MKJoshA Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I am still fairly new to EB, only having been active for about a year now, and I often see members with tags. You know, those little, colorful icons underneath peoples profile pictures? Well, I've been fortunte enough to earn 1 myself already, but I was wondering, how do I earn more? Is there an index of contests that will allow you to earn a tag? A second question I have is about the "titles" (not sure if that's the correct name for it) underneath certain people's profile pictures. I've seen it for new members as well as old and I was wondering how those are given out? Does something just stand out to an admin who then gives a user a "title"? Quote
Freddy Bricker Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Hello MKJoshA, tags are usually given out after you joined a contest or participated in some sort of event. Titles are given by the staff upon special recognition. Basically if they think you're funny, active, or did something that brought you to their attention, they'll give you a special little title (usually funny) under your avatar. But asking for a title is pretty much like guaranteeing you won't get one, staff likes to hand them out by surprise, and to those who accept them but don't really ask for them. Hope this helped.

Lord Vladivus Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Tags are awarded for things like being great at MOCing (the MOCexpert tag), the old timers tag, being active in certain sub-fora (like the Star Wars theme tag) and contests. Titles are given out at the whim of the staff, and range from acknowledging achievements, to teasing about misspelling, and all sorts of other things. Mines from ZC after a discussion about the geography of Historica, where I backed up kabel. There's a pinned topic in the Community forum with past titles of members, worth checking out. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 You can take a look here to get the SW fan tag Quote

Regarding tags, please see the pinned thread here. Titles are discussed in the thread which was immediately below this one in the board index ... until I merged it. Please read carefully before asking! Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Sorry about that! I looked around but I didn't see anything. Don't know how I missed it Thank you to everyone who answered me though! I really appreciate the response! Quote
kevkipo Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Everything is all clear for me thanks to this Forum :P Quote
Yzalirk Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Okay, so titles are given out by staff, okay. I wish I had a title but I suppose I'm not that important! Quote

Quote What is the short caption under a member’s avatar? Just like tags, personalised titles are awarded to chosen members for noteworthy contributions. Please don’t ask for one, they are given at Staff’s discretion. Titles Q&A Quote

Sir Brickalot Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Ooo, if it works for Behemoth, can I be a copycat and ask very nicely for a title, can I, can I? *puppy dog eyes* ... Wait, am I a dog or a cat? Quote
Yzalirk Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Now you have one I feel like such a beggar now! Quote
-Horizon- Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I like your title, lego3364. :) Thanks, I got it from asking what was a member title. Quote
m0dulo Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks, I got it from asking what was a member title. Hmm... I found this thread because it showed up in new content / not read. Not looking for a title at the moment, slowly backing up... LOL Quote
HomerJSimpson Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I was wondering if anybody could please tell me how to write a member title. I don't know if i have to be in a certain group (I'm a Citizen right now), or if i have to do something on my profile, or something else. Thank you for your help. Quote
Yzalirk Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Member titles are awarded to you for certain occasions. Mine is well... just funny. Quote

I don't know if i have to be in a certain group (I'm a Citizen right now), or if i have to do something on my profile, or something else. Thank you for your help. There is a thread about this just a few lines down. I will merge this with that. Please do check the forum before posting, or use the search function, thank you. Essentially, you cannot write titles, they are given out only by Mods and Admins, at their discretion, and asking for one usually fails. Quote

THERIZE Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Don't know if this is bumping so if, oops What does 'converses with adverbs' mean? Quote
GallardoLU Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Don't know if this is bumping so if, oops What does 'converses with adverbs' mean? its from your thread "Talking to much" the word "much" being an adverb and the phrase "talking to" is defined as conversing. Quote
dr_spock Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Don't know if this is bumping so if, oops What does 'converses with adverbs' mean? You used "to" instead of "too" and it has been noted by Staff. You can post your new title in the Member's Title Archive thread for future prosperity: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43598 Quote
9v system Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Ooo, if it works for Behemoth, can I be a copycat and ask very nicely for a title, can I, can I? *puppy dog eyes* ... Wait, am I a dog or a cat? NO..... Wait I can't give them out it is up to the mods you should be able to get a technic tag like the starwars one Edited July 10, 2015 by 9v system Quote
9v system Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 No, but keep that up and I'll give you access to a special forum... What special forum? Quote
