I doubt that creating topics would influence you title?!Oh it definitely does. When i was on the border of member and heroic every time i would post a thread my title would shoot up to heroic. I did it multiple times, so it wasn't a coincidence. So long as you don't get banned, warned, or your thread gets locked, you should get a pretty big boost from posting a thread.
That's a pretty bold statement for only being based off of one sample point (you). Not to say that you are wrong or anything, because no one can be 100% sure about anything at this point, but how can you be so certain that your title jumps were solely attributed to creating threads?
Personally, I think that it is less complicated than that. I think that the system counts a created thread and a reply to a thread as the same thing, both for public forum posts and private group posts. This just makes sense to me because it would be a lot less complicated for the Web Team to design, and a lot easier to just link the trust calculator function solely to the "submit button" rather than a string of buttons. That's just my opinion though.
Also just to throw my own personal experience in, I've only created one public forum thread in my entire stay here, and that was over a year ago. I also have a relatively low public forum post count, so according to your theory and based on those two facts, shouldn't I have a lower title than what I actually do?
