Wrong. Because they made it possible.

Anything is possible. Even an absent forum ninja.

My title decreased to Heroic Member today. I'm kind of sad. I think it's because I didn't post for 2 WHOLE days.

I had a about a 6 hour ban and I haven't seen my heroic for about 4 months. I miss it.

Yeah. You've been a regular member for a long time. It should bump you up any time now.

Well, the Forum Ninja title is a "static" title, so it can't have a prefix. The mods do have their own titles, like the rest of us, but you can't see them (unless you look at the colour of their bar in groups).

Negative sir. The title "member" (which everyone has) is a security role. This security role has different titles and prefixes. The next security role would be Forum Ninja. This has no titles or prefixes. Would be pretty sweet though :)

Technically speaking the priority order in the OP is wrong. Absent takes priority over every other prefix, above Exalted.
Interesting. You make a very good observation. However, what if Reig doesn't have a prefix? Would the "Absent" prefix really go over another one then?

could make a test account..

Reiginko had the Elder prefix, he was one of the first to have it, before he became inactive.

The Absent prefix does seem to take priority over the others, but it's rather circumstantial. I would imagine that it is at the bottom of the priority list because it's requirements to obtain are so different from the others. Since it behaves so differently than the other prefixes, I would argue that its listing on the priority chart doesn't seem to hold any significance... It's almost in a different class.

I have been a "Mythically Heroic Member of Legend" once. Using Coup. :\

That last part ruins it, huh?

Does anyone even read these?

I could of sworn that I mentioned Absent Heroic Member.

*looks back a couple of pages*

Oh yeah. :P

Need to ask something

If you post 1 times a day would you losse your title becouse of your inactive becouse i have not been active much in the fourms.

From what we've seen, amount of activity factors fully into the Intrepid/Fabled category and partially in the major categories. Even posting on the mains once a day should allow you to maintain a Heroic title.

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

Didn't you receive that ban the day after you hit Heroic Member? My memory might be lying to me, but if that's what happened, it'll probably take longer than most to get it back. If you were going to be one of those people who bounce back and fourth between titles for long periods of time, your Heroic status might still be hiding in the corner even after your ban. The only thing that'll coax it to return is probably nothing more than time as of now.

I've seen quite a few Legendary members get bounced down to Heroic in the past 3 days, making me think that some sort of change to the requirements to get the Legendary title were made.

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Question for anyone nice enough to answer.

I've been a member for almost 2 years. I have zero bans or warnings. My avg. post count is around 2. I've recently joined a couple private groups and post a few times a day in those.

I just started reading this thread a few days ago. I don't know why but I am quite intrigued by this stuff.

Any idea if/when/how I'll bump up?

Try to post in a more regular pattern. That is, don't post 20 times in one night and forget the site for a month and a half. Regular activity, both in the public and private forums, will help you get a new title. If you've been a member for 2 years, you've already done most of the battle. Be active regularily for the next few weeks and you should see a change in your title.

I log in just about everyday and I post on a fairly regular basis. There are definitely periods of time where I don't post (maybe a few days to a week at the most). Should I try to post nearly everyday?

Probably at least once a day, either publicly or privately.

Can do.

I'm one of those people. I liked my light-gray title bar. :(

I need to achieve it once more.
