Also, I just noticed a flaw in Duardo's theory on the "Honorable" prefix. I got warned a two months ago, lost my title, but kept my Honorable prefix. Since August I have kept the Honorable prefix. It seems we must rethink how that one works.It's not a flaw, it's a generalization of that particular aspect of the title system in which we do not know much about.
Scapegoat413 and I had a conversation about this aspect, upon finding one of Achronos' posts that explains why banned members can sometimes still keep their ban related prefixes. The conversation took place on page 242 of this thread.

I am sort of jumping the gun on this, but I'm bored and feel like typing. Also, all the credit for this little discovery goes to JBSpudster.
It's well known that Honorable, Noble and Exalted were predictable as long as someone had not had any bans. Honorable was one, Noble two, and Exalted three. What was confusing was when someone was banned/warned, they didn't always lose the title, and sometimes people gained titles after being warned and banned.
This post explains it, I believe.
The 3 ban related prefixes have different requirements, varying time and allowed ban lengths/counts. Sooo. You have a little wiggle room, it seems. I'm guessing it's a ratio of some kind. I don't want to get into exact numbers, because I really don't know much, and I'd just be making them up, but I think it's a safe guess that as you get higher up, you are allowed fewer warnings/bans before dropping down, and Exalted may allow 0 bans/warnings.I appreciate the credit, but I didn't really discover this. If anything, we both just uncovered an overlooked aspect of the title system. Although, it is really interesting to me that this wasn't found or mentioned earlier.
Just to summarize what this means, under certain circumstances people can keep their ban related prefix even after being banned, where as in the past it was just assumed that bans always remove the ban related prefixes. If I'm not mistaken, it was Pro Kendog who kept his Honorable prefix after receiving a short ban, and now we know why. ^_^
EDIT: Perhaps the OP should be updated with this new information?Not too complicated, but the OP of this thread is a bit outdated now that this information has been 'rediscovered'. ^_^Perhaps the ban related prefixes have more to them. Meaning retaining them has a different criteria than earning them. Once you've got a prefix like honorable, it's possible that the important factor becomes a ratio of bans/warnings per post? That would actually make sense... no it can't be that easy.
I actually do agree with that idea. It seems pretty sound.
