Remember, trust is calculated daily, and the maximum value possible changes every day too. Since the titles are based on the percentage your trust value is compared to the maximum value, it can easily change if the max value goes up further than you go up in the intervening time, even if you haven't had any negative items against you.

In other words, no the system isn't buggy, stop asking why your title changed, I'm not going to tell you.

Who decides which members of Bungie staff get it? I ask because I just noticed that Marty O'Donnel doesn't have it, which is odd, given his 'Grizzled Ancient' status. Do staff members have to fight the webmaster for his hat before they get the text, or something?

Maybe he doesn't want it...? He might just want to be a regular member that posts every once in a while. No need to have 'powers' if they're never gonna be used.

Achronos enables it for employees who actively use the forums. Jonny O Than posted for quite a while before he decided he wanted the yellow text.

He's a contractor, not the same as an employee.

Hence, why everything is his fault.

Originally, it couldn't be enabled for people without giving them full control over the main content system. That's undesirable.

However, for a while now we can give gold and orangey-red text to people without giving them security powers. So, lately, anyone who posts regularly in the public forums gets gold text and special title. Some older accounts (like Marty's) don't have it because they haven't asked. Marty only ever posts in his own group, though.

Loose talk is noose talk.

So, you don't trust Marty? *utter sounds of disgust*. I think they shouldn't have to ask, it should come with the salary (except for poor, old Stosh).

You know how Bungie is with their jokes. Giving them all administrative powers would probably cause a series of chaotic jokes.

So now I'm a beta tester. Let's see where this goes.

I know that it has always the goal to keep the forums from being too much of an eye-sore, but does anyone know if any other colored text has ever been considered?

You mean for regular use? I doubt it, since it's being used to signify employees. Also the lack of excessive color keeps the forums cleaner.

No I meant for special users or during ARG's, and yes I agree that it does keep the forum "cleaner".

Okay I get what you're saying but I don't know if it's necessary. The colored text is more used so their posts will stand out as something that's official. I'm not sure that Theme Masters or Webcam MVP's would need it.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

I vote that since Stosh is a Bungie employee and a moderator that he have pink text.

If I told you that, I'd have to kill you. But as a teaser it involved Stosh.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

I hope no one reads that and goes on a posting spree under the assumption that they'll get gold text. You may have just caused a spam spree, but you didn't really cause it. It's all stosh's fault.

Damn that bastard to hell!

Thanking you. That one's been a bit of a puzzler for me. Also, I had noticed Marty's hermit like adherence to his own group. Must enjoy the dictatorial control :P

Actually, I just learned that we can all have yellow text, if only temporarily:

Posted by: CrypticGuardian
Go here first; click quote, preview, quote, and then preview. You will be granted with orange text temporarily, until you hit the submit button.


This also works with Achronos' posts, so we can all, technically have golden text.
