Member Titles - Questions and Answers

Recommended Posts

I am still fairly new to EB, only having been active for about a year now, and I often see members with tags. You know, those little, colorful icons underneath peoples profile pictures? Well, I've been fortunte enough to earn 1 myself already, but I was wondering, how do I earn more? Is there an index of contests that will allow you to earn a tag?

A second question I have is about the "titles" (not sure if that's the correct name for it) underneath certain people's profile pictures. I've seen it for new members as well as old and I was wondering how those are given out? Does something just stand out to an admin who then gives a user a "title"?

Hello MKJoshA, tags are usually given out after you joined a contest or participated in some sort of event. Titles are given by the staff upon special recognition. Basically if they think you're funny, active, or did something that brought you to their attention, they'll give you a special little title (usually funny) under your avatar. But asking for a title is pretty much like guaranteeing you won't get one, staff likes to hand them out by surprise, and to those who accept them but don't really ask for them. Hope this helped.

Tags are awarded for things like being great at MOCing (the MOCexpert tag), the old timers tag, being active in certain sub-fora (like the Star Wars theme tag) and contests.

Titles are given out at the whim of the staff, and range from acknowledging achievements, to teasing about misspelling, and all sorts of other things. Mines from ZC after a discussion about the geography of Historica, where I backed up kabel. There's a pinned topic in the Community forum with past titles of members, worth checking out.

Regarding tags, please see the pinned thread here. Titles are discussed in the thread which was immediately below this one in the board index ... until I merged it.

Please read carefully before asking!

Okay, so titles are given out by staff, okay. I wish I had a title but I suppose I'm not that important! :snicker:

Just like tags, personalised titles are awarded to chosen members for noteworthy contributions. Please don’t ask for one, they are given at Staff’s discretion.

Ooo, if it works for Behemoth, can I be a copycat and ask very nicely for a title, can I, can I? *puppy dog eyes*

Hmm... I found this thread because it showed up in new content / not read. Not looking for a title at the moment, slowly backing up... LOL

I was wondering if anybody could please tell me how to write a member title. I don't know if i have to be in a certain group (I'm a Citizen right now), or if i have to do something on my profile, or something else. Thank you for your help.

There is a thread about this just a few lines down. I will merge this with that. Please do check the forum before posting, or use the search function, thank you.

Essentially, you cannot write titles, they are given out only by Mods and Admins, at their discretion, and asking for one usually fails.

its from your thread "Talking to much" the word "much" being an adverb and the phrase "talking to" is defined as conversing. :laugh:
