    So I heard from a certain moderator doggie that Mods can customize peoples titles. So I thought, to replace certain lost assets(THE SHOP), maybe we could sell titles?

    like

    1.000 minerals: commodore
    3.000 minerals: generallisimo
    5.000 minerals: secretary of defense
    10.000 minerals: mineral *****.
    (titles president not to be taken wholly seriously)

    So, would you buy titles? How would you imagine it works? Maybe every title also upgrades (well, is manually changed after sending the mod a PM) depending on post count(the mods would have no free time with that though, but we could probably find someone willing to help out).

    Er correction to that, I didn't notice that the section is called view user profile, unlike, for example edit avatar... and there isn't a save button so even if I put anything there I can't apply it so it's probably an admin-only thing, sorry :D

    The sales though could be an idea, although I'd prefer the shop over this. This is just extra burden on staff while the shop is automated.

    What exactly would we need to get the shop working again if we never get that code?

    He meant the license key to reactivate the shop's software.

    Well Kuvasz was right. it's an admin only option. I think it's a pretty good idea though, and I don't really have a problem with changing people's titles. I'd rather it just be used for more customized titles though, like "spam lord" for ijffdrie. Anything like general might just confuse people with our default titles, so depending on what you want, i might just tell you no.

    I'll talk with a couple other mods and jon too, and we'll see about pricing options and how exactly it should work, but only if there's a decent amount of people who like this idea. I don't really want to bother setting up a system for one or two people.

    We need a poll in here.

    EDIT: Voted for "depends on how it's done" because I'm not sure if the titles should be prefabricated or unique to user request. If they were prefabricated, then they might as well come from the shop and the cost should correspond to the user's level. For example, Cannon Fodder users could only buy a few low level titles, while Praetors could buy pretty much any title they wanted from the list.

    If it were per user request, then it might as well be a flat mineral cost that's easy enough to gain (1000-2000 minerals). The only problem I can see with this option is that mods could become insanely rich if enough people ask for title changes.

    Customized titles would be nice, but i dunno with all the minerals you need for it.
    (I want a cool title too!)

    You'll just have to take my word for it when I say that the relevant thread in Hyperion is dead. I'm only a mod so I can do so much. Let's hope fox doesn't wait for like 5 positive responses but goes ahead with it.
