ Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Kevin - I am with you mate - I don't believe there should be a title either. Opinions are always welcome here, and can often start some interesting debates, so keep voicing your opinions. WAZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Should a newbie listen to the person with the largest post count ? But I would say that wouldn't I I agree whole-heartedly TIger, post counts should be hidden, as I have said in the past, if it proves my point, my count can be reset to 0. Numbers do not speak for knowledge, intelligence or common sense, even if I do talk alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Ducksta..... My reply was not aimed directly at you ! I find some of your replys very informative Mate ..........you should have been one of the moderaters I am very opinionated ,i just hate typing For some reason in recent times a lot of very experienced people have slowed down or stopped replying or posting altogether. I have learn,t a great deal from this forum ,but unfortunatly a lot of debate over the last year or so has been seen as politicaly incorrect, just incase things get out of hand for a while . Maybe too strict for many ! maybe i,m getting sidetracked here just my thoughts........i,m sure these views are shared by many . ps .........i,m afraid i can,t get really excited about what fish name ya's wish to class me as cheers Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 My reply was not aimed directly at you Tiger I didn't think it was, just lending a hand of support from one of the geeks with way too many posts. I find some of your replys very informativeSome? I am very opinionated ,i just hate typing3 words, Voice Recognition Software Ok I'll stop.

BaZ Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Tiger, the titles are just a bit of forum fun. They are not intended as a way to gauge who is reliable or not. We have a bunch of Forum Veterans who have earnt that title from knowing their stuff and sharing their knowledge. Newbies are encouraged to look to them for advice, not to forum chatterboxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
