A question about the MTS site?

[Bird]

I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but I noticed under my username it says "Lab Assistant" . What on earth is that? I don't remember ever putting it there, or is it something the site automatically gives me?

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question! :p
I hope this doesn't fall under the "Please note that staff will lock or delete any posts deemed too stupid/spammy/whatever" rule.

[HystearicalParoxysm]

It's automatic. It's called a user title. Which user title you get depends on your post count - as you post more, it will change; there's no list and at what level you get each one though (as we don't want people to post a bunch of nonsense just to get their user title changed). Staff can have a custom user title, you can get a custom user title for donating at a certain level, and sometimes staff will change a user's title for some other reason.

Huh. I always thought I was an inventor because I made some crappy houses a while back. (And some mods before that, but those went out of date or became redundant)

[Bird]

Thank you. :)

[haricots]

See? I'm a scholar. I know, I'm genius.

*eh*

[ElementMK]

Huh. I always thought I was an inventor because I made some crappy houses a while back. (And some mods before that, but those went out of date or became redundant)Actually, I think it's influenced by that, too. It's also why your username is golden.

Which reminds me: I've got to publish a lot or two so I can get a gold username and inflate my ego some more.

[maxon]

Oh, is it meant to be golden? I thought it was orange.

[Sparklycookie]

Orange usernames are awesome :) I forgot what my title was, I think it might be influenced by post count or something?

[paksetti]

Oh, is it meant to be golden? I thought it was orange.

Don't address the lower class, dear. We gold-texted must hold ourselves to a higher standard.







(although yeah, it's probably orange)

[haricots]

Don't address the lower class, dear. We gold-texted must hold ourselves to a higher standard.
Thou shalt not spoke to those worthless scum! 'Tis bad! We are on higher class!

*run from all Mods*

DON'T DELETE THIS POOOOOOOOST!! ><

[maxon]

I'm pretty sure it's mostly post count. I am, apparently, a Top Secret Researcher because I cannot STFU. Pity my actual qualifications/job didn't/doesn't work that way.

[KKiryu007Joker]

Well I appear to have a rather large count myself.. must be all the :llama: s I consume on a daily basis.

[Chicken0895]

I think all creators get orange/golden usernames. I do not have a lot of posts, but my name is still orange.

[BlakeS5678]

Pft, field researcher? *Mumbles about always having to go out and work in "the field" while everyone else gets to stay in the AC.*

[Rawra]

I'm a Theorist. :heyhey: Though the first time I saw the title, I thought it was "Terrorist".

[VerDeTerre]

... and sometimes staff will change a user's title for some other reason.

I would love to know under what circumstances that occurs!

[BlakeS5678]

I would love to know under what circumstances that occurs!

Me too! Does a moderator change it? Are you presented it on the Oprah Show?

Wait, what's that. It's cancelled!?!?! NOOOOOOO!!!! When did this happen!?

[Evairance]

I had a feeling it had something to do with the number of posts you make. I just wasn't sure... So thanks!

[joandsarah77]

I think the gold names are to do with being a creator, I noticed mine changed right after I uploaded my first lot. Maybe those with black names should be feeding us grapes? :P

[maxon]

Yes, the gold (orange) names are for creators.

I am apparently now a theorist - more evidence I post too much.

You mean you haven't been assigned a minion yet? :blink: I've already worn out the first 2 and just acquired a third. (Them are some mighty big grapes I be eatin.)

[BlakeS5678]

Oh, god. I'm next!

But, seriously guys. Don't be hatin' on us black names.

As Martin Luther King Jr. once said. "Don not judge one by the color of their name, but the intelligence of their posts"

I haven't gotten ANY minions yet. :p I suck. But, I'll be YOUR minion, MLC. Have a grape. I even peeled it for you and made sure that it's seedless... ('Cuz iCad's buckin' for more Maxis completer-y thingies, y'see... ;) )

[joandsarah77]

*slaps self* So that was what was in the welcome pack, a minion! Mine must be sleeping.

ICad your name is gold-do not be feeding the minions grapes!

Seriously I often wonder why some people don't upload their lots. I've seen some great creations on the photo thread by 'non creators' that I would love to download!

[mustluvcatz]

But, but..she was feeding ME a grape. And my name is GOLD!!

...trying to steal my minion is what you're doing...some people!

[iCad]

Not only is your name gold, but you've got the GOLD GRAIL OF GREATNESS. Something that I, in my lowly, eternal-minion, Hey-I-just-recolor-stuff state, will NEVER have! :lol:

*feeds MLC more grapes. And some strawberries. Strawberries is good*

[joandsarah77]

But minions seem to be in short supply!

Shh iCad, I'm only a lowly lot builder, but we don't need to say it aloud.

Mustluvcatz you can have your own special pillow and cup, but minions must have a black name. Blake looks kind of lazy; he can be the official grape peeler for us all.

Yes, it is indeed hard to find a good minion. That's what teenagers are for. But don't tell them I said so.

I dunno, even though my username has the Hue of Goldenness, I'm quite happy to be MLC's minion. Keep her well-fed and she'll make more cool stuff for us lot-building pee-ons-- I mean, PEOPLE! Then I can mutilate them with recolors. (That new kitchen, MLC, is dangerous...)

[piggypeach]

Lab Assistant Gold-namers... UNITE!!

[joandsarah77]

Gee thanks iCad... Also I am now stalking your journal.

Personally, I think it is because of the mod que. I understand that it's there to keep the quality of the mods here at decent levels, but I think we all know it's a bit of a hassle. When your are tired as hell after custom building a house, you take one look and the long list of requirements you have to read and decide to do it later. Then later turns into never.
