Creative user titles for TUG reviewers

So how do we get these new monikers added to show on our posts? I think I have 11 reviews but still just show as TUG Member.
 
I havent quite gotten down that far in the list yet....they will show up though I promise!
 
ive gotten down to include everyone with at least 14 reviews now....its a long list...so please be patient =)

or write more reviews! lol

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

etc etc.

How about Platinum (Contributor) or Inner Circle or Ninja or Aristocrat or Crown Club or Supreme.
 
ok..got a few more done tonight!

Everyone with at least 10 TUG reviews should now have a custom Veteran review crew title under their names!

If you do not see this under your name, it could be that your TUG membership email doesnt match your BBS email...so shoot me a PM if thats the case and we can sort it out!

You might be asking: "but Brian, how do I know how many reviews I have submitted" and thats a GREAT question!

to find out you go here

http://tug2.com

click the "login" link at the top right hand corner

then click the MY TUG link (itll be right where the login button was) and go down to MY REVIEWS.

clicking on this will show you exactly how many reviews you have submitted to TUG (this list can really only track to about 2007 sadly when we moved to the new review system).
 
got through the 9s today, so the first batch of review crew rookies should show up!
 
Thanks Brian. I saw that new, and very prestigious title by my username. Boy, do I feel SPECIAL! I mean, it's right up there with earning my Webelos badge in Boy Scouts. :)

So what happens if you have a different user name on the forums than the review area ? My names are different.

Bill
 
It actually goes off your email address.

but if that is different, ill have to sort it out manually. If you know you have more than 9 reviews, shoot me an email with the different emails you use and ill sort you out!
 
Hey I just noticed this today.... I guess I am TUG Review Crew: Expert

New goal now, double my reviews and hit the next level.

Thanks Brian
 
Hi, Brian, I think acknowledging those TUG members by the number of reviews they submitted is a nice gesture. Like so many other members, many of my reviews going back to 2000 were lost on a computer conversion. The same is true of the dozens of digital photos I've submitted showing resorts we've stayed at. Fortunately, I still have many of those photos and will resubmit them over time as the newer resolution requirements require that I reduce the resolution to the new limit, not a quick task.
Thank you for continuing the great job that Bill began so many years ago. The new format of the site is excellent once one gets used to it's workings. Keep up the good job.

there is actually no resolution limit on the server, it was more of a size thing. Which I believe is now above 3mb.

Also note that no reviews should have been lost that im aware of (least since I took over). all very old reviews are still included on the resorts, but since they were submitted in a much different fashion back in the day...there is really no feasible way to link them to active memberships today...thus these new titles only apply for reviews submitted since the TUG member login system actually went active and reviews were tracked by member login id. (07ish).

I certainly do not mean to downplay or ignore the reviews submitted in the past, but to explain how the titles are calculated now.
 
Thanks

Thanks, Brian.
I've always been a big fan of reviews and rely on them to help me with my exchanges. The perk of submitting enough to pay my dues is greatly appreciated too.
I am proud to be a veteran and striving to be an expert.
Ava :)
 
Thanks Brian!

Just noticed my new title when I read about them in the Newsletter. I always use the reviews when we are going to a new place, and usually even when returning to old favorites. (love to hear about new restaurants) Also use them to decide if we even want to go to that resort. They really are helpful, so I am happy to submit reviews.

And now I have a cool new title!

Ann
 
also note that since there are so few of you, any Expert levels can pick their own name/title if they like if you have something more creative/appropriate in mind than expert =)
 
6s are now all done and tagged properly! congrats! (whew there were alot!)
