Can I get a title? Or do I have to do something first?

No, at this point you haven't a chance in hell.


At the minimum you need a post count of 2000 and to have made a significant contribution to the board. A custom title is a reward.

Some others mods and Great Old Ones of the board have custom titles with less posts but they're an exception not the rule.

Act like a fundie, be an asshole, spout bullshit statements, etc, and you will get the custom title of "Village Idiot". It is probably the easiest to get.

Yes, you can, once you have enough posts. At your rate of 0.67 posts/day, that'll happen in about.. oh.. 7.6 years.

Or send a PM to Lord Wong saying " Earth is 10.000 years old and was created in seven days" :twisted:

There are three ways:

1. Make a significant contribution ot the board, like becoming a mod or something.

2. Become a well-known member, with a 4-digit post count.

3. Spam, flame, and spount nonsense, and you should get a VI title in no time, but I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that.

If we had a female mod that might work. I am assuming he's straight. Too bad we don't a have a female mod.

That wouldn't stop some people.

The title-seeker could be a female.

That'd work and I suspect more than a few mods would be willing to give titles for that. However I don't think Grifith is female.

The only way of assuring success would be going to the ultimate power himself, since Lord Wong is the only one able of giving titles. And, even if he wanted to, I think he would have a hard time convincing Rebecca he has never heard of that "AdmiralKanos" guy..

Trust me, if you've got a custom title and a sub-100 post count, it's nothing to be proud of. At best, everyone thinks you're an idiot. At worst, you're a Hall of Shame denzien and on your way to Bansville.

No.




Try asking again after you've done something important.

It almost was, but some people argued that the JCM title is something to be earned, and then you can look to earn a custom title.

Hell, I can't get a custom title yet. Ask again when you get a lil more than 2000 posts.

Extremely short answer: no.

Short answer: read the FAQ.

Note: sleeping with a mod won't help because we can't hand out titles.

589 posts? You do a pretty shitty job of spamming.

Wasn't this issue put in a sticky or in the FAQ sometime ago?

The only people with low post counts who get custom titles are mods and people who have helped me out with my website (eg- Rob Wilson, Brian Young, Lord Poe, etc).

Apart from that, there is only one person who would get a custom title right off the bat, and she doesn't plan to register.
