Suggest Special User Titles!

[The_Big_K]

CEans,

We've been delaying this for long. I guess with lot of fresh blood flowing in (read: new members joining) we can look for better ideas for our Special User Titles!

Q. What are special user titles?
User title is the text that appears below your username. Currently, user titles are based on the number of posts that each member makes. These are 'regular user titles'.

"Special User Titles" are awarded to members who are exceptional contributors! These are independent of the number of posts that the user makes. If you bring in kick-ass ideas, posts on CE Forums, you will be awarded special user title. Currently few of our members have special user titles, however we can have better user titles.

Q. So what do we want?
Let's say a member actively helps others with technical issues, what would you like to call him? Maybe "CEan - Techie" , "Tech God", "Tech Guru" etc. These will be 'special user titles'. We need them.

So, post your ideas about special user titles.

Here are categories:-

1. Member who brings in technical posts/articles helps with technical issuses:-

2. Member who is an active debator :-

3. Member who guides new members :-

<suggest more>

Waiting for your replies!

*decision pending*

We'll see. Most probably, one user will have only one special user title at any point of time.

[gohm]

Yeah, one title per user is a good idea. Can the titles change?

[The_Big_K]

Of course! The titles can be changed. It depends on how the user contributes to CE

Frodo.Rok suggested good titles. But we still need more!

Good going. How do you propose to use these titles? As in, who should we award CE Lovers or CE IMMORTALS?

[devesh]

I think the title
CE Lovers should be given to those CE'ans who visits the sites daily or on weekly basis to gather knowledge etc etc..

CE Rockers should be given to those CE'ans who are CE Lovers and contributing to the forums as well from the day they have joined us.

CE Immortals should be given to those CE'ans who are CE Lovers(thats obvious) who had been contributing rich and valuable contents(be it a special thread,posting replies,some general knowledge etc) from the day crazyengineers started to rise and made it presence felt to all the crazy engineers.

and now comes
CE Riders----WHAT TO SAY?????
Father of CE OR Mother of CE.
Very selected CE'ans are entitled for this(to name one : KIDAKAKA and ofcourse our own BIG_K)
CE Riders are the CE'ans who are contributing in each n every forum.tries their best to resolve the issues,be it a tech or non tech.
Taking care of Crazyengineers.com like their own Babies.
Suggestions(diagnosis based) being so gud that you cann't deny any fact.
Gives a lot of great GYAN(knowledge) on the professional front.



Now its for you Biggie to decide".....

We can probably link reputation points with these titles, makes choosing the CEans a little bit more easier (and less prone to biasing).

[frodo.rok]

I agree with Ash.
Also we can take other things in account like nos. of posts, quality of posts,
nos of participations, quality of participation,initiatives, etc.

[The_Big_K]

I personally do not believe in reputation points. Maybe we'll implement them in future, but not soon.

I guess 'Special User Titles' is fairly misunderstood. Special user titles are awarded only to those who bring in quality (value) to CE. These titles are awarded independent of the number of posts!

[frodo.rok]

so will it depend only on quality of the posts or participation etc.?

[The_Big_K]

As I said, its the quality of posts as well as any other contributions (articles, initiatives etc.) [basically, adding value to CE] that will decide the user titles.

However, we seriously need good special user titles
