Vote to choose the tags to go with post counts

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.

Puzzled Penguin
Student Penguin
Explorer Penguin
Busy Penguin
Parent Penguin
Wise Penguin
Shaman Penguin
Omniscient Penguin

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 lol!

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

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’ :open_mouth:

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.:wink:

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)

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

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.

I have to say that conram’s set made me laugh the most so that gets my vote. Some of caf4926’s are not bad either.

C’mon whych, let’s have some fun, a New Year party is coming up. The labels aren’t going to change our personalities. We’ll still be the great, knowledgeable, helpful, calm, generous, humorous, cool, handsome, sexy, and er, humble, people that we are after the label change. :wink:

Not so many voting here considering the number of users we have.

Talking about yourself again!rotfl! hehe.

Modesty restrains me from extolling my virtues - But with old age all the above mentioned tend to fade away. I’m usually referred to as : Grumpy, Boring, Disgusting (expels wind)…lol!

perhaps the wrong time of year to be doing this, a lot of people will be on holiday.

Actually that is perfect for expelling winds… Oh wait you weren’t talking about caf4926… :slight_smile:

Change for the sake of change? I voted to stay as is, but would like to know what criteria are the various levels based on?

Just to spice up the forum a bit. No big deal. I must admit I am a bit of a fan of swerdna so my pick was somewhat biased, but hey, who couldn’t like a “Cool Dude Suser”? :wink:

Oops, I misread your post. Thought you were asking why the change.

I think the criteria is the same as before (the number of posts). Someone is welcome to correct me if I’m confused.

I think everyone who voted to keep the same old set should be required to post a coherent reason for their choice in order for their vote to be counted! :slight_smile:

<grumble>those stubborn old penguins…</grumble>

An old chap called Mao knew a better way to reason with reactionaries.

I feel that based on your clarity of judgement, you should vote twice more.:wink:
