Is There An Explanation of the Titles?

[F4jock]

I've noticed various titles like "Minister of Fire" given to our membership. Some, like that one, seem common, some are not. I've looked, but I can't find any explanation as to how one is given the titles or what they mean. Some, like "Moderator" are self explanatory but the majority are not. Can someone enlighten me?

Relates to how many postings I believe.

Thought so myself but saw little correlation after "Minister."

I wish I know this as well. My ID remains New Member despite being active on the forums for a couple of seasons.

With only 70 postings your not very active. Webfish should be able to tell you how many postings to get past "new member" level. We have to moderate first few posts to weed out spam etc. Can't believe the trash that they try to post.

I wish we could change them ourselves after we've been here so long.

Probably would not stop the spam then as they could just come back after a time and wreak havoc and give the moderators a bigger headache.

I guess I don't understand how a title has anything to do with people spamming. Can you explain?

You should be able to change it in the "Personal Details" when you click on your ID in the up right corner of the page. Most that have discovered that put something stupid in it.

Not sure that you can change it on here.

It is "Custom Title" under Personal Details. Unless it got turned off the last time people started putting their websites and silly stuff in it a few years ago.

I think it is turned off. It doesn't show up.

 

[Wisneaky]

@webfish are the custom titles turned off?

Custom title may have been a customization previously , not available except to admins. Points are awarded for time since registered, posts, likes received....points equal membership level.

Sig line is there for users to customize.

Very good. Thank you.

For what it's worth I just noticed I am "member" now and not "new member" I think it updated at 100 posts.

Gotta admit I was a bit confused about the term 'Minister' when I first came here. I would prefer 'Master of Fire' or Rabbi of Fire, or Priest of Fire or Worshipper of Fire

In truth, my correct title should be 'Troublemaker' or 'Semi-Expert of Fire'

Interesting. Perhaps it would be cool to know what the thresholds are for each teir in the membership hierarchy. I did a quick search on the site but didn't see anything.

Should be God of Fire with like flames coming off it and stuff. But just me.

Next time you cash in your Green Stamps.

No, really. Is there a Hearth.Com store where I can cash in my points and get 'valuable prizes' and all sorts of wonderful deals on pellet related things? MMM?
