Subject: Forum Titles - Moving up

Tag 'em and Bag 'em!

I'm just curious, I know that to gain a higher title you have to behave (obviously) and mainly post quality posts, but I was just wondering whether the system that analyses it (etc) is automated, or is there some human element involved?

Sorry if this has been discussed before, couldn't really think of any keywords to shove in the search bar that might bring me to a topic on this.

Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

As far as we've been told, it's all automated.

Yes, and it seems to be tied to a many number of things. Not just good quality posts. (of course, that's all you should worry about)

It seems to be based upon the time you have been here, post quality and the amount of blacklistings you have received. However we don't know much.

This should be in the community forum, don't repost though, a moderator will move it for you ;-)

EDIT: I apologize, this is the community forum, I thought I was in the Halo 3 forum. Somebody should hit me with a long stick. Sorry :-/

Personally I believe that it's mostly based on how long you have been a member here.
Warnings and/or bans lower your trust. And it will take even longer to become a heroic member or w/e.

So, just stay active, don't get warned or banned, and you'll probably eventually gain more trust.

I think its mainly the amount of time you have been a member if you look at the ledgendary members most have been a member from 2004 or before, Heroics 2006 and before etc..

My guess.
Heroic: 1.5 years.
Legendary: 3 years.
Mythic: 5 years.

EDIT: This is if you don't have any bans or warnings.

Isn't based off of the Bans and how long you been here? Just those two, or are there more that we know of?

  • 01.07.2008 10:53 AM PDT

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

Or if you get accidentally permanently blacklisted by a moderator and it takes a few hours for him to cancel it and as a result, drop a title. So we know that if your ban gets cancelled, it still affects your member rating.

It's just a two worded title, it's no biggie; we're still all the same.

Some people complained that when XBox Live was having problems, and disassociating their Gamertags from their WLID, that it led to the lowering of their community member status.
I.e. a 'Heroic member' with a linked gamertag became a 'member' after the two were unlinked. So, I'm pretty sure it factors in some small way.

That, and Bungie hinted many times at the possibility that there were more factors than we know.

That's who I thought he was talking about to begin with...

To SGM: It's also not really an issue of "Moving up", either. It does say something (don't ask me what, it probably means you're a nerd) if you have a higher rank title, but in the end, it's all about just playing nice and having fun. :)

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

So you must be a super nerd having the title of "Legendary Member" :P. The "youngest" heroic member I have seen is from like January 16th of 2007. That means Foman's time is coming and soon it might be mine.

Also, do bans by The Soul count torwards it? :(

I'd think so. Ban = Ban, regardless of who it's by.

And shut up. I'm not a nerd. :'(

You're all nerds...except for me obviously, I'm cool because of my Webcam MVP status!

It's probably a good thing I can't see my actual title (herioc, legendary, etc.) because I've been warned several times by a certain Moderator, whom will remain nameless (Achilles), for talking about his wife. It's always fun getting a PM from the Soul saying, "Stop talking about my wife jerk!"

Always classy that Moderator is...

It IS as bad as you think and they ARE out to get you.

But if a person if a very active and helpful community member, they can probably move up quicker.

For the love of god when will you people realize that post quality has nothing to do with it as long as its not the reason for a blacklist/warning. And being a helpfull member isnt a parameter either seeing that a computer program can´t validate the content of a post. The only thing an automated program can determine is:

*The amount of time a person has been a member
*Amount of posts
*Amount of warnings/blacklists.
*If the member has a GT linked to his or her account.
*Group memberships

Im not saying that these are indeed factors but they could be in an automated system.

Everything els would have to be done manually and would be highly unfair since the mods arent online 24/7 and doesnt have the time to rate every member theyre running into.

Member titles FAQ

I heard a lot to do with member rankings has to do with how long you've been a member on Bungie.net. Otherwise you could always pm a ninja for the official info.
