Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.
Aight, I've been thinking while playing some CoD, so I'd say it's theory time. Let's say the different types of prefixes are worth a certain amount of points. Such as ban related, age, average post count of a lengthy period of time, and such.
Now in those individual subcategories, there are different levels.
For example Honorable, then Noble, and finally Exalted. Now each of those has a specific number to achieve. Let's say 365 for a promotion in one of those. Each point is for each day you haven't been banned. When you do get banned, it resets to 0. If you get warned, you lose 182 or until you hit 0. Once you reach that threshold, you get a ban-related promotion.
Age wise, it goes Veteran, Senior, then Elder. Each of those have special premises. In order to get the first one, 1095 points are required. That's 3 years, because I think that's what it really is(not 4 like Duardo thinks). In order to get a point you just have to sign in for that day. You don't sign in, don't worry, you just don't get a point. Then 365 more days roll along, and bam, you just got Senior. 365 more and here comes your happy Elder prefix.
For post count is where it gets tricky. The system has to know what is considered spammy, and what is actually average. I think the average number of posts is about 8-15. That would be considered the norm. If you can maintain in that range for 1 year, let's say, then you could easily net the Intrepid prefix. 6 more months, and you get the Fabled prefix.
Absent is the overriding factor. If you don't sign in for 2 months, you automatically become absent. There hasn't been a known exception to this to my knowledge.
That explains the prefixes. Now on to the titles. As I mentioned in my earlier theory(linky), prefixes count towards the title. Let's say these total up to 1500 for Heroic, 3000 for Legendary, and 5000+ for Mythic. The prefix points are combined to get your title points. But you have to have a certain amount of points in each one, in order to move up in a title. This would explain such user titles like Noble Member, and such. They don't have enough of another prefix.
Now these points aren't just given willy-nilly. There are a set number of points in the community. Let's say every new member give 50 points into the community pool, and every deleted member takes away 40 points from the pool. This would allow a lot of users to gain points when a new game is released. We see that. This also explains the jostling between points. Some users go up, and some go down. They send their points into the community pool, for someone else to pick up.
End note: This is just a theory, and nothing to base anything off of. We cannot manipulate the system, no matter how hard we try.
