Room Rater
Sharin' Baron
Seen It All
Stars and Barters
Been there, Done that
Keeps It Real
Oversharer

I like the first one best. ;)

I think it's a great idea, Brian.

TUGBrian said:
So Ive often pondered ways to let folks who submit so many reviews stand out in the crowd here when they post. One thing id like to try is custom user Titles.

for example you see TUG lifetime members, administrator, moderator, etc etc.

Id like to add one for folks who have submitted a certain number of reviews and want feedback on what these names should be.

Things like

TUG Platinum/Gold/Silver reviewer
Superawesomepersonwhowritestonsofreviews
TUG Legendary Reviewer
TUG Travel Writer
Lives to write reviews
came here to drink beer and write reviews, and is all out of beer
TUG Review Crew


post up some ideas, ill create a poll when we have a good selection and we can vote!
Click to expand...

I write reviews for TUG and for TripAdvisor. I am encouraged to do so on TUG, to not only share, but also be able to extend my membership. With TripAdvisor, to share, but also I'm given different "badges" and notified when I get "helpful votes". Also, they tell me where I rank as a reviewer....top 2%, etc. It's the little things that can encourage participation. :whoopie:

the monkier I refer to would indeed be assigned for those reaching a certain number of reviews, but it would be your title here on the forum.

So if you contribute to the BBS, but don't pay a membership fee (expired), or write reviews, your my title would be ?

Free Loader
Interloper
Cheap Skate
Lazy Bastard

Some of you should begin seeing your new user titles pop up as I get to tweaking this!

Right now it should include all folks with 25 or more reviews submitted...I believe ill put the cutoff at 10 reviews before a custom title is awarded.

I liked TUG Review Crew the best out of all the options!

You're welcome. ;) (Taking credit for suggesting Review Crew, even though you also said it. LOL! )

Review Crew has a nice ring to it but it's maybe too generic. Maybe you can have levels of contribution...then have a Review Crew Superstar (top ranking), Review Crew Wizard (next level down), Review Crew Star (10 or more reviews). Something like that...that way the Review Crew is everyone who submits reviews and the designations go to individuals who go above and beyond. Just my two pesos FWIW! :wave:

I did..

I chose TUG Review Crew: Elite (for anyone with more than 50 reviews) although admittedly this group is very small.

TUG Review Crew: Expert (for those with more than 25 reviews)

TUG Reveiw Crew: Veteran (for those with more than 10...but ive not yet replaced these user titles yet...there are a TON of these)

TUG Review Crew: Rookie (for those with at least 5)


am up for changing the levels if more creative ones are better! that said, if you are at elite status...ill put whatever you want for your user title =)

"Rookie" kind of carries a negative connotation but maybe the goal is to provide incentive and motivate some to get to the next level.

Ha, ok I will soon. Kudos to all the people that have reached one of the new highly esteemed award levels. I'm very appreciative of the TUG reviews and the individuals who go out of their way to post them. I'm glad you now get some recognition. Thanks!!!

If I see any of you award winners out there in the forums, I vow to treat you extra nice from now on! Seriously, well done. :)

actually still contemplating changing ELITE to something far more amusing and "worthy" of the feat of writing 50 reviews.

Demigod
Master

etc etc.
