Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

You are right, Nedge, that a healthy portion would, but certainly you must be able to understand that there would be ample members (all members, not specifically the Member title) that would demand the quick-fix way of trying to cheat the system. I see three particular ways of them trying to do this.
1.) Complain, complain, complain. Either in groups, on the public forums, or in peoples' PM boxes.
2.) Trash-talk those who have the privilege, directly or indirectly, claiming they don't deserve the reward because of so-and-so.
3.) Try to "boost" the system; claiming they are good community members, or, much worse, by creating alternate account(s) to "proclaim" their goodness and contributions.
Each of those are able to be countered in their own way, but I just wanted to bring them to everyone's attention.
Although I'm sure it would convert one or two of them; my remark was half sarcasm. As for your points, yes they would happen but seeing as they would all decrease the odds of those people getting what they wanted I don't think they would really cause a problem.
Or I could be completely wrong and it would the first step to the demise of the forum.
Oh, no. I'm not too worried about them being successful in their attempts (though one or two may come close at best). I just think it would be annoying if it were to happen.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
