C.U.T. = Custom User Title

It's displayed just under your username. The default is "Member".

For various reasons, the forum admins will grant the privilege of a CUT to certain forum members. That person is then able to request that "Member" be changed to something else of their choosing. For example, my CUT is "Fighting the good fight".

CUTs are sometimes earned for a witty comment, an outstanding achievement, or a memorable life event. And members who have been here for at least 10 years automatically earn a CUT too.

CUT is an acronym for Custom User Title, otherwise you're "Member." Look below my name for an example. You have to earn it by, usually, amusing or otherwise impressing the owners, or you get one automatically after 10 years. You get to choose it, within reason.

There is one CUT you do not want to earn, that is "BANNED".

We are guests here and sometimes members forget that, and act a fool.

Behave as if you are a guest, because you are.

Mark your calendar for January 2027, time goes by faster than you think.

Regarding the "banned" CUT, topics that are unpopular, discouraged, or verboten.. as I remember...

Do not post about: cruelty to animals, especially cats; police shooting dogs; disparge the physical appearance of someone, for instance you can call Michael Moore an intellectually dishonest piece of shit but not a fatass piece of shit; calling Islam the 'religion of peace'; praising a God Damn Commie (GDC) provocatively; mocking Glocks in the Glock thread; profanity in thread titles; conspiracy stuff; Judea-ophobia; mocking the search function.

Forget anything?

It's OK to complain about the search function. 'cause let's face it- it blows.

You just can't complain about it in your first post on the board, that's all.

When someone passes, give them time to be buried before cracking a joke, no matter how funny it is.
I got a month in the penalty box for cracking a joke about Michael Jackson, and it was damn funny. Smile

Thanks everyone; hopefully I live long enough to achieve. How about that picture under your title ? Is that a milestone as well ?

Nope. That's an "avatar", and anyone can have one. You can customize yours in your user profile.

Or, just crack a joke or something that impresses the eagle.

That's just the avatar you choose on your own. No permission needed.

I search Sig Forum by entering this in a Google search:

custom user title site:sigforum.com

Put the word(s) first, then a blank space, and then site:sigforum.com (no space between 'site:' and 'sigforum.com')

This works on any website on the interweb.

I have searched before prior to posting so as to not jib-jab. Only to have a post closed due to already being discussed. Search function can be bad, rest of the site rocks.

A couple of other sites I frequent allow politics discussed. But they don't allow colorful language.

You can also get a cut prior to 10 years, if you make a post that Para really enjoys.
