3000+, not 2000. Too many newer kids post whoring and shit. 3000 is a little harder to attain.

I'm in no rush to reach "Post-Whore" status. I do think it should at least be a privilege though. Maybe if someone asks you, you could make a poll to see if everyone else thinks that they are worthy or if they deserve it or not....otherwise I wouldn't just hand it out like candy.

No, because then I'd never get one.

I'm in no need, but it would be a cool feature. Or Custom User title after 1 years time? To avoid from rabid post whoring...

That sounds a little better. To give it to the veteran posters who have been here since 03.

although i voted yes, i think it should go to the better tabbers as well as the more respected members. cloaca deserves one because he's a great tabber, look at all the effort he puts into his. then there's me who deserves one (i think anyway) because i've written 134 tabs, plenty of quality ones, amon amarth, fuck...i'm dead, etc., also darkenelf?
although admittedly, it would shut up a lot of people with non-custom titles, it would stop them whingeing "please can i have a title" etc.

i'd love one as you say in the FAQ or something, nothing makes you happier than a new tab....and i've made you happy 134 times ....

In my opinion, no. There is enough blatant post whoring around here already with the Now Playing threads and RTTs. I'm not sure what these people need is encouragement. That's how I feel, anyway.

I do think it would encourage blatant post-whoring. I'm saying no to 2000, but hey, whatever makes them happy I guess. I'll side with Def & BLS in this one.

I voted No. I don't see what's that special about it. And it would definately bring more Disincarnates to Metaltabs, which needless to say, would be rather annoying.

I'm happy with supreme metalhead..... for now.

I have another idea

How about NOT counting posts from Chit-Chat? The number of posts would then reflect the actual contribution, not the post whoring abilities...

hehe, then probably noone would be able to get a custom user title..... or they could just start whoring in the Band forum or something like that. Kinda happens already. I say just leave it the way it is.....

I side with Guitar Demon on this one: it should be reserved for people who make a decent contribution as judged by yourself, Nomad. If a number of posts were to be imposed before getting one though, I would agree with Def and say 5000 is a better figure but everything's fine as it is, I reckon.

Haha +1. I agree with the people who said it will encourage post whorage, If there was a custom title for people, it should only be people who have contributed well, like Dislexic in the gear talk, or John in the tabs, etc etc..

But your all our bitches

I did some math, I'm sure some of you will love the results. This is so awesome, you have to check it out.

Father Death-
0.49 posts per day.
4418 posts until he hits 5000.
At the current rate, it will take 24 years and 251 days for him to hit 5000.

Me-
0.96 posts per day.
4362 posts left until I reach 5000.
At the current rate, it will take 12 years and 161 days for me to hit 5000.

Dissection-
6.46 posts per day.
1624 posts left until he hits 5000
At the current rate, it will take 252 days for him to hit 5000.

CANNIBALCORPSE-
9.49 posts per day.
2138 posts left until he hits 5000.
At the current rate, it will take 227 days for him to hit 5000.

Transient-
10.71 posts per day.
2278 posts left until he hits 5000.
At the current rate, it will take 213 days for him to hit 5000.

Soulinsane-
11.65 posts per day.
2385 posts left until he hits 5000.
At the current rate, it will take 205 days for him to hit 5000.

BLS-
11.58 posts per day (holy shit!)
Going at the current rate, by the time I reach 5000 posts, BLS will already have 52,620 posts. By the time Father Death reaches 5000 posts, BLS will already have 104,416 posts. Holy fucking shit.

Anyone thinking of coming in to contact with BLS's laptop should wear a Trojan to protect themeselves from viruses contracted by his rampant postwhoring. I made a funny.

EDIT: Forgot to add SoulInsane and CANNIBALCORPSE.

Even with BLS's rampant post whoring, he doesn't project to hit 10,000 before you.

You- 243 days.
BLS- 330 days.

He might do it if you go away for a while or die or something.

Yeah, i second that, Or something more bland..

Then (gathering by the Metaltabs awards 2004 thread opinions) he might post less offensive posts.

