(Priority comes into play only when a user qualifies for more than one member title)
Here is a question for everyone; would having the ability to choose which prefix a member wants be 'icing on the cake' so to speak?
Let's take for example that when a user is eligible for the Noble prefix but they have the option to choose the Honorable or Veteran prefixes instead be 'better'? For a practical use, I doubt their is one, this ability would really only have the merit of allowing users to choose a title for themselves should they be eligible for more than 1.
Would this be a nice addition to the prefix system? Or do members, as a whole, prefer the automatic system? For some reason I was having a hard time conveying this thought.
*Note* - This idea may have already been discussed.
The way I see it, the member titles here have essentially two purposes. Mainly, they are just for fun, but they are also somewhat of an incentive to play nice on the forums. If you allow members to choose what title they want, a part of that incentive disappears.
In my opinion, If members were allowed to choose their own prefix, then there would have to be a large incentive to keep it / not lose it, or else members might not care about playing nice as much.
