Vote to choose the tags to go with post counts

[swerdna]

Hi all.

It's time to choose the most popular tags to display against members usernames. The tags are displayed on the left top of posts near avatars.

NB you get one entry but you have multiple votes.

The startup process was here: Christmas Competition -- New Titles -vs- Post Counts - openSUSE Forums.

The idea is to pick one or more of the sets below, then go to the poll and vote for them in one go:

• The existing set -- in case you want to keep it.

Not sure why 3 of my submissions reached the final list. I feel lizard like now - Like crawling under a rock!

I voted. But not for myself. If I did, I might as well call myself JW'. Politicians do vote for themselves don't they?

Looks like we are on course for no change or Swerdna's Susers.

It's cool under rocks, oh omniscient one

Interesting that conservatism is creeping in to make the current tags a fave.

[caf4926]

The existing set though? - It has one extra or different? 'Shaman Penguin'?

I was never one of those. I think I went from 'Wise' to 'Omniscient'

You added one to the old list didn't you - to make it eight.

Not sure it's conservatism. The old set is quite effective.
It will be interesting to see the result.

18,466 Opensuse forum members, and 9 votes so far, 6 for keeping the current tags. In other words, 99.95 of our users are apathetic, the rest is conservative or statistically irrelevant.

I guess we should learn from Blizzard Entertainment and extend the levels beyond "Omniscient Penguin" as an expansion pack. Soon available in an online store close to you:

"Opensuse Forums - the Wrath of the German Moderator"
(requires a valid Opensuse Forums account sold seperately)
45 US-$

And yes, this was a joke. I don't want to be killed by an FSF SWAT team or some such :-)

I don't think that the naming system makes a difference. Why we use the forum is the linux ethic of getting info and trying to help others.
As long as it's consistent and everyone knows what it means, keep it the way it is - a name isn't everything but how much you know or want to share with others is.

Sorry folks, Uwe is on a 24 hour ban for levity.

Looks to me like your sentiment will carry the day.

If it's any consolation, swerdna, I voted for your set.

Thank goodness someone here is sensible.
