Message: [QUOTE="Shadow501, post: 239728, member: 221"] [HR][/HR] [B]Why Doesn’t a Game Translator or Modder Deserve an Official Title?[/B] With all due respect, I’d like to raise a point that I believe is important to many contributors in the community: why are members who invest real time and effort into translating games or modifying them not recognized with a visible and official title? We often see titles like "Moderator", "Admin", or "Writer Guild" used to represent roles within the forum. These are valuable roles, of course—but so are the roles of those who translate full game scripts, hack ROMs, restore or enhance original content, fix bugs, and localize games for new audiences. These tasks require technical skill, creativity, and often months of work. So I ask sincerely—why not give them clear, honorable titles like "Translator", "Modder", "ROM Hacker", "Fan Localizer", etc.? These titles would not only show appreciation, but also help new members identify who has experience in certain areas. It makes the forum stronger and more organized when contributors are properly labeled and appreciated. Now, if the argument is that there is a feature where users can set their own custom title—I kindly say: apply it fairly. If you’re suggesting I just give myself a title, why don’t admins or team members set the example first? And if that feature is limited or not visible to all members, then it’s not truly a solution. This kind of feature—recognizing contributors by their actual role—is standard in most professional or enthusiast forums. It shows respect, helps with collaboration, and builds a sense of community. Titles are more than cosmetic; they reflect the member’s contribution and help newcomers understand who’s who. I hope this suggestion will be taken into consideration. Many of us aren’t looking for rewards—we simply want fair recognition for the roles we play in keeping these games alive, translated, and improved for new generations. [/QUOTE]
