You are referring to role being displayed on the forums, right? Because that's what I'm talking about.

we're no strangers to larpKnights of Dex has been a thing for awhile. It seems to be a project by @Barto for contributors to help with the site more consistently without stepping on eachothers toes.. Probably.. I wouldn't know since I'm just a stand-in contributor who was forced into the role.
you know the rules, and so do i
how dare you correct Banana, even if he was wrong!
From what I understand, there are/have been 12 people who got the Knights of Dex role. It's been marketed as a Contributor+ role which are considered more trusted when it comes to metadata fixing.
You could also say it's Knights of Bart, since he's the one who gets to decide who gets the role, so.....yeah. 😅
And no, time means nothing. Just like the contributor role, vibes (and in this case Bart's whims) pretty much decide if you get the role.

Ah okay. I thought the display order in the mainsite and the forums were the same. I guess not...

Also, I just noticed @Trobilobada is no longer VIP on the main site. Guess if he ever logs outs he'll lose the role on the forums.

When is he not?
The thing is, this isn't the first person to lose their VIP status either. @Roler also did in 2025, if I recall. @Manko-sensei

Just to preface, I'm not saying this screenshot is related to why he lost the role. I just didn't have any screenshots of @Roler with VIP except this one.Don't you just love NamiComi?

Trobi lost his VIP role (for a few days he even managed to have mod privileges) during the loli incident basically for trolling (he reported himself and was automatically kicked or banned for some time from MangaDex Discord), but if he did so was because he wanted to put some distance with MangaDex staff. As for Roler, they also lost their piss colour role during that time, there was also that disagreement but, in case you don't know/remember, they aren't happy with the ongoing situation either. But yes, they're using MangaBaka guidelines and stuff while whatever NamiComi member is gatekeeping the metadata.When is he not?

A timeline no one asked for, but some might be interested in:
The special KoD channels were created on Nov 10th 2025, with an introduction message pinging the first batch of KoD on Jan 20th. These users did have the KoD role at that time, though I'm not sure if that's the day they actually got the role.
Manko-sensei asked for and got the forum title on Feb 5th.

Some users decided or were convinced to help later, so I wasn't the last one to get it while I was in the server. Me getting the title was more or less when I said "if we aren't getting a new role on the main site, can we at least get the custom title for the forums?".
Yeah, from what I can tell you were part of the first batch of 8 KoD, so over time 4 more joined that group in two separate batches.
Your exact words were:
Which I thought was pretty funny.
And I think the response when you got it was:
Which I found even funnier if it was in response to that (and if it wasn't, it'll be my headcanon that it is).

Many thanks to recover that from the chat. Yes, it was a good motivation for getting those entries changed faster (it seemed it was a different mod who did it, but it turned out Barto did it in secret).Yeah, from what I can tell you were part of the first batch of 8 KoD, so over time 4 more joined that group in two separate batches.
