    I did the same thing Finchy, just reply to any and every thread even if you added something already addressed or unhelpful.

    I don't think he's ever going to make it. His last post was 4 days ago, and prior to that he was posting pretty often. Plus what kind of newb asks 'how the hell'? when discussing 'rank' on a forum.

    Um... Mr. God of Mana, I think something's a bit iffy with your list, as I'm a TechSpot Enthusiast member, and I have only about 164 posts, way below 350+...

    That's because the number of qualifying posts for each title was changed maybe a year or so ago. Keep in mind this thread is close to 3.5 years old.

    For the current list and number of posts required for each, see here: http://www.techspot.com/vb-faq.html

    Even though this topic area is very old, I would personally like to point something out to the original poster, if he's even still around!?!

    Remember my friend, it's not about the destination or what rank you are on a forum, it's more so about the journey, not the destination!

    I may just be talking to the wind here seeing this thing is so old, but just chill out, relax and enjoy the brother & sisterhood here. And don't worry yourself about fancy titles by your forum name!

    Journey = Priceless

    Fancy rank title = No more journey

    Above a certain rank and/or length of service they enabled the ability to edit your own custom title :)

    That OROTU to you Abe:p:wave:
    I think its two years in good standing and 3000+ posts if memory serves. I think the custom title option is at the discretion of management. This is from memory so grain of salt thing.

    Gotta get to work then! I have a title in mind, :p (still a long way though)

    Speaking of ruler of the universe, when I wrote that, I was thinking of a dude who has that title! I couldn't remember though until you replied here. So it was you. :)

  17. Matthew TechSpot Editor, Community Manager

    Just to confirm Red's post, folks registered for 2+ years with 3,000+ posts get the ability to set a custom title. Sometimes we flip the switch early for highly active members who eat all their vegetables and play nice with other kids in the sandbox. See the bottom of this page for more information: http://www.techspot.com/vb-faq.html

    You can get detailed information here

    http://www.techspot.com/vb-faq.html

    Basically there are two tiers

    1) Automatic Updation of Title based upon the number of posts

    2) A tier of titles given manually on a per-user basis, usually based on merit and seniority.

    Do note the following for the second tier:

    a) The member must have remained in good standing for a specified period of time

    b) It is not guaranteed you will be given the title by just fulfilling the basic requirements.

    If a person gets banned (for any reason whatsoever), he can say goodbye to the good standing.:)
