Ok so people have been posting about being allowed to customize things like avatars or usernames.

I am mainly making this thread to find ideas on how to implement this. Though i like how it is right now and have no excuses.

some will be new ideas of my own, that we could apply.

Avatars
What i had for this idea was mainly the following point,no one can change their avatar until a mod gives them the permission, this permission is mainly based on certain steps.
First your account reaches a certain age.
Notification comes to mods, and they decide if they will allow you to customize your avatar.
If they do, you have to submit an avatar you want to upload.
The mods shall see if it is worth it, and if it is, they will edit your profile for you.

This takes away people the chance to put on avatars, that are not allowed, and at the same time, slows down the movement of request to upload, as the mods have the right to choose if they will allow you to upload or not.

Username
So this is mainly something some people want to do, now i do not really care, but i think that if people want to do it, they must give a title they want to choose submitted to the mods, this although will be annoying for them due to the flood of request, though it could be organized by certain ranking, or titles.

Trust
Now most of the above problems can be dealt with, with a new ranking system, mainly a trust system. It will start at 0 and depending on your actions or behavior your rank would go up or down.

This can only be modified by the mods, if they see a good post or you doing something they approve, then they can give you a plus point.

True the mods may not update some peoples trust bar if they are not noticing it, for this i believe that it should be done that at the birthday of the account, there is a request to the mods on whether to increase or decrease its points, the mods can see number of bans, etc, and can decide from there whether to give point or decrease their points.

Title
So i saw ken post this in another thread and my response was against it.

The only way i will see it happen, is if there are titles for those who break rules also exist, or their actions are frowned upon.

Mainly if there are titles for doing good things, then there should be titles for those who do bad things, maybe depending on their characteristics.

Conclusion
Overall i do not really care if any of the above ideas are implemented and are just my response to the threads being made recently, i am okay with what i have, and understand the reason of not changing considering most have coup, although i do not.

I only ask you to discuss certain ideas, if you want to add a suggestion, that i could add message me and i can update the Original Post.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

The only thing I'm going to touch on is your idea for the trust system, I oppose anything that can be directly/manually manipulated by an individual based on a subjective variable such as "doing something good" or "making a good post/thread". Values should be determined by predefined variables. Though I could compromise and agree that Master Ninjas could have access to remove negatively impacting trust variables from accounts that were unfortunately banned by mistake or a overzealous/bias moderator... or something. That was it would be able to alleviate the current pain-point of having to still live with the negative impact of being banned after a successful appeal.

Why would anything be submitted to the Mods? If anything would be submitted, it should be submitted to the web team?

Custom avatars have been wanted for a long time, but it will probably never happen. If you really want a custom avatar, just install Coup? (I myself do not use Coup because I am fine with the way that it is.)

But if there were custom avatars, there should be an automatic filter to not allow unwanted pictues, (like genitals or gruesome murders) but people would probably find a way to bypass this.

Custom titles should not be added either, only because nothing would really be exclusive. Only the web team should have custom titles/avatars. If you want a custom title, just join an exclusive group that allows their members to do this?

Why would even suggest this...

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I don't want the mods to have to look through tens or hundreds of applicants everyday instead of moderating. This place would look like a wreck.

I agree thats why you could cause it into an automatic request, which is given after a ceratain formula has hit a certain number.
This formula includes post count, account age, and the trust system.

Although i do not care and do not really want this, i just wanted to throw this out there, i had been thinking on how it was going to work.
