[Locked] Some new titles in Fakku.

Could we please have a bigger variety of titles besides the usual Elite and Elder.
I was thinking that maybe every 250 posts there will be a title rising your rank and once you get to like 1500 posts you can customize your title to something within the rules.

Here's what I was going for:

< 250 = Fakku newbie(or Recruit)
250 - 499 = Fakker
500 - 749 = Fakku elite
750 - 999 = Fakku lover
1000 - 1249 = Fakku elder
1250 - 1499 = Fakku pimp?(I don't know - I can't think of anything higher than elder)
1500+ = whatever you want

If this Idea was previously brought up and declined then please lock this thread.

[size=10]I like the titles, however I don't think the "pimp" one will work out much. But uh maybe. Good suggestions though. I'll be sure to support your "E-penis" if need be.

Hmm, I wonder if Jacob/the other members of the site will have the time to set up new titles.[/h]

I approve of this idea, Fakku Pimp ftw!

I dunno. Elite at 500 and Elder at 1000 seem pretty solid to me.

On top of that, people with over 1000 posts and 50 rep can edit their title, if I recall correctly, so I don't see the need for more strokes.

I think that actually got removed.

It has been brought up before, it's just that you didn't bother to look.

Only two titles is pretty cheap actually, not that it really matters, but it's always fun to look forward to the next title you're gonna get.

It should've stayed :(

I wonder why....

It would be awesome! Now I want it. :(

it would be interesting for new titles around.

I had considered putting more titles up really, but the fact that some of you simply spam like crazy to get the next title put me off doing so. For example, if I created a new rank for 2000 posts tonight, I can safely say over the next week or so the forums would suffer from uncontrolled spamming.

Notice that post count has absolutely nothing to do with how the FAKKU Staff sees you. None of the users with positions of responsibility in this forum have been recognised because of an insane post count. I myself was promoted to Admin status a year ago with barely over 100 posts, but almost every post I made was intelligent, contributed to the community, and well thought-out. In fact, I can say that quite a few of you with well over 1000 posts are despised by the more senior members of the community for rampant spamming.

I created the Elder rank to encourage posting, and not spamming. Unfortunately, I did not forsee that some of you would make approximately fifty posts a day in order to get the Elder ranking, which makes it lose its originally very special value. Many of the senior members have expressed their dislike for some of you, and us admins are not very pleased with the general deterioration of the quality of posts our forums has been experiencing for the past six months or so.

Until we implement daily posting limits and a nifty temporary ban system to improve the quality of posts in the forums, I will not consider making any more post-count-dependent titles. The idea of letting some of you have custom titles does not sit well with me either, because, again, of what some of you were like during your spamming period. It simply is not fair to those who get to the 1000 post mark in the way you were supposed to. There is a reason why it's called the Elder rank: it's supposed to take a LONG time to get there, not one month.

Think I'm being unreasonable? Well, compare the posts the FAKKU Staff made before they were promoted (mine, for example: https://www.fakku.net/search.php?search_author=Raze&start=765) against yours, which you can find by clicking on "View All Forum Posts" under your profile.

Daily posting limits sounds like a dumb fuckin idea if you ask me, i can just imagine being in a debate, reaching my daily limit, not being able to continue with it and how pissed i would be.

Rather you put up some limit on the spam-heavy sections instead if you're really going through with this idea.

Even IB will be affected by the post limit? I thought quality isn't what was to be expected in incoherent babbling.

I doubt if your posts were well-thought out, and if you considered what it would be like for others to read your posts, that you'd need to "debate" anything, really. There are many ways to continue your debate if you get into one, and PM is one of them, as opposed to making other users read the raging between you and some other user and obscuring posts that are actually good. These are forums, not a chatbox.

In any case, the posting limit won't be too unreasonable. I doubt many of you could make more than 25 constructive, non-trollish posts per day, which is the number I am considering. Also, it should encourage some of you double-posters to use that little edit button.


Probably not.

Thats good, Would the user upload are also be affected? I have stopped uploading for awhile now but im going to start again. I would hate for someone to ask for help on one of my uploads and theres nothing I can do for 24 hours (I assume its 24hours).

Huh? In a debate one well-thought out post will only be countered with another well-thought out post, and so on, so that argument doesn't hold water if you ask me.

Does this limit include the Gamez-section? Where i can easily make over 25 posts a day when i answer question about games i've uploaded, helping people out, or just uploading some new stuff.

Read the whole paragraph before you attack my point. I believe my argument holds well.


You can't be serious. Are you telling me you can actually make twenty-five posts in one day to help people out? Think about it. Twenty-five. Let's say you uploaded ten games, then that gives you about two or three posts per game per day. Far, far more than enough if you ask me. Also, the PM function is there for a reason; use it.

+ Rep for being amusing. Lol I forgot what you said before but it was funny and I said I'd give ya rep later.[/h]

Ive done 8 different uploads aday. So I'll have to limit my uploading as well or does starting a new thread count as a post? Ive never paid attention.

Then you'll have to rephrase it, cuz im not getting your point.
English ain't my native laungage and all that.



Im not gonna say i've ever done it (on this forum that is), cuz i haven't been counting, but 25 posts ain't that much.
Also, You can't rule out that it's never gonna happen, given that the game-section holds like 5 sub-sections.

About the PM suggestion, are you saying that people that have a question about a game is supposed to PM people until he finds someone who knows the answer to what he's looking for?
Instead of just asking in the thread?
