11) "How do I get a custom title?"

quote:

There are several different types of special titles.
First off, truly customized titles are generally reserved for Moderators, ArchKnights, and the forum beta-testers. ArchKnights generally have "Arch"-something somewhere in their titles as well as the forums where they work.
Second, there are some titles that are granted for doing something really cool or winning a contest.
Third, there are titles that go with group membership -- such as Advanced Roleplayers.
Fourth, there are titles like Helpful/Creative/Friendly/Constructive, which are granted, respectively, to people who are very helpful and go above and beyond the call of duty to aid their fellow forumites, and to people who really wow us with some cool art or writing.
There is a guide on this subject in the Crucial Forum Information board: Forum ranks/groups/titles

quote:

Helpful/!: This title is given to outstanding forum users. To earn the title, they need to be both helpful and have a good attitude. People who actively seek the title will likely not be rewarded with it as "title-seeking" is discouraged. This title usually comes with avatar upload (at the moderator's discretion). A variation of this title is the "Very Helpful/!" title.

Creative/!: This title is mainly given to members of the creative boards (Creative Arts/Legends and Lore). In order to receive this title, members must not only be creative, but also helpful. This title usually comes with avatar upload (at the moderator's discretion). A variation of this title is the "Very Creative/!" title.

Friendly/!: This title is given to forum users who go out of their way to be kind and friendly to other users. They have a positive attitude and are actively participating in the board. They do not meet the requirement for a Helpful title but, because of their contributions to the community deserve recognition.

Constructive/!: This title is given to forum users who consistently contribute in a positive manner to the threads they post in. They have a positive attitude and are actively participating in the board. They do not meet the requirement for a Helpful title but, because of their contributions to the community deserve recognition.