Maybe the person also has to be a member a certain amount of time. Like a year or something and have X+ amount of posts.
Or just give me a little title and be done with it.

I actually wouldn't mind having a custom user title, but if I did, it would probably say "Haha, Transient" or "No Custom Title For You" or something like that. That would kick so much ass.

Even though I kind of rushed to the post-whore position, I say only respected members of the forum should get a title, or as the guy said people that have done something for metaltabs.com

Actually, considering I've been around much longer than this username let's on, I've averaged 0.67 posts per day since joining. At that rate, it would take 17 years and 294 days for me to hit 5000. Interesting stuff.

The active member with the lowest average posts per day that I was able to find is, oddly enough, Nomad. I don't think there is an active member with a lower post per day ratio than that. Not necessarily important, but I find this stuff interesting.

Point 1: You post every minute and a half. That was my point.

Point 2: They didn't kick me off, you arse. I just stop coming on because I was too fucking tired after doing Calc homework, muchless after school period.

Granted, his avatar sucks, but that shouldn't be good reason to rag on him and say he doesn't deserve a Custom User Title.

No, what makes him not deserve it is the fact that numb-nuts would use it to write something stupid; I.E. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss [burzum]. Then again, that too is his perrogative. What ever. I'm beginning to think a selection process would be more in order than handing them out after a certain amount of post, because for that matter, STUPID PRATS WHO POST WHORE AND HAVE SHIT TO SAY DO NOT DESERVE ONE (Reguardless if many of you peg me in that group). Post # does not distinguish you. No, quality does. If they try to help people out without ragging on them first, (Yes, all of us are guilty of it, even me occasionally) maybe that helps them distinguish themselves.. But for fucks sake, don't go handing them out.

Sorry for the rant that a whole 2 people will read.

it is interesting, and i like it cause someone else figured it all out while i reak the benefits of useless fact knowledge. also the reason our posts are so low, along w/Nomad, is that posts made in the Submission forum don't get added into the overall count.

For the record, I'm not opposed to giving out free custom user titles, I'm just opposed to that being based on post count. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being a post whore (if you really don't have anything better to do in real life), but seriously, should it be rewarded? I sure as hell don't think so.

Besides, I think everybody who voted 'yes' are overlooking one HUGE factor- if this goes through, TRANSIENT GETS A CUSTOM USER TITLE. For the good of human civilization, you CAN NOT let this happen.

More quality, less quantity. Good idea Andrew (what you posted a bit earlier), I think it should definately be more than 5, maybe 10 tabs plus the other guidelines if you are going to do this thing. And bass tabs shouldn't count, because then Disincarnate might qualify.

bass and drum and keyboard tabs should count, that ones a bit unfair. maybe we should just not give one to disincarnate just because it's disincarnate, just to be a bunch of cunts

For all except Transient. He'll be the only one without one



The thing about 'post whores' is that, if there werent any, If every one posted very little, then this site would be very dead. So, it is good to have people that post a lot. it keeps the site moving.

I still think CANNIBALCORPSE should just get one and be done with it

hahaha, too true CANNIBAL. good job with that tab too

i have a suggestion (probably get flamed to hell):

your post count does not increase when you post in "pending tabs."
what about it DOES go up in "pending tabs", including tabs you write, but instead, NOT have it go up when you post in chit chat?

lot's of people would be stuffed, myself included sorry if it's already been suggested.

Believe it or not, I think you'd be one of the better people with them.

Nomad: I understand why all people don't have custom user titles, but if Mods are getting "Forum Leader" under their name, does it really matter it someone with say 3000 or 2000 (or what the fuck ever) has a user title that has a little quip about themselves? No real value to a Custom User Title, so why the hell not?

Just make your choice and be done with it.

Hehe, well if he did, alot of stuff would be different. But for the better? Can't say that for sure, but thats looking more like a 'no.'

I just think that its stupid not to have custom titles. Considering Mxtabs' forums suck massive ass, but they still have custom titles.

