Marshal Hangtree Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I notice lots of members have "tags" under their alias like "Sass Wire Vet", or "Member", and other things. Where do these come from, and what delineates which "tag" you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoky Pistols Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think they come from the moderators. I believe they have the ability to change them, either on a time schedule or as they see fit. Ex Alpo's tag of "Perpetually Perplexed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perro Del Diablo Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think they are secret codes for the moderators. This way they know who is the trouble makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 There are some defaults that are set by the software and based on number of posts; Sass Wire Vet and Member are two of those defaults. There are some however that are set by the admins, for example "Hummingbird Thumbs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The Mods can't do these. Only the Admins. I have hoped for the tag "Master of the Universe" for a very long time but....I guess I am only worthy to be a "member" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few updates ago, they quit changing with a specified number of posts. I used to sign my name Allie Mo (no e). Then one day, Black Harris gave me Vet-e. I gave a few. One person didn't like his. So, I removed it. I confess that I gave and took away Blackwater's. I don't even remember what it was. I don't remember why I removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Are you the type that would fire up your amp and start blasting metal in the outhouse because you were digging the acoustics off the wooden walls? Or are you the type they would wait until great aunt Susie was in it, and then go try to tip it over? Which kind of outhouse rocker are you?

JHC The original Wire which did update a time or two when I was on it but we didn't lose post counts. Somewhere between the time I stopped writing and when I came back in the very recent past an update deleted all of my old posts. Which is fine because when I came back I got a bonus and a pay raise, probably double or triple what you got............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nubbins Colt #7802 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 As a fun aside, among the many skills I picked up, more or less, in Navy Intelligence was the ability to follow someone undetected. When doing it as a member of a team the "target" might be passed along from street to street as part of the avoidance of detection. This is all done via various communication devices. The euphemism used for the person who is the target of the surveillance, at least back 20+ years ago, was "package", as in "the package just crossed Main and Elm and is headed to North Tenth Street". Somehow I think the term "package" is not quite that useful any longer.........BICBW...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
