Yes, be very careful...

Notice how Big Mike changed just one letter in his own title to throw you off...

He may be Greek but he is really a Drunken Geek and the second title can be purchased from the warrior title mill for $37

I thought you meant one letter in his username...
BigNike.

They certainly are big shoes to fill.

Good point Mike. I thought that senior warrior member meant they had been here longer because if I remove my one underneath it says hyperactive warrior -very true lol

I did not know that thank you that makes things easier to understand mr geek I mean greek
-WD

So are you sayin when I used to have Internet Goddess under my name I wasn't really one

That sucks

[DELETED]

Oh I know exactly what you mean Mike, I have had this argument on so many different forums before and will probably continue to have it long after the internet has been switched off lol

I have always argued most vehemently that anyone who has the trust of the owner or the admins if they are a forum mod or senior/distinguished member gets a unique tag that no one can copy...that is of course if the senior members actually do any moderating.

Of course here apparently we are all moderators so you have no right to say that I cannot put whatever the hell I want in my tag :p (joking)

If someone is a mod, they get a tag. Make people able to see who are trusted or simply take the mod powers from everyone.

Never been all that partial to secret police or self confessed paragons of the forums when anyone can claim the role.

thanks for the heads up !! it does confuse me a lot because I always thought the area on the left is OFFICIAL... but I did figure out I can assign any title to myself.. no need to earn it ... :-)

I have a moderator tags in another forum and we are the only ones who are able to change our member titles due to this problem coming up time and time again...you have stated so succinctly why this is so :p

By the way, on my forum my tag is : I had a cookie, but I eated it. (A reference to lolcats)

I guess I'll have to stop using "Big Mike Jr." in my Title =(

Thanks for this another thing i didnt now, i shoudl go in now and change mine to the Smexiest Scouser in all of Scousepool Lol

There must be some kind of default, maybe left over from the old forum? I only say that because I haven't touched mine, and it's not empty.

another forum made me my own group. 'Forum Pet'
It never ends

Good post, Big Mike. Maybe some ambitious person should take all these "what to watch out for tips" and make a sticky or an All-in-one thread.

Maybe it's time for another round of word substitution fun. trusted --> untrusted. It could make for an interesting Friday

I seem to remember signing up and mine said: active warrior

Now it reads: hyperactive warrior, and I never changed it.

There must be something to do with how much a person posts.

Damn, Rod. I always thought you were the Conversion STD.

I think I'll post to see what mine says. I haven't noticed.

Edit: Ahhh ... I see. I'm a senior. That explains the memory lapses.

:rolleyes:Ohhhh I am an advanced warrior . woohoo so what am I advanced at I wonder:confused: Oh that's right I can tie my own shoes I am advanced shoe tier guy

LOL

I was nominated...but I can't remember why...LOL

If you use the warrior pro you can JV with the WF, with Warrior Pro, and also be asked to be the WSO of the day.

It is interesting that one of the WSO of the day, is the same WSO Jack Tackett was talking about yesterday which was telling you to break copyright law.

I wonder if the only thing which is considered for the WSO of the day is the number of sales they have. I would have thought to endorse a product they should at least read it to make sure it is honest.

May be it is a good idea to publish the default titles somewhere and ask the newcomers to go through the list.. Still better, make this thread as sticky and ask the newcomers to read it

Thanks to write about it, i just aware of it after read this thread.

Wow. I never thought about the effect that these titles could have. Prior to reading this thread I had "Platinum Level Warrior" figuring that everyone would know it was a joke.

I've now seen the error of my ways.

BTW IMHO DogScout has the BEST title EVER.

Hey Big Mike,

Good topic here, I'll add my own thoughts...

I think the mods should have some rule on
self assigned titles. I know we are a marketing
forum,having some kind of space for promoting
ourselves should be alright, but when it's already
misleading, then that's where the FTC errrr....I mean
the mods come in...

It's just a title, I know but here's what I felt about
each title I earned in this forum.

each forum assigned title I earned here..was sort
of like an accomplishment for me..Not because of
having more prestige, no..I felt some kind of personal
accomplishment along with it..

The best feeling I had was when I turned Senior
Warrior Member last Dec. 24, I was so happy, it was
a day before Christmas and I felt it was one of the
most valuable gift I got for Christmas..

Not because of prestige or anything, but because I
knew that I've learned enough about Internet marketing,
enough to earn that title. Enough to stand on my own
and be confident that I'm a Senior Warrior now..

Somebody with enough experience to somehow make it
online..

I didn't created a new thread announcing it..I didn't
giveaway some PLR or stuff, I just celebrated it by myself
congratulated myself and had some drinks..After all it's just
a title..what matters is what we learned here..What we
are now capable of doing after we earned that Senior Warrior
Title..

So again, maybe some kind of moderation of self-assigned
titles will be alright, just to protect the people here....
But that's just me..

All the best,

Now maybe folks will quit telling me they just KNEW they had seen me somewhere before...!

I trusted everything he had to say because I thought someone from "on high" bestowed the title of "Drunken Greek" to him.

Now I know...

What about these titles under username ?

- "Want extra income ?", "Make money quick", "I follow u follow". These types of titles are attractive for newbies.

[DELETED]

Thanks Mike - that is good to know. When I work out how to thank you on that post, I will!

Cheers
Rob

I don't really pay attention to the post count as I've seen more than a few "advanced warriors" whose contribution to this forum are literally 5 word nothing responses.

I also think the "WSO of the Day" is incredibly misleading to newbies who trust this forum and have yet to learn to do their 'due diligence' around anything involving marketing.

I thought "WSO of the Day" is linked to warriorforum? Have stopped buying WSO for quite sometimes, lost track of what's happening.

Just to clarify ... I am a hillbilly warrior . Considered village idiot but didn't want to offend the other idiots out there .

For those who don't know what the WSO of the Day is, and isn't, the announcement posted on this forum is here: http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ays-offer.html

"Each "WSO of the Day" will have been personally reviewed by us and/or have been selling well and getting great reviews from Warriors here in the WSO forum"

and the statistics for WSO Pro are here: WSO Pro - The all-in-one WSO sale, delivery and management system | WarriorPlus

From that you can come to your own conclusion as to what the designation signifies. It's not, as one person stated today, a matter of being chosen from "thousands".

Thanks for the heads up Mike!

Mike, thanks for the heads-up... BUT....WE should use more often the report button.

Even for those small things...

Just sayin'.

I was actually quite surprised when I saw that you can change your title right from the get-go.

In many forums, you can't do that until you've reached something like a minimum amount of posts or thanks/rep.
