Subject: Can I have some special Title other than member? Please answer!

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit,
Wisdom is knowing not to put it into a fruit salad.

BOOM!!! HEADSHOT!!!

Ok so I have seen things like "theme master" "B.net superuser" etc. under people's avatars. I know some of these titles are impossible to earn (such as "content monkey") but I would like to know if there is any title you can earn without having to work for bungie or anything. If so how can I aquire this title. I would love to know not for any reason just to know what is up with this stuff. You can never know to much. thanks.

No, you're right, knowledge is a great thing, and I'll quickly give you the real answer before a bunch of sarcastic, secretive answers come flooding in.

I suggest that you check out Bungiepedia for more information on titles and security roles, but I'll give you the quick rundown here.

All titles are given to either Bungie Staff or former Bungie Staff (such as "Overlord," "Content Monkey," "Avios Custos," "Certain Affinity Guy," and so on) or to members of the community who have distinguished themselves in one way or another (such as "Forum Ninja," "Theme Master," and so on). The only way to obtain titles is to work for Bungie or distinguish oneself by being a great Community member, creating a group theme, or otherwise.

Even so, titles are rarely given to bungie.net users, and so you should seek to be unique here on Bungie.net by the content of your words rather than the title under your avatar.

Hope that helps :-)

The rarity of the titles is what makes them so valued. If everyone could have a title then the titles wouldn't mean much. The only way for a average joe to ever earn a custom title is to create a theme that is accepted by Bungie and then you'll get a theme master title and custom avatar. Also I suppose you could be selected to be a Ninja but the odds of that are VERY small.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

Here.I'm not sure how different it would be to make a theme after the "New-er Hawtness" came out.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

The best thing you can do is report problems to moderators, post professionaly, use correct grammer (j/k grammar) and don't spam.

No, you're not special. You're just another random, Garden Variety, generic user that nobody cares about.

Unless, that is, you do something to prove otherwise.

Meh.

Titles, schmitles.

Creating real and useful contributions to this site and this community is a reward in and of itself. Striving individual matters toward selfless goals is far more admirable than a title. Respect via actions is better than admiration via a different title and/or different colored text.

The point of this board is to learn about and to interact with the various nuances of this community. Being that its based on Bungie's games, that's the paramount thing on which we can all elaborate, but there is still more to it than that. Plenty of users are respected because of the posts they have consistently made. The only people who regard those of us with fancy titles and all that are new people, and that's only because we look so different than everyone else. If we deserve any respect whatsoever, it should be because we have proven ourselves to be good contributors to this community. Everything else is just superfluous. Everyone should be respected, but only those who have shown their worth should be admired. That's totally subjective though. Being that its one of your only real freedoms, I would never tell you whom you should admire, and who you should not. Its your choice to make, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Now that my compulsory rant is out of the way, I'll try to answer your question.

You may get a "special" title if you accomplish something that the web team can even notice. Such as creating a theme for the private chapters on this site. We don't have a themebuilder yet, so it looks like you'll all still have to wait for that. Other than that method, you could be chosen to become one of the bungie.net staff. Most of them are Forum Moderators, or some variant of that. And, to give you a bit of advice, don't even bother to ask how you do that. This is all you really have to know about that.

Other than that, you would have to be hired by Bungie themselves, and then be allowed to post on the forums. Which is possible, but that's not really my department, so I'll leave it at that.

So, to summarize, "special" titles are nice, but they're not needed if you really get what this site is all about. Just have fun being a good member. Never take your eyes off of that.

Dangit. That wasn't supposed to make me laugh. D:

I think everyone who deservingly deserves a special deserving title certainly deserves to deserve one. The question is, how would one go about deserving such a reward?
