I Was Wrong!

You guys really need to get on top of those tags on avatars, they're becoming messy and completely disorganised, I really feel bad for any new members coming into VGchartz because they are almost an inside joke rather than a way to actually tell peoples roles on the site.

Is there any of the ambassadors left doing that role? See Conegamer is marked as one but not been online in almost a year, has it been that long since someone paid any interest to the ambassador program as to review them? What is a "beta tester" surely any supporter should have that tag as well if it's referring to the website since they use the redesigned front page...

Even in this thread alone you have "Gay Triarchy" "Rueple" and "Backseat moderator" worked onto avatars do you guys honestly not see any way that a new user to the forum would be confused seeing these?

Also.... I was wrong to make this post in this thread, but felt it on topic to again the inside chuckle here at "as long as it confuses users to thinking X is doing Y role"

Let me have my tags. They are descriptive and I do my best to live up to them.

If a new user gets confused by them, they can simply ask me. I am backseat moderator, after all.

New users shouldn't have to consult you about a confusing tag you've amended to your avatar, there is nothing special about you to expect new people to come to you as a gatekeeper for an explanation of your tags, if everyone done that the place would be bedlam.

You have a tag which literally suggests you have been appointed by the site to have the role of someone who can break forum rule 9 (c+d) do you not see any possible issues with that? Think about it, a new user might see your tags and think that backseat moderation is something which can be rewarded with a tag for their avatar if they are good enough at doing it...

• Backseat Moderating in the forums will also be treated as spamming, as it will derail the topic and conversation of the thread. You are not a moderator, so if you do feel like a user is breaking the rules, report them and move on. Let the mod team handle moderation.
• Examples of backseat moderating include statements like "Reported." "You should be banned for that." "I give you a week tops." "I've been banned for less." and the like.

Dear lord do I understand the irony of this post, and for that I'm sorry!
