Titles (Again)

[hambil]

I know this keeps coming up, but, there was talk about changing how it all worked, and I believe it was promised that the new method would be made public. Any progress on this?

I want to be a Master Coder :P

Your title is based on Modification count and install count. If you want Master coder you need to release more mods and get installs like all the other Master coders. ;)

Concerning promising a new method? I don't recall that. But I do have some ideas that haven't been put to paper (or post)....

That's fine. I wasn't suggesting it be given to me. I was suggesting the numbers be made public so I have a goal to shoot for.

I seem to remember talk about not having it hack count related, but subjectively based on staff reviewing a coders work, and other contributions to the board like how-tos and such.

Yes, definitely basing it on other contributions is something I have in mind. I personally would still like Modification count related, but including other things into the algorithm is definitely something I agree with. :up:

The titles we have are MUCH better than the post counts that were previously used. But, for what it's worth, I pay very little attention to them because I've seen the garbage some people release just to earn a title. (I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYBODY IN THIS THREAD. DO NOT LYNCH ME :D )

I think the best thing to do in a community like this is:
a) Share your work
b) Fill a request or two from time to time

I don't notice people for their titles. I notice them for their work and their ability to answer questions with intelligent clarity. I couldn't begin to tell you what title Andreas or Zero Tolerance have, but I know I respect the hell out of the work they do. And, no matter what title some people have under their name, I know that they are unoriginal hacks.

Then lets just get rid of titles if they don't matter :)

Well some Coders like to have a goal. These titles allow for that, and maybe also a little friendly competivity. Does it truly represent someone's abilities? That depends solely on everyone's personal opinions. Could there be improvements? Of course. :)

You could add like two coder titles more :p

And anyway hambil release 10 more hacks and you are master coder ;)

[Paul M]

anyway hambil release 10 more hacks and you are master coder ;)Just to tease you even more, the exact number of mods needed is not fixed, nor is an exact amount of installs required ......

[hambil]

Curse you evil one! http://www.bannister.org/ubb/mad.gif

I know but when he does that he will be definately master coder.It is a rough thought

[peterska2]

Or maybe he won't be. Like Paul said, it's very complex and is not as simple as releases and installs.

[hambil]

I think the 'mystery' is silly, but the staff seems bent on doing it that way, so, whatever I guess.

[Ziki]

Yup I don't see the point of hiding it but it makes the more fun outta it :)

[ericgtr]

The problem with giving all the details is that some people will do whatever they have to in order to reach the numbers, which can make for a lot of spam type mods. I know this has been mentioned several times though, just thought I would throw it in here. Even then, a person must have the installs in order to get bumped to the next level, that part cannot be cheated.

[Ziki]

And it isn't the fun when we don't know but still try :)

[Code Monkey]

Cryin about tags again?

[Ziki]

Uh wasn't that kinds off topic?

Anyway,whe did you say the numbers will be announced?

[Paul M]

Um, that post was four weeks ago .........

Who/What numbers ?

[Ziki]

I know this keeps coming up, but, there was talk about changing how it all worked, and I believe it was promised that the new method would be made public. Any progress on this?

Those numbers

[Paul M]

I'm not aware of any such promise, and as previously said, it's not as simple as a set of numbers anymore.
