Profile/Avatar Labels?

[Storytailor]

Hello Headmasters of this RM Hogwarts,

Just a thought, have you considered creating some kind of marker that would distinguish different people's main roles/interests, aside from Sponsor/Partner and Admin/Moderator? With the growing number of people now, it's hard to keep track of who's a visual artist, who's a musician, who's actually making games, etc. and keeping track of all the posts near the commission/skills forum may soon become a bit of a controlled mess. It's a nice thought to be scanning the forums and see a post by a person, see they're a musician, turns out they have similar thoughts on horror, PM them about possible dealings together.

Obviously with overlapping skills and interests this could get rather complicated and/or tricky, but I thought I'd just throw the idea out. I had a brief vision today of just seeing a thin color bar beneath a person's profile picture (above where the mood button is) that helps cue newcomers or non-familiars - or helps them communicate - what all people's main interests or foci are (blue = developer, green = coding, red = art, so on). Obviously VERY low priority with everything you've got going on, but nonetheless, a thought. :I

I'd love to be recognized as a musician by a standardized label. Makes me feel like I'm really part of something and it would only need one glance to see what kind of talent each and every user one here has. :)

I don't think that'd be a bad idea. :D

I've seen some forums have sections like...

- RM Skill: (Musician, Designer, Jack of All Trades, etc.)​

... underneath avatars, and it can help identify members a little better.

I concur, this is a good idea!

 

[LTN Games]

Sounds like a good idea, I would like to see this as well :D

I do remember there was another (RPG) forum which had multiple levels of ribbons on the left side, so for example, Partners could also be Sponsors (bad example since you can't really, can you? Unless you multi-pay I guess...) but yeah, a person's name was coloured whichever was highest priority, like Sponsor in that instance. I think it was up to 5 things or something crazy, but I doubt we'll need that many levels!

I'll add a section where you can pick your main role/roles for RPG Maker, as stated by @Amysaurus however, I can't have it set as a ribbon unless I manually add you into that group, which would be a lot with the amount of members we're constantly getting. I'll add this to my to-do list later today.

This is a great idea. But will there still be a class for those with no specific specialty?

A jack of all trades would work for me lol, I'm not great at one thing but good at a bit of everything.

Oh you're right. Didn't know what it meant at first, so thanks for this quick explaination :D

So, we have Musician, Designer, Jack of All Trades.

What else would you all like to see in the list? I can only assume there should be some more than just 3.
