    • There's no need to insult everybody just to get your point across.
    this is one of the dumbest and most pointless things here. title is pretty damn meaningless compared to donator and staff ranks, and unlike those you don't really actually gain anything from having a title, nor does the community have to give anything. Obviously it's an issue when staff are being constantly annoyed to change people's titles, but a pretty simple solution to that would be to just LET PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR OWN CUSTOM TITLES. titles are very different from username. Username changes can become bothersome, obviously. Just look at my name, which was approved by a staff member, but imagine if I coulda done the names I really wanted without staff intervention? Like I'm saying, titles are completely different. They don't matter like names. They're a fun thing for people. Limiting them to just staff is stupid and exclusive. staff has always had the popular kids mentality, and if anyone disagree with that ur dumb. Personally I'm very passionate about these dumb fuckin' titles. They're fun and my life is very sad and not fun. Plus obviously they allow the community to be a little more creative which most of you fucking meme-regurgitating assholes fucking need. Be original god damn I hate you. This why idc that all those 1/11 kids got banned cus they just had that same popular kids mindset to an extreme, and literally ALL THEY WOULD DO, was repeat memes in their exclusive circle. I like them all individually, sure. Quite a bit, but as a group, fuck 'em. Also who cares about a ban I've been asking for a goddamn ban for years. Point is do something cool with your titles if ya got 'em, ya. And if ya don't got 'em do something cool if ya get 'em, ya. I'd also like to point out that, PERSONALLY, all these short inspirational quotes that staff been doin' as their titles for years are garbage and that needs to stop cus none of them fixed my depression or made me get a real job (I cam now I have sex with my girlfriend over webcam for money, and my dad is not proud of me). So really if I see that inspirational quote shit just know that PERSONALLY I think you should go fuck yourself and not tell me how to do my shit in one sentence by some dead-ass old fuck who didn't even know what a smartphone was.

    Point is let's end this stupid shit and allow people to make their own custom titles without being staff or asking staff. It's absurd and if I do not hear back from an admin+ about fixing this then I am leaving. You've already fucked me severely by giving me a 30 second cooldown on status updates, I don't even play gmod, and I don't care enough about any of yall to stay. But I do like titles. So fix this shit or I'm going to hack the server and ban myself fuck you

    • Don't drag this to personal lines. There's no need for insults.
    Well this post is a fucking trainwreck.

    Originality? In 3 words? Yeah okay.
    The only people who will upvote this are people who don't have custom titles, and maybe a few ex-staff who want to change theirs. The point is tho is that it's a perk of being or once being staff. And like you said,
    These "fun titles" are not going to cure your sadness. There's literally no reason to have them. The fact you have a custom title is beyond me.
    Nobody cares if you leave over something as petty as custom titles. All you do is complain about your life anyway (i.e. this exact post). You even said it yourself that you literally don't play the game nor care about any of us, so why would we care if you leave?
    Not to mention that status updates basically act as custom titles for non-staff. There's no reason for this. Let the staff have their custom titles who gives a fuck.

    I can't support a suggestion that has no solid ground, as well as threatens the community, and the user who posts it clearly doesn't even give a shit.

    Yeah, not really a fan of this. Custom title's are the only momento you get to keep for you to remember the time you were a staff member here. It is basically a small little reward and a thank you to those who have spent hours of their lives on a gmod server. The whole point of it being staff only would be ruined if any old person could join and set one instantly.

    It is fine the way it is.

    Truth be told, this sounds more than a rant than a suggestion.

    Though on the topic of your suggestion, titles are pretty easily changed as they do not have the same impact like usernames.
    I would see people changing their title like a status update on facebook/whatsapp or whatever. Some would update it often, others would not touch it.
    The largest issue to me is that changing a title can only be done in the admin panel which means you have to be a mod or above to grant title changes, just like name changes.
    Combined those two points I made above and it gets troublesome as some people would request daily title changes or even a few times a day. With Xenforo, titles do not work like status updates.

    Another point I'd like to touch is the simple fact that volunteering to be a staff on SGM means you spend at least 20-30 hours every 2 weeks on just the servers. That doesn't include time spent on the forums or other moderation duties, which can also amount to quite a few hours above the already long hours that's just done out of the kindness of their hearts. As many of you know, being a moderator doesn't grant you any luxuries on the forums nor on the servers. You don't get any extra perks, the only 'perks' you get is a lot of added responsibilities, accountability and honestly said a lot of disgruntled people who are angry at you.
    There's just one exception that's currently only for staff and those are the titles. That's the one thing staff have that other users do not have. And as Pacifist said, it's a great and only token that you have from your staffing period.

    We have Perma Bans for that. You don't need custom titles also.

    I'm in the 'couldn't care less' camp. The hell do titles actually matter? The whole staff momento argument confuses me. I thought we were supposed to remember fond moments, friendships and the good we did for the community, but I guess the real prize is a silly title. +1 to the suggestion, -1 to your approach, Drunk Dog.

    A lot of other forums have Custom Titles as a donator privilege and it's not a bad idea to do that way. It just gives another incentive to donate and is pretty cool to have. Argument about staff exclusives is kinda loose and out of place imo because staff should have pride in having fun with the players and spending quality times with friends rather than having an exclusive club and circlejerks. This is a similar boundary that led us to abandoning locked staff-only TS channels, although this is more on the perk-side than that decision was. Regardless though, this is a very small decision that upper administration has to make, and it's just about setting the mood more than anything because it's a minute issue and probably don't see changing because the staff-exclusives are what benefits staff and their voices are louder than regulars about these issues.

    I would welcome it not even as a donor perk, ( not that it's a terrible course of action to take ), and a reward you earn through activity on the forums. Reach 'Well Known Member' status, etc.
