I wonder if that would make the rest of the staff Demi Gods... ;)

Hell thats why I named my latest poll something like that. Not really, I was just trying to play of Hobo's alcohol title :lol:...please don't kill me.

In my opinion, the custom titles are being handed out too generously now, and even people who are known to have multiple accounts have them.

It's making it less and less special. Why not just throw out the whole Oddworld ranking system while you're at it? Everyone's going to have a CT soon anyway...

I kind of agree. At first I was excited that I could get a CT, but now everybody has them. Not that those people aren't deserving, but... I dunno. We need some new members. :p

Yeah less and less special. Till i suggest either implementing a code that i've seen on other forums that allows sparkly titles or stuff or even just other colours ranking a user's specialness. Yes. That is a great idea. Use it.

Jesus people.

I've given titles to THREE PEOPLE and I've turned down just as many. Get the fuck over it. I know you're just giving your opinions because I asked for them, but Jesus H. Christ, don't you think that you're overreacting?

They're not going to lose their specialness.

Heh, awesome. I'll agree with most things but I believe you should allow exceptions in the case of bannings.

For example, a member may be banned for being stupid when he is 10 years old but within two years he may turn himself around and become a good member, possibly even a staff member, but your rules prevent him from getting a CM or name change.

Okay, but what if this banned member has been really wise and intelligent, not losing it, but dishing out posts that are sensible and intelligent? Whjat if the person caused innovations in the forum that have great results and have changed the forums for the better? Very rare, but possible.

I never said that you shouldn't do it. The fact that I disagree with your opinion and suggestion doesn't mean that I feel you shouldn't give your opinion at all.

I totally agree. And there may not be any more title givings for a long while now. Unless all the really awesome non-CT members start asking for one at the same time...

But you know, for heavens sake, they're just titles anyway...they're just a bit of fun and a sort of "I'm a good member" sticker. Not exactly like you're giving up the earth and the moon when you hand one over. I know this is different because it's not the same forum, but on my forum, to begin with, we handed out titles to anyone who was a regular member and contributed well, and that was enough to earn you one - they were too insignificant in my mind to be considered special. And I find it hard to comprehend how anyone else could consider them so valuable.

I can't help think the whole "specialness" shindig is a bit, er, well, retarded. I understand that you want to keep it exclusive so that it only denotes really good members, but I mean come on, there's got to be a point where sometimes you just realise "hey it's just a few words next to your name, big deal, there are more important things in life" (I'm talking in terms of arguing about who gets one). If someone took away my title I would be slightly annoyed, but only because one of the staff found a reason to be anal enough to decide to "punish" me by removing some mildly humorous text from my postbit. I wouldn't exactly lose sleep over it. o_0

I actually happen to agree with this, we did it on my forum and it worked very well.

Dino, you know better. No double posting. If you really needed to, you could always go back and edit in quotes and such from other people. I noticed you double posted in the hunting thread, too.

So, yeah, no more of that. I hate to be a hard-ass, but if you do it again I'll have to give you a warning.

Yeah sorry about that. My bad. That's me forgetting about my previous posts. *slaps self like a bitch uhuh*

I am a pretty dumb member , and too new to be asking for any of these things , but i am guessing that name changes are changing your profile name , and is a ct like " vykerr sawbones " or " glukkon big cheese " , correct??

It changes the bit of text underneath your username, yes.

Actually, the two you mentioned come with increased post count. I think there's a list of them somewhere, if you want to go find it. CT are custom made for the individual, like T-nex's kitty-cat title, or Searex's 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'.

I see! thankyou very much! well , ill be waiting a long time then to get a name change! thanks again!

If you mean a title change, then yes.

If you mean a name change (ie change "mullock the glukkon" to something else, possibly spelled correctly) you should ask ASAP as the mods really only do it to new members who regretted their names right after joining. Once someone is 'known' by a certain name, the mods hardly ever let them change.

I know that name changes are a huge deal and that they are hardly ever accepted, but do you think that the Mods would let me put Capitals on "cullen heath"?

I want my username to be like this:

Cullen Heath



I don't see it as a name change, really, just more of a correction sense I was retarded and forgot to put Capitals.

Mods, if you are reading this, will you please change it for me? It may not seem like a big deal, but it is to me and I would love it if you could give me Capitals.

oh no ! who can i give a pm to so they can change my name?? I dont wanna be molluck the glukkon! I wanna be outlaw king! please someone help before its tooooooo late!! I really regret having mullock the glukkon as a username!

Calm down.
As you may have noticed, SeaRex was very kind and granted my request for Capitals in my name.

As you are very new, it probably isn't too late, but I'm not sure if he would be willing to. You can PM him and ask him.

Thanks again, Luke!

thankyou thankyou thankyou , may the mudokon shaman bless all your oddworld stuff to live on forever!

Sweet!
Everlasting Oddworld collectibles!

Ive just dropped searex a pm , now all i can do is wait and hope im not too late !

Well, good luck.


If you do manage to get it changed, come into this thread and announce it so everyone will know who you really are and then poke you with a stick and call you your old name;).

can do! he eh , sticks , dont know why i find that so funny.

okay sorry for the double post , but it was such a special occasion , and im doing what cullen suggested.
HOORAY! once known as - mullock the glukkon
now known as - OUTLAW KING!!!
yep , ya heard right , ive got ma name changed , and am now outlaw king!
Thanks searex , your generosity will not be forgotten!

Luke, that was very nice of you.


Congrats Molluck the Glukkon! *Pokes with big moldy stick*

You're welcome. Just keep the idle chat to PMs. This thread is for discussion concerning criteria for custom titles and name changes.

These custom title things, this may be a really stupid question (sorry) but I realise you ask for the title itself, but do you get to choose what it is? Or do the Admins/SMods/GMods decide for you?

The member chooses, of course.
