It's an interesting thought, but I feel that forum referencing subtitles could cause segregation we don't really need on the forums.

Agreed. But what about people that don't really stay in one forum. What would they be called. Overall, I just think that it wouldn only create problems. If someone labelled from New Mombasa comes into the Flood and make a post about something... well, I think it's self-explanitory.

I like the idea, I want to separate myself from the septagonians, it besmirches my drunken, ranting Floodian heritage to be associated with them. It could also serve as a warning to those before they read my ranting.

Perhaps instead of that... Make "Last Post: **/**/****" be a link to that user's last post. /\ /\

I would like a "last thread posted" to appear below our info. It would help me find threads that would interest me.

We could have custom titles, where you add in a little witty remark to describe you. Of course foul language would be monitored by the mods, no harder than reading a topic/member name.

So instead of forum based, I would have

Thank you, RedPhoenix. This is the exact and most obvious problem with this idea, and unfortunately I think it's a show-stopper. I cannot imagine the amount of harassment and segregation that would happen to the poor member who tried to post in a forum that is not his "home" forum.

I appreciate the thought behind the original post, but I think that it is far too flawed to be implemented.

Erm this might seem silly, but why don't you just put that your a floodian in your sig? The last post idea might be quite good though or how many threads you've created recently.

...I've had a similar idea. Instead of the "last post" linking to the actual las post of the member, what would you think if it linked to the "Forums - Author" serach page with the members's name inserted?


That would be pretty nifty. It would certainly save us having to manually searching for individuals' posts...because i'm lazy.

Then why do you keep telling me to go sit at the back of the forum?

Laziness is the new way. So is procrastination.

That's not silly at all. That's what I'm wondering.

The signature is for customisation. Why have an additional "member title" which can cause potential segregation (and give spammers another tool to abuse), when you can put that stuff in your sig?

The "last posts" link idea would be great. I would probably mainly use it to check out a spammers history, but it would also be handy for members to interact more with eachother.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Bollocks. It would be fine. Honestly, people are segregated by their posts already, so it's nothing you wouldn't know already. If someone had the title "UBER HALO 3 LORD LOL", chances are I wouldn't like them by the content of their post as well. It's a harmless, fun idea. I'm all for it.

Exactly my point.
If he had a title Halo 3..whatever chances are i wouldn't like him sheerly because of the volume of his post and the high probability it says...Z0mg H4l0 3 c0m3z 0u7 0n teh 7-7-7!!!111one!!!11eleven!11.

It's not a terrible idea. I mean, we'll have segregation as it is. Of course, I do understand MOAR isn't wanted. :P

Oh, wait, I'm talking to Jim.. Huh.

I would agree, though, it's probably not in the best interest of the community.

I like that whole last post bit too. Someone show Achronos the idea, maybe he'll like it.
