I want Heroic. I don't post too much though, I wonder how heavily the account age factors in.
You definitely post enough to be a Heroic member, your post history on the mains only goes back 10 days. You should find some groups to join and get moderately active in them, it helps your title, trust me!

Because you are Exalted your trust rating should be pretty high, the system just wants to see more life out of you. Try to post a few more times per day and definitely join some groups (it definitely won't hurt to post in said groups)!

The trust you need for a Senior rating is probably there for you.
E tu, Aragosta Pesce II? Trust rating has no affect on prefixes, except for when your trust is below zero and you consequently loose all earned prefixes.

Trust me, Arogosta Pesce is definitely not short on a sense of humor. :D

Makes sense, my trips here do tend to be when I get a little bored and need somewhere to kill a bit of time rather than continuous investment in the community.
Trust me, I've had my fair share of dates with the banhammer back in the day ('09 and before). I was even permabanned at one point, but I was lucky enough to have that removed. Then, I grew up. Maturity has really helped in volumes not only on the site but life in general!

Very good word to use: investment. The more time you invest here, the more you get out of it (at least in my mind). :)

Stop using my name in another language, it confuses me and makes my feeble brain ache. I did not know about that whole thing with prefixes, is it confirmed?

In terms of my sense of humor, that is for another day ;)

The woodpecker sighs,
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies."
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely;
Crying to the moon,
"If only, if only."

Essentially. I do know that im am b0red was banned and got Veteran back almost immediately.

Some prefixes are earned on a criteria that allow you to gain higher trust rating, then, such as Exalted. That will suffice for me.

By which you naturally mean that the more time you invest here, the less of a life you ultimately have. Posting 1,000 times a month is a sure fire way to not remember most of what you've posted and have a moderator take offence at something you've posted.

[Prefixes] are not related to trust rating.
Posted by: Achronos
These prefixes are computed completely seperately from the main titles of Member, Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic... except if you get banned or have a negative trust value for whatever reason, in which case your prefix is cleared.

No, naturally I mean that the more you time you spend here and enjoy the community, the more you get out of it. I am speaking purely out of opinion here.

I've thrown the whole "having a life thing" out the window because, personally, I am fully capable of maintaining a social life as well as staying connected with the the things I enjoy on the internet. I am not saying your reply was a stab at me and being defensive, I just feel the whole "no life" thing should have died a long time ago.

I'm not sure how much I post per month but I didn't say he had to post 1,000 times a month. That's for people obsessing over titles and whatnot. Just being on the site and having the ambition to post, and post effectively within the rules will suffice.

Oh, none of that was aimed at you. I kept up a trend of posting 1,000 times a month for at least six months a few years ago. It's amazing how much time you can spend on the Flood when you should be doing something else.

Ultimately what you get out of the community depends what you're looking for. I haven't touched a Halo forum since 2005, really, and I mainly stick around for the people. Similar trend to most of the elder members, really.

Posting that much won't really do much - you get more for activity and posting in groups than you do for epic post counts, unless you're chasing Fabled. Personally I thought Intrepid was a better title, but oh well.

After nearly 8 years here, you'd think I'd have found a better use for my time...

For some reason I saw a heroic member who has only been here since like May of this year.

Yep, Clone hit Heroic around or before 08.07.2012 3:10 PM PDT, approximately 94 days or three months and two days after his account's creation on 05.12.2012. Fastest record I have of a member reaching Heroic.

Alas, you're a filthy '08. You'll never overcome the stain of your birth status. All you can dream of is one day gaining our respect. It's a hard life...

My last ban dropped me from veteran legendary to veteran heroic. Regained legendary in about 3 days.

Hopefully I'll keep my veteran prefix until I receive senior.

What? How did you regain Legendary in 3 days? I was heroic, then got a minor 3 day ban (only my second ban ever) and I have been without heroic for 3 weeks! Plus I was VERY active!

I have a feeling you'll hit heroic within another week.

EDIT: Of course, I had a higher trust entering a 3 day ban and it took about 2 months.

I have been here for 4.5 years and have only received two 3 day bans and entire year apart. How bad could my trust rating be?
