    Special "titles" for users, what do you think?

    Hello everyone! Chemichael had the idea that we should make new user titles for our members! Like one title could be "Green Thumb" or something like that. Right now they just say "Junior Member" which is pretty boring!

    Do you have any ideas or suggestions for titles? Should we make titles based on the number of posts? Or maybe we could do something where people get a special title after they harvest their first grow or something like that!

    I've never been in a forum with an active title system and I would love to hear suggestions from our wonderful growers on what you think might be fun! No wrong answers! You are all so creative

    I like the idea of a promotion sort of after the first harvest! And then maybe the number of post. But to be kept at a pretty decent count or people will just post post post until they get there!

        Maybe a progressive thing as well, give credit for members who post a lot. Make names a different color the more post one makes. I would like to see the names along the lines that you have started NebulaHaze...........names from out there in space, I'm sure there are a lot of them. We could all start out as the name of a new star - nova.

          Sonnyhad That's a really great point! Maybe instead of how many total number of posts, it could be based on how long you've been a member, or how many likes you've received. That way you can't abuse it by over posting

            I'm so glad you brought this issue up, because I have something else I have to suggest: Over the past month, I have seen quite a few posts by beginners who are overwhelmed by issues they don't know how to solve. It stresses them out a lot.

            Sometimes the thread kind of digresses into other issues and the newbie doesn't really get clear, direct responses to the problems s/he is confronting. Would there be any possibility of having a special section on the forum called HELP!!! or some such thing? It could be devoted specifically to PROBLEMS people are having, and allow newbies to get the help they need asap. I don't like to see these issues get lost in the crowd as the forum grows...and grows...and grows...

            RE: Titles: I like the idea of this forum being a great democracy among us all--masters and mistresses of The Grow, in-betweeners and newbies. Not so crazy about the idea of a popularity contest based on how many likes you get... Likes should be spontaneous.

            I'm quite happy with my red bars, which indicate that I have put time and energy into the forum.

            Also, for people who just signed up, maybe we could make a bunch of choices to choose from like "Soil Grower" or "Space Cadet"? That way even if you are new, you can still get some choices to share your personality.

              I think that is right track. I know I am not worried about a tittle. Mainly I am question master, but some of fellow growers got the answers. I am happy with that. If you have to earn a given tittle I imagine there could be downsides

                Having a choice to pick from is a good idea I think, get everyone to think of a few and choose the best or worst haha

                    As as far as number of posts I agree. Not by quantity. I also think general milestones should upgrade title and also some members should even get special titles.

                    General titles for months or longevity of membership.


                    Got this idea just now....


                    New Members are Bag Seeds
                    after time time, seedlings
                    and more time, Vegging Around..
                    more time, Florist, Or Budtenders


                    Special titles for certain members based on Likes or specific type posting contributions, knowledge etc.
                    So Little for example - I would Call him or her, SOL. And only Little is SOL because he or she wakes us up every day with a morning or afternoon post. If not SOL, something Beginning- Opening... like Mother Sprout - ok im nuts but you get it...

                      Since I post all the time I don't think titles should be by posting..I over post...I will continue to over post and it is mostly photos. Doesn't mean I'm useful.
                      i would like to see new growers ( as far as that can be known) rewarded and encouraged by their effort and research thru the GWE site and forum.
                      "likes" on the forum are not as active as let's say Facebook where you also know who liked / commented.
                      it might be useful if under the avitar is a (optional) code for who grows how, it could be several with current predominant on top
                      And as Green says " Confirmed Harvester"...determined by a measure of consistent posts determined by GWE...i.e.posts of 1 (?) grow to include: 3 stages of veg, 3 flower, 3 harvest, 3 cure? With photos of course.

                      How that hat would all be tallied via the internet..I have absolutely no clue!

                      this will be an interesting process!!!
                      much love as always GWE
