Why is my thread title changing?

@DaveEmme.

I think I got your opinion loud and clear.
But be careful if you cite othrs.

@sylumer and @martinpacker are also regulars an we know each other a bit.

Their replies do not actuality ar push back.

On the othe hand I count many users who do not disagree on mt prefixng or marking their thread.

I would really love if more people would share their opinion.

I will think about it. That was one reason for starting this thread.

Cheers
Andreas

I want to add that I did not invent the idea.
I have seen it on many threads from others

like this

On some threads Greg himself used it.

I would argue that the tags system with emojis are better

  • they are not so intrusive
  • they are more visible through the emoji but easy to add
  • they are clickable !!!

By looking through the forum I found that the search therm does not work well with it

@DaveEmme I’m afraid you’re in danger of misrepresenting my position - by quoting me…

… The reason I asked my question was to encourage standardisation. I think @sylumer was following my line of thinking - though I don’t want to put words into his mouth.

And what @Andreas_Haberle is doing here is worthwhile.

(I looked up who was at Level 3, like me, and it’s a small number of people who have made sustained positive contributions here. I’m proud to be in their company.)

I looked up who was at Level 3

Since I’m still learning about this Discourse feature: how can you do that?

(I might be ā€œblindā€ because I mainly use Fig to engage in Discourse forums)

I don’t know. :slight_smile:

Because I am Level 3 I saw some link to who was at the same level. It might be privileged information - but I hope not.

(And I, for one, am not the kind of person to feel superior at Level 3.)

@_rob This lookup is done by the Discourse badges

another way to ā€œevaluateā€ is to look at the users profile page by taping on the avatar two times
you will see a page like this one:

Thanks for that link; I had not figured out that a level is just another badge.

PS: Fig shows the level behind the username in a post

This is optional. I may be bragging about it :cold_face:

Thanks all for your feedback

I hope that I will read more of @DaveEmme and @_rob in this forum.


I leave it to Greg Pierce to give the ā€œverdictā€ on that topic.
But you might have noticed that I undid my title changes.

Yes, sorry to be absent from this topic, it was a busy week.

For now, I think it’s best that as a matter of course regular users only change titles or posts they did not originate where it is a valuable clarification (e.g. title did not match the content), or to correct a typo/error.

The intent is very good to help keep things better organized, but a little more than we need here for now and a little confusing, especially for new and infrequent visitors.

I’m not opposed to using tags for some of that status tracking if people find it helpful…but I’m also not going to publish a style-guide insisting on it.

Thanks Greg.
I think I forgot the view of new users and how they think about a change from another user.

So I will stop changing titles aggressively and use this ā€œsuper powerā€ with the new mindset.
