Agreed. Veteran does seem a bit heavy.
The change of post counts for titles was needed. Don't see why the titles had to be updated :tongue:

I don't think Veteran is correct. A veteran member implies that they have been here for a long time.
For example: I joined in 03 but I have around 560 posts. Thor joined in 06 but has over 1000 posts. I'd consider myself more of a veteran than he is however I would consider him to be a posting freak and myself not.

Precisely, if anything there should've just been an addition to the post ranks, a sixth star and a new title. People are now exceeding the threshold by a lot. I've had over 5000 posts for 2 years now and Cookie is just...

There should be a title just for him.

Please, no. So a mod would have 7 stars and an admin 8? Another title would be ok, but why the staars. IMO, remove stars completely, or at least replace them with something more subtle. Stars are taking up so much space, I hate it when the lift panel is bigger than my actual post :p.

EDIT: Fuck, and this one is too shorter than the stuff on the left too.

EDIT2: There, I fixed it!

Haha. I agree with the star removal. There's no point in it. You've already got a title :).

Haha, I think you misunderstood my comment. I was using the colloquial term 'you', as in:

I totally agree, but the problem is that the titles are assigned based on very simple rules (just post count). Maybe there's some way registration date could be factored in, but I wouldn't want to make it too complicated.

I don't think a system (or even a set of titles) exists that would be perfect and make everyone happy. :p

In the shoutbox I posted some ideas for titles found on other forums, but most of them suck: shout 80790, shout 61908
