Title: A simple title
Post by: Afro_ on June 29, 2013, 07:33:09 pm
Sup. If I'm trusted, wouldn't having the title "Trusted" be like...
 I think that All ranks should be able to have the name of their rank as a title if they want, all excapt maybe member/guest because yaknow. They are "guests". Wouldn't having those titles not affect anything? They wouldn't.

Since I know of no "Trusteds" in the Classic Server, I think you meant to post in the SMP Suggestions section. If someone could move this, that would be great.

In reply to your post, I remember watching an extremely old video about Opticraft, when they did have titles. Ask a veteran player why they were removed, then you can campaign for them.

Edit: I've found a video from about a year back when they all had titles, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6YpdDjoq_o

Moved to SMP suggestions.

And yes, we did have titles for everyone long time ago as you can see in my sig, but I do not know why they were removed.

Right when I got trusted I had the Rank Trusted for about 2 weeks then they were removed.

Over a year ago, back at the launch of the SMP server every rank had [Guest] [Member] [Trusted] [Moderator] [Operator] [Admin] or [Owner] before their name. This was removed sometime in March of 2012 when titles were added as a donation reward.

I don't think this should be brought back because it's one of the most popular donation rewards which of course is paying for the server. if this was brought back i think opti would in some way struggle to pay for the server.

It would just add needless clutter. The color system works fine.

Ah, yes I remember those. They weren't really needed anyway since each rank had it's own color and also they're
more useful as a reward for donating since it gives the server money.

this is most likely the main reason

I don't think it should come back, it makes it look messy if I'm honest

Maybe only for the people that want 1? It won't get too spamming if only trustees get it since most mods all have titles right.?  And members...  Whatever. I just want a title.  Any.

What if the titles donation meant you could change your title, instead of them stacking?

e.g

[ilikepie][Trusted]duinis: derp

But instead of that it's just

[ilikepie]duinis: derpchickens

So why not with normal players? I'd like to see my Trusted tag again..

Plus it'd solve the problem of guests/members saying "What rank is he?" or "wtf y is his name orange"

It is to obviously identify us as staff members, player ranks are clearly described in the /rules book which explains just about everything a new guest would need to know. In addition to the /ranks command which also says what each rank is and what they can do. Of course you can always donate to our marvelous server to buy a title and change it to Trusted

Some people don't read the rulebook... Like me :I

And not everyone can donate, some people are kids who don't have illegal credit cards or lenient mothers.

I've seen guests and members get confused about the white, grey, and orange names. 
Title: Re: A simple title
Post by: Afro_ on July 03, 2013, 06:39:57 pm
Yeah. It could fix a situation like:

[G]AntVenom: Hi guys im new can i have op cmon im ANTVENOM
[G][Salem] Saeberus:No. Please don't ask. Read the rules.

[G]AntVenom:Why should I trust you??

Sorry if I did a bad job bust still. And maybe players could choose to have the rank title or not?

Most people would choose to have a title and then, it would be Déjà vu (French [Translates to 'already seen']) for serveral older players ( i.e. messy and cluttered) The color system works fine. Just curious, why do you want a title so badly? Just because you have a title, doesn't mean that you'd be better than anyone, it just means that (if this follows through) you would be one of everyone else that wanted a title. Currently, a title stands that you are fortunate to have money you can spend and have cared so much about this server that you donated, not bought, but donated with a slight difference to your gameplay. ( Or you pay your time and effort to help better the community [Staff])

And could we maybe make Trusted's color orange on forums?
eg.
Players online:

Title: Re: A simple title
Post by: SoulKnightGT on July 04, 2013, 06:59:36 pm
Smp has to many trusted members, so it would take a load of time for the staff to make everyone Trusted on the forums.
Title: Re: A simple title
Post by: Afro_ on July 04, 2013, 09:46:22 pm
But it would also help with identification, too.

Hey, just a suggestion :) that's why it's in the Suggestions part of Forums :)

We switched from this so people could have custom titles and we have no plans of re implementing the default titles.
