Support NeoGAF

[JimmyRustler]

Now I've been wondering this for years now.

I always though this is some kind of a privilege for mods and certain VIPs from the industry and/or veteran members here on the board but this morning I saw a thread from someone that is 17 years old, join date 2012, who had custom member status - and that doesn't really fit into what I thought is needed to get it.

I tried to Google this now several times but never found a clear answer to that question. Even the FAQ here only states that an administrator has to enable that (which was obvious).

So please, GAF, tell me, what's the secret? I gotta know, once and for all.

[NEOPARADIGM]

One of life's grand mysteries.

 

[Volotaire]

You don't have GAF Gold do you?

 

[xenist]

You need GAF Gold for that.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

The first rule of custom gaf member status is.....

 

[Deaf Spacker]

You gotta get GAF Gold man.

 

[Riki]

Blood sacrifice.

 

[marrec]

Do something really cool or really stupid.

Usually "custom member statuses" (or tags as we call them) are linked to something very stupid and are used as a shameful reminder of that fact.

So either beat Evilore at a pool match ban-bet during a GAF meetup or masturbate in your sister's room with the headphones not plugged in while she's sleeping. (Did he get a tag for that?)

Your choice.

 

[OriginalThinking]

You mean tags? GAF Gold, my man.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Get a tag son.

 

[Makai]

You just PM bishoptl daily.

 

[kehs]

tag thread?


tag thread.

 

[alr1ght]

It's a secret to everyone.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Not sure what's wrong, OP, I can change my tag just fine.

 

[Moff]

apparently it helps to be female

 

[FullMetaltech]

Shhhhh OP. You may be already dead for asking.

 

[MBR]

You ask nicely, like, "Can I have a tag please?"

...
Can I have a tag please?

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

 

[Lumination]

Special master race reporting in.

 

[Aiii]

So not worth it, OP.

 

[John Kowalski]

You mean get a tag?

Are you comfortable using fishing lures?

 

[CrankyJay]

Three ways:

1. Kiss ass to a mod
2. Be obnoxious
3. Be an overall consistently good poster

I must have been obnoxious to get this ridiculous tag, I still don't know wtf it means.

[devonodev]

You gotta find the line between posts that'll get you banned, and posts that'll make you famous. The two are not mutually exclusive.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Actually, you just have to hover your mouse over your tag to reveal your hidden tag.

 

[Platy]

It is kinda like High School nicknames.

Or do you have to do something incredibly embarassing that will hunt you forever ....or you have to be friends with the big popular guys

 

[braves01]

I just wish I were a normal member again :-(

 

[JimmyRustler]

Not sure what's wrong, OP, I can change my tag just fine.

.......

That GAF Gold talk is also off. I tried to Google that too. There is no such thing.

 

[Jea Song]

I did the right thing

 

[strafer]

do something

 

[Confrontation]

So either beat Evilore at a pool match ban-bet.

I'd do that. And give him a 7-0 frame lead in a best of 19.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Maybe this will be one of those rare threads where the mods hand out TAGz like candy?

 

[thequickandthedead]

Not sure what's wrong, OP, I can change my tag just fine.

I thought only admins could? You're just a lowly mod.

 

[marrec]

I'd do that. And give him a 7-0 frame lead in a best of 19.

He'd probably just perma-ban you after a farce like that.

 

[Stat Flow]

Cry for it.

 

[Nameless]

OP, what if I told you that somewhere on this forum there's a very large box, and whatever you imagined, whatever you wanted to be in it, when you opened that box there it would be?

 

[Servizio]

Hello.

 

[Alcotholic]

Wait in line like everyone else. No cutting!

 

[Simon Belmont]

Not sure what's wrong, OP, I can change my tag just fine.

Just another example of the mod class lording it over us plebs.

 

[RedShift]

You gotta go fishing.

 

[Confrontation]

He'd probably just perma-ban you after a farce like that.

Lol damn. Didn't think of that.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Hello.

lol, now that's hilarious.

 

[dionysus]

Even some of us who have them don't know why or what they mean.

Actually, you just have to hover your mouse over your tag to reveal your hidden tag.

Cool, didn't know this was possible. Are you the only one on the forum or do I need to compulsively mouse hover over everyone's tag?

 

[Malyse]

.......

That GAF Gold talk is also off. I tried to Google that too. There is no such thing.

But no really. GAF Gold.

 

[DrForester]

You have to cash an image hosting site.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Actually, you just have to hover your mouse over your tag to reveal your hidden tag.

That is some freaky shit. Legit shook.

 

[SliceSabre]

Just be a really cool person and poster.

 

[Platy]

[TheContact]

Sometimes tags aren't always positive. It's just something that happens. The best ones are when people get unjuniored early, like AAA Ether

Tag fishing thread? Tag fishing thread.
