We the People of the SDMB would like customizeable titles! {Not doing the contest, maybe a Queue}

Where the @Typo_Knig when you need him?

Cool! Will it be in ATMB? Will y’all run some kind of board-wide banner alerting those who hadn’t dropped into this thread?

I’ll take one for the team: change my title to “Ask What_Exit about my new title”

I’ll globaly pin it for 3-4 weeks.

We don’t want PMs for this though. I’ll have the thread up tomorrow.

Maybe we could use custom titles as a bribe for something that makes the board a little more nifty. Maybe adding your location and/or a photo of yourself to your profile earns you a custom title of your choice (within reason).

And the Queue is open:

Remember, requests in this thread will probably get missed.

Wow, that took far fewer years of complaining and arguing than enabling avatars, or embedded images.

Could it be that the board has become more nimble in its old age?

I think we have actually.

Renaming MPSIMS happened amazingly fast after dozens of rejections in the past. Enough rejections where I thought it would never be approved.

Ed has been fast about revising the rules and trying to clear them up as he goes.

Tags went off pretty smoothly and I think we’re using them pretty well now.

Well, that’s probably great news for our odds of continued survival.

Aw! The completed title change list is private. I wanna see what everyone is opting for!

Mine already went through. Check it out!

I’m going to see about moving it to ATMB at least for the first month.
It can always be stored in documentation later.

Done for now. It might get moved back though.

Lookee lookee! I gots it! Thank ye kindly, magnificent mod!

Woohoo!

Yes, thanks to the Mod staff for making this feature happen so quickly and thanks to @What_Exit for the nearly instant service on my own request this morning.

I’m confused. Am I supposed to put my request in the Custom Titles Queue thread, email a mod, email an administrator, or something else?

First line of the thread:

Please do not Email or PM. We’ll reject such requests as it makes documenting hard.

Agreed, and I, too, want to thank @What_Exit – probably our most active mod – for helping make this happen and for so quickly accommodating all the requests. And kudos to @ParallelLines for submitting the suggestion in the first place. It may seem like a small thing, but things like this help make this a fun place!

In keeping with my new title, I would like to question whether the word you were looking for in your title was really “herdress” or should more properly have been “herderess”. :wink:

If you’re busy right now I will come to your house later and we can discuss this until you agree I’m right, or all night, whichever comes first. I promise to be unfailingly polite.
:seal:

Hey! If “huntress” works for “hunter”, why not “herdress” for “herder”? Huh? Huh?

Bad dog! [boops nose with rolled-up magazine]

And stop barking at me; I left the Beggin treats in my other jacket.

So 24 titles changes so far. About 50/50 for @puzzlegal and myself.
