Hi guys. I know I've been fairly inactive lately (I apologise so much for that :(), but I wanted to propose something. It's been noted that the "Titled Users/Acknowledgement" secion of the Staff page has not been in use. Although general consensus is that we do not need mods at the time, I believe that the following users should be acknowledged by granting them Titles:
In addition, I nominate Henry for rollback. He's one of our hardest workers, having created or rehauled many of our weapons, armour and location pages. In all honesty, he deserved rollback last year, before I recieved it. At the very least he should have a title. Support? Opposition? Comments? | |||
I support the giving of titles to these users, I have been lurking around and I think they deserve the recognition. Also, Henry should have rollback. He also deserves it and I keep forgetting that he does not have it. | |||

Other than the Henry part, I oppose this. We already have one empty position of no power on the Staff Page, we hardly need to expand on another. In fact, it was never made clear to me what a "Titled User" was. Under what circumstances do you attain it? Do you have any new privileges? Is their a point to it other than saying "thanks"? Because if you really need to say "thanks" to people, you might want to revive Awards instead of giving them meaningless "Titles". | |||
The Titles are from way back when, before Rollback existed. | |||
I support Yuan's suggestion with the exception of replacing Dazuro on the list with Silver, or at least to include her on it. I also think Henry should've received rollback months ago. @BlueH: This is not about giving any sort of power. It's about recognition. These users have been very helpful to the Wiki and they deserve the credit. | |||

Well that's fine. A noble endeavor. But being on the Staff of this wiki implies some sort of expanded authority, even if it barely exists at all (Rollback). A Légion d'honneur is probably what you're thinking of, not a title of authority. The same can probably be said of Rollback as well, now that I think of it. | |||

Henry deserves rollback rights, definitely. Also agree with all current titled user nominations. How "exclusive" is this titled user recognition supposed to be? I think the name is rather lacking, since it carries no title. More of a "recognized" thing, really. I see this as a weay to show appreciation for people who have contributed a lot and aren't staff members. Which makes me think that there are a few more people that I feel should be thanked. Silver and Dazuro haven't been on here for about a month, so.. :/ I think Xenomic, Jeppo, BlueLionheart, Otherarrow, and Gamer2127 should be recognized if we're going to see it as a thank-you, as those are the people that I think should be thanked. So that brings up the point: How often can we nominate titled users, and does a B-crat or simply an admin need to give the OK? I'm interpreting this more as a "staff member likes" rather than "community shows support for" thing, which.. I think is kind of wrong o.O | |||

Agreed. I know you guys don't respect my opinion, but 8bit is right. It shouldn't be just up to the staff to decide who gets recognized, but rather all of the community who cares. Problem is, it could turn into a giant popularity contest. Maybe it should be up to our large group of editors who have proven themselves? Anyways, I support Henry getting rollback since he long deserves it. I also support giving acknowledgements to Silver, ScatheMote, and BfD. Xenomic, sorry dude, but I don't think he's been around for long enough. It was also on his talkpage that he was thinking about leaving, but that's most likely irrelevant. Peace out. | |||

Don't worry DSS, it's not your opinion we don't give a crap about. | |||
