Title: Rank/title Suggestion
fabb - May 29, 2006 05:59 PM (GMT)
May I suggest a new set of titles (pip/posts-based) that would reflect train travel versus air travel?
Considering the suggested rank for a Newbie, can the minimum for pip level 2 be lowered? Thanks.

Hey!
Those are pretty good! I was getting dizzy....am I on a train, a plane, a spaceship, a steamship? :blink:

But I'm a Business Class Rider - and I don't want to be changed into a Station Agent! :blink:
Seriously, I'm cool with it. Great suggestions actually!!! :bunny:

Wow- thanks Team! The posting ranks are in place - and I like that you tweaked the terminology too! ILoveJay: Agents somewhat own the (E-Train) Station while the Business Class riders just act like they do. Heheh. :rockon:

Good suggestions!
By the way, how many posts go with each rank?

I see they're in effect now...thank you! Wonderful suggestion! :D
EDIT: Well, it's also been tweaked a bit. 7 pips, instead of 8 pips, qualifies as Rail Operator?

we couldn't use ETrain Conductor since that's the group that the moderators belong to. we're still two levels short so we welcome more suggestions.

Wow you have a custom rank, your own name. Cool. Ask for "Rail Nomad" instead :D
Oh, the Groups are a different classification of members - it has to do with forum powers. The Admins are ETrain Drivers, the Mods are - as loth said - ETrain Conductors and the rest are Passengers. I'll take "Cabin Cleaner", anything to get a ride. Heheh.

Hey Fabb, for the longest time I couldn't figure out how I got my own name under my avatar. Whatever you put in area can't be changed once it's done. When I joined, I must have typed GypsyNFla in that space, so I'm stuck with it.
nikobie - May 30, 2006 02:56 AM (GMT)
Can we have train cars instead of blocks :D
Not that you have anything else to do.

Nah, not something you did at registration. Hope FPTB see your concern and fix it on their panel. (Sorry, I know you're all busy!)

In the stupid/ignorant question department, what is a "pip"?
fabb - May 30, 2006 04:52 AM (GMT)
It's not a stupid question...lol. I used to call it "thingymajig"! A pip is the under your avatar to indicate how much you've posted. It used to be a 
but the Admins have customized it for the E-Train, yay! Thank you, and also for Gypsy's rank title fix.

Oh, I get it! :) How many posts correspond to a pip?
ILoveJay - May 30, 2006 05:39 AM (GMT)
I'm now a Rail Pass Holder, instead of a Station Agent. I think my level went down, but I'm sure the admins adjusted the tiers or something.
That only means more great things to look forward to. :cheerleader:
Thanks! I actually like it better!

sorry, ILoveJay, but we had to raise the post requirements per level since everyone seems to be on a posting spree. :)

Thanks for the train cars pips!
