Forums / Maintenance / Suggest Ideas

According to Randomman's explination of titles you need to have either 1000 forum posts or 1000 comments to become a conversationalist. So I started to think "hey, why don't we just make it so that if the total number of forum posts and comments combined make a 1000 posts. Why not grant the user title of conversationalist?" Now I'm pretty sure you guys have a reasonable explanation for this, but I think that it's just a bit of food for thought. So hopefully you might just keep this suggestion in mind.

IIRC to reach conversationalist you needed 1000 posts between comments + forum. For example, if you have 400 comments and 600 forums posts, you get "conversationalist".

I think it was like that in the past. Now you need 1000 posts in either of them, I think it works fine that way. And in risk to sound like an asshole, it's just a title. It doesn't really matters, at all.

Still, you can get "conversationlist" pretty quick if you are a regular. And don't worry, everyone reaches conversationalist eventually.

That's why you're my second favorite moderator.

Yeah, when I was getting the mods together to brainstorm new ideas for the title system James started one of our major requests (along with the titles) was to add together certain pairs of contributions to get their respective ranks. I guess of those requests all we got was the Tag Edit History and the Contribution Equations in prep for all it (unless there is something I haven't seen yet, which I have faith in).
