Yeah. But obviously the newb didn't bother reading it. And of course it's rather vague on just how you do get a custom title.

Well, you could join the Brotherhood of the Monkey and get a "Rabid Monkey" title, it's better than nothing...

Ver recently changed the requirements and you now need a minimum 150 posst AND you have to prove your depravity to him via PM *shudder* so its no longer the cake walk it was.

Hey I spam all the time aparently and I don't have a title.
589 posts? You do a pretty shitty job of spamming.
If all of his posts weren't deleted, he'd probably have double his current number.

Wong has two son's you know, and I seriously doubt he could manage to ban them in less then twenty seconds. :twisted:

[smirks] Of course you cannot. Titles are only given to those deemed worthy. You can earn one through several ways: becoming a moderator (the only sure-fire way), calling for a vote, going straight to Mike Wong. Seeing as how you have done exactly squat, and since I don't even remember any of your posts before this thread, you will not likely be given a title of your own for some time.

Basically, titles are given to the members whom everyone respects and knows.

Or like many have said you can down the dark path and become another DS or so.

Either way...not now...and not for a really long time...besides why the rush? I mean look at the great majority of title holders...they've put some serious effort and time into what they've done.

I've made a few additions to the title entry in the FAQ. Not that the newbies will read it, of course...

If you think more needs to be said, feel free to add things to the FAQ post yourself.

It is not well for one to trifle in the affairs of the ancient Chinese generals, for they have a tendency to send armies of tens of thousands of warriors after those who challenge them.

A couple things lead to that, because my posts are spam they often get deleted. Also when I was away I was unable to spam, thus another reason, and finally almost all of my posts are aparently Spam. So I put out quality spam, instead of quantity spam. And as I said in a recent thread. I have broken 400 posts 3 times, and I am looking forward to doing it again. :D

Pic? What pic? I never saw a pic! Now what would be interesting is if Ms. (or is it Mrs.? I always get confused with titles) Wong started posting. :twisted:
