Default A question about the MTS site?
I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but I noticed under my username it says "Lab Assistant" . What on earth is that? I don't remember ever putting it there, or is it something the site automatically gives me?

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question!
I hope this doesn't fall under the "Please note that staff will lock or delete any posts deemed too stupid/spammy/whatever" rule.

It's automatic. It's called a user title. Which user title you get depends on your post count - as you post more, it will change; there's no list and at what level you get each one though (as we don't want people to post a bunch of nonsense just to get their user title changed). Staff can have a custom user title, you can get a custom user title for donating at a certain level, and sometimes staff will change a user's title for some other reason.

Huh. I always thought I was an inventor because I made some crappy houses a while back. (And some mods before that, but those went out of date or became redundant)

Actually, I think it's influenced by that, too. It's also why your username is golden.

Which reminds me: I've got to publish a lot or two so I can get a gold username and inflate my ego some more.

Oh, is it meant to be golden? I thought it was orange.

Orange usernames are awesome I forgot what my title was, I think it might be influenced by post count or something?

Don't address the lower class, dear. We gold-texted must hold ourselves to a higher standard.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly post count. I am, apparently, a Top Secret Researcher because I cannot STFU. Pity my actual qualifications/job didn't/doesn't work that way.

Well I appear to have a rather large count myself.. must be all the s I consume on a daily basis.

I think all creators get orange/golden usernames. I do not have a lot of posts, but my name is still orange.

Me too! Does a moderator change it? Are you presented it on the Oprah Show?

Wait, what's that. It's cancelled!?!?! NOOOOOOO!!!! When did this happen!?

I had a feeling it had something to do with the number of posts you make. I just wasn't sure... So thanks!

I think the gold names are to do with being a creator, I noticed mine changed right after I uploaded my first lot. Maybe those with black names should be feeding us grapes? :P

Yes, the gold (orange) names are for creators.

I am apparently now a theorist - more evidence I post too much.

I haven't gotten ANY minions yet. I suck. But, I'll be YOUR minion, MLC. Have a grape. I even peeled it for you and made sure that it's seedless... ('Cuz iCad's buckin' for more Maxis completer-y thingies, y'see... )

I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.

*slaps self* So that was what was in the welcome pack, a minion! Mine must be sleeping.

ICad your name is gold-do not be feeding the minions grapes!

Seriously I often wonder why some people don't upload their lots. I've seen some great creations on the photo thread by 'non creators' that I would love to download!
