Craziness has always been a partial exception to the rules.
I exp Sorry. If you detest the way we handle custom titles, get over it. We hand out exceptions rarely, but that is to people who make quality posts on a regular basis. |

Originally posted by DagshaSo, a thread that "would" evolve into something of worth, a thread about "nothing," and a "stupidly pointless thread" constitute worthwhile discussion? The two exceptions, if they are as valuable as you suggest, would be perfectly relevant and acceptable in Gen Chat instead, so they're not even in the right forum. Essentially, the only threads that really belong in Craziness are the ones that are worthless. So, we have a forum for talking about nothing. That's what spam is. Originally posted by DagshaIf the rule is so stringent as to merit a "goddamn" in the FAQ, why is an exception allowed? Originally posted by DagshaWhy? Originally posted by DagshaSo, the best way to deal with a problem is to "get over it?" Should people who objected to Hitler's regime have "gotten over it?" (Godwin invoked intentionally, to be funny [I hope]!>). But seriously, why should I have to "get over" something instead of pursuing a solution to it? What is your definition of a "quality post" and a "regular basis?" |

You overrate custom titles by far.
Even if you are granted one (like if you had one before), it is only "bypassed". So anyone without fulfilling the requirement with one will lose it, if he or she edits it and leaves the field blank and submit the profile changes. It is a neat addition, but if I'm in that desparate mood to need one again (I got my one back earlier, since I proved I had one), I would make a layout and maybe put some nice stuff into it or into the signature part. This way I lost my title (hence the red user name and a mouse-over link I didn't took serious - and read the thread about it much later ), but I won't need it anyway, hehe. As for spamming and Craziness domain, some things bothered me in the old AcmlmBoard as well, but I didn't pay too much attention and I rather replied to the threads which interested me only. And you, Silvershield, at least your name is telling something, already from the first AcmlmBoard. It simply IS selection whom to give a custom title, it is similar to selecting staff users. A intelligent but flaming user might have less chances to get a spot as someone with same knowledge but who might not behave like he/she is somewhat better. Since we all are human beings, this never will be changed. |

I can prove that I had one too but, after going through all the trouble to fight this, I doubt I'd even make use of it if I my custom title were reinstated. I'm not bringing up this issue out of selfish desire to have a title for myself, but because I see it as a component of this board that is undeniably counterproductive. People so often preach about the evils of spam, or a banned user is given a witty little custom title that notes that he was banned for spamming, but all the while there's an incredibly active forum that allows and encourages it. And these titles give the illusion that the possessor is an exceptionally contributing member, while it's likely that he just spends a bunch of time in that ridiculous forum. |
