Right now, members who have the privilege of custom rank titles can only change their titles every six months? Is this fair? Should it be more often? Less often? Should they be able to change their rank titles more often to start off since there are only a few members who have the privilege and change the time-span when there is a gradual growth of members with the privilege?
What are your thoughts?
Your opinions count, and moderators want to be fair so what we discuss and what will happen may be two different things.

I think that they should be able to change their title when ever they want, I dont understand why they shouldnt be able to. Maybe start to put a time limit on once we get more people having that ability, but since we only have 4(?) right now, I dont see why they cant change it when ever they want.

Hmm.. well after speaking to Kit, I can understand at the moment why there is a limit on custom rank titles - as no offence - there are people on here who may be inclined once they reach that point, to change it every other day and harass a Mod because of it.
I think to be fair, a time should be set, regardless of how many people have custom rank titles, so although there are only 4 people, it wouldn't be right I don't think, if they could change it every 4 days, but once more people reach 9,000, it moves up to 14 days or something like that.
I'd like to see it being maybe every month a person could change their titles.
I'd also like to think that people will choose their titles carefully, and not just choose something on a whim, but choose something that suits them, so it maybe that they just wish to amend their title slightly (I myself wish I had re-phrased my title).

Well I kind of agree with both Darky and JF on this....is there any possible way to make it so the users themselves can change it, instead of having to PM a mod? Just a thought.....
Although I don't think they should be able to change it any old time at the moment, a little more frequently, as JF said "Every month" would be nice.

The Mods simply cannot set aside time to go through and change the titles for members whenever they want, because sometimes it doesn't seem like it, but the mods do have their own lives and we also do other important projects on the forum, chat, and tag so just getting interrupted to change a member's title every few days will set off our "groove" if you may.
Do we like the every month idea? Even with only four people and once a month, it idea makes me cringe, so maybe every two months?
And no, Elven Archer, unfortunately members cannot change it by themselves, because the forum was not even made for "custom ranks" and all that jazz.

I picked 2 months because I think that if they want a change, members should be allowed to do it, but I also disagree because they should put time into picking something they're happy with. Every five minutes should not be allowed, not even five weeks. If they didn't really like their title, then they shouldn't have chosen it.

2 months is fine with me. But it's really not THAT hard to change member titles from the admin panel. My forum's also phpBB and it takes me about a minute to create and edit ranks.

Exactly. And if some people get the urge to change their titles as often as their usernames.... ouchies...

That'd be really annoying... and that would totally take the fun out of having a custom rank title too

I think six months, at least. However, maybe there could be a small "grace period" where people who newly reached 9000 posts can sort of experiment and change it maybe once or twice in the first week or something. But when they settle on one they have to keep it for at least 6+ months.

I like your idea, Taurquende, but it'd be difficult to keep track of who recently turned and can do that and I want to keep as simple as possible, and I do insist of the custom rank members to THINK ABOUT their rank title before pming us.

I am wondering if we should have some special rule for people being able to change their custom rank titles with the balls. Basically, just being able to change it for the ball, like the username, and then be able to change it back afterwards.