Wrong. If there weren't any post whores, this site wouldn't be dead. It would be considerably less active, but infinitely better by virtue of the lack of threads concerning gooches, band name games, and pointless threads where we all tell each other what we're listening to. Oooh, goody! I'm listening to Alice in Chains right now. Does anybody care? I sure as hell hope not, it's pretty stupid. If you do care, we might as well start a thread where we record everything we eat. How about a thread where we all post every time we get out of the bathroom. #1 or #2? Both? How big was it? No kidding? Was there corn in it?

While I'm on this topic, I feel the need to propose an idea. In some of the forums I used to go to years back, there was a little space underneath every post where we wrote down what we were listening to. It was like a Now Playing notch, or we called it NP or something. I'll try to find a forum where they use one so Nomad can get an idea of what it's like. I'm not sure if he can do it, but if possible, it would be great. No more stupid "Now Playing" threads with post whores spreading their figurative cheeks, offering up their brown rings of uselessness so we can all see how bored they are.

Why 3000 posts? Why not have custom user titles based on something of actual merit? More importantly, why reward post whoring? Even more importantly, I can easily see people releasing shitty tabs just to get the stupid custom user title, so it shouldn't be based on tab count, be it 5 or 50.

I think the main thing that should allow you to have a custom user title is the amount of time you've been here.

well, it doesn't increase when you post in pending tabs, and if it did, i would have infinitely more posts, 133 plus many responses. and for chit chat, because it is traditionally not metal-related is why i suggested it. plus, no chit chat counting would encourage a lot less post-whoring.

I say just leave it as it is - I don't think there is any real need to change it. If Nomad feels that you've done something worthy of a custom title he'll tap you on the shoulder and twat you in the face with it. Just like that.

See, thats not fair. I understand that that shows that you've contributed, but for people like me who 1.) Do not tab, 2.) Cannot tab well, and 3.) concentrate more on my own work than the work of others, that isn't really fair.

1 tab, fine. But 5? A little much for people like me.

And Def: I've been banned for eternity from Mxtabs. They blocked my IP address. Seriously though, they did. I spoke my mind on something, and Sting-Ray got pissy, sent me a bitchy email, and banned me for it. That forum fucking sucks. Because you can't say FUCK.

Oh yeah: Thanks andrew. Hopefully nomad'll take my advice.

Well get better at tabbing then, then you would be able to have that user title you so desperately want. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

What is so good about them? There's nothing really cool about having 6 billion posts in one day, and custom titles is just and incentive to post stupid shit that dosn't matter. The whole Title based on post count thing should be scrapped. If custom title sare going to be given out, it's gotta be on usefulness, not being gay and filling the RTT up with 16 posts straight just to make a new fucking RTT.

I'd say the person has to be on the top tabbers list, and generally known to be helpful and shit. Not post stupid shit, not get into gay arguments [Like I do, I realise this.].

Whatever. I voted 'No'.

I still don't see a reason why everyone who has been here awhile shouldn't get one. I stand by my previous point.

What a discussion, I didn't really expect it to be so hot!

Well, I think I have a decent resolution, at least I don't see a better one.

How about requiring 2,000 posts AND 2 years of membership?

On one hand this won't create a motivation for post-whoring, 2,000 it's not too much for 2 years of posting. On another, those post-whores () who stayed here for 2 years deserve it too.

I like the idea of giving out custom titles for tabs or score but a) I don't want anyone to tab-whore just to get points; and b) I would like to have an automated process. vBulletin allows to assign custom titles based on the number of posts and days of membership, but not on tabs or score.

Discuss!

Much better. Then we won't have people bitching because they didn't get picked to have one (Transient) and we won't have rampant post whoring for one.

What I meant was, you'll have page after page of shit in the pending tabs, plus you'll have people submitting really basic tabs that somehow meet the requirements. Hell, it doesn't metter if they are good quality or not.

The required tab idea is stupid, considering that isn't what the forum is even ABOUT. Granted, yes it IS metalTABS, but that doesn't mean everyone who joins and posts here should be obligated to post a tab. Many of us just want to discuss music, whether it be their own, or someone elses. If you want to tab, fine. Thats great, good job. But you have the total tab # and Score under your name. What more do you want? Here, have an E-Trophy.

Trophy

Now get off it.
