I request an "Author Badge"

Because I want my name to be a special color. :3

But in all seriousness, I think it would be neat. I mean, the modders get one. :O

If they do, hopefully they won't make it so you just join a group and get it. The modder title is meaningless now. :(
Personally I think we should make a petition to kick out all modders made since the group was made public, and then make it if possible, so that only people who are modders can accept other modders.

That way the admins dont get sick of checking people's credentials and it's moderated well enough.

nah, we have plenty of titles already. i don't really think we need to add another.

Because you're not a writer, so it's not important to you.
 
Re: I request an "Author Badge"

If this were the case, should there be Artist Badges too?
 
Re: I request an "Author Badge"

What would you have to do to get the Author Badge? Write fan fiction? Do we not already have a badge for that?

No, there is not.

:lol: this is funny because you know nothing about me. fyi i'm an english major and writing is by no coincidense probably going to be my career.

try not to be so ****y because your doing something on the boards and not all of us think you deserve a title for it. i've been running a sig shop for well over 6 months now and you don't see me begging for a title, so please just sit back and let me respectfully state my opinion.
:)

Never came through :(


That's what she said!

And that is all I can do for now. Maybe I'm able to catch Steve soon and see if I can bring this to his attention... should he not spot it himself.
 
Re: I request an "Author Badge"

Errruhhh no.

See? Not very funny is it?

Though, if there was one, there'd have to some kind of approval. People'll just be writing a crappy story then nagging for the title. You know those people, the people who put "+rep" after their post because they're desperate?
 
Re: I request an "Author Badge"

'Allo! I'll get straight to the point: I reckon that the ranking system has become one major cluster-flip - thanks to me - and needs a good revising and overhaul.

Let's be honest - does anyone really know what all the ranks are for? I know you don't because... I don't. LAWL. Well, I do really, but in my absence a few people have attempted to explain it to other and misinformation has been passed around and it's never really properly been cleared up and all that junk.

I won't list all the groups because most of 'em don't really have need for an explaination but here's the general gist:

Guildmasters: Teh owners; that includes me and DD. Angel got in because she helps me achievement hunt and has bewbs.

Modders: I made it a public group so that members who felt that they're familiar with modding Fable: TLC could simply elect themselves to be a modder. It doesn't take an idiot to know that a ton of people will just enter the group for the pretty badge but we give 'em the benefit of the doubt.

What I have been considering is adding a new non-public group whereby verteran Fable modders - who actually know how to do more than just install Fable Explorer - could be nominated and given their own group. Perhaps Master Modders?

I dunno. Just an idea.

Bards: This group was originally intended to post news on the homepage, not in the forums. However, a lot of people feel that their work is not reaching as large of an audience on the homepage because there aren't as many comments posted and instead post news in the forum. Truth is: projectego.net gets way more hits than the forum. I mean by FARRRRRR.

If any of you visit my Resi Evil webby, you'll know that I abolished the Editor group altogether as I have a new direction I'd like to take the network in. I ran the idea past the editors and all bar one agreed with me that it was a good idea; the one remaining has not been online since before we began discussing the changes.

Contributor: I originally made this group as a sort of tongue-in-cheek way of saying thanks for contributing some very minor art. I've given it to others for posting Fable 2 guides and contributing work.

Members: I love the whole "Hero", "Legendary Hero", "Champion" thing we've got going on.

I also just want to point out their I don't see any real point in having groups for every little thing. I mean, I think a special group for Fable fan fiction writers would be fine - perhaps "Story Tellers"? - but a group for artists would be really pushing it. Unless of course they specialize in Fable related art and we could in some way use it for the site/forum.

That would be ideal but isn't possible without using third party vBulletin mods (if one even exists that could accomplish this).

I like that idea.

Story Tellers sounds good.

I don't see much of a problem with getting a title from posting normal art work, but I see where you're coming from. If the Authors Title gets handed out for writing fan fictions about anything, then what's the harm in getting an artist title for posting art work based on anything? Since it's a Fable related forum, I suppose getting the title for posting Fable related art work seems better.

At the end of the day, it's your boat.

EDIT:
If you do end up making an Artist title, how about "Tattoo Artist"?

I'm not sure how many times I've suggested this over the last four years, but it's certain to be a lot.
