Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Do bans affect member titles? just wondering.
Yes.

I have been a member for more than a year and have not got a heroic prefix or title or legendary title.
The Heroic bar is a title, and you have to be active to get them. So be around more, and don't be a bad boy.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Time is just one factor. By itself, the length of time you have been a member is a small factor.

So this could very well mean that diversity among the forums could raise your trust rating.
I believe it is diversity in all your Bnet activities. The more consistently you use the sites features, the higher your trust rating will be. The whole system is designed to reward members who participate in the manner intended.

So you think that the older the account the quicker the ban wears off? or is it a compulsory period of time to serve?

I'd assume the older the account the faster a ban wears off. It has more trust points, because of that age.

Exactly. I know people who have been here for three years or more, post every day, and are still normal members. Patience and activity are key.

No, not ranks titles. Ranks imply that you wold get some kind of power from them, and getting more spam does not count.

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.

Maybe it's being unbanned for a year, but after that year, getting banned with X number of trust points or higher lets you keep it?

Not exactly, for using that logic, Forum Moderators, which is a Title, would not give you any powers, when it obviously does. I see what you mean, though. They're titles because you do not gain any powers from member titles. I think I could be able to consider Moderators as having a different type of title, since it overrides all basic Member Titles and Prefixes.

You get what I mean. Oh how is this. With the exception of the member title of Forum Ninja, or anything higher, there is no gained power from receiving a new title. Yes you get a shiny new title bar color, but whatever. YOU GET WHAT I MEANT!!!!

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'. ^_^

I would say 15+ is relatively high. Although no one knows exactly how many posts per day is needed for Intrepid.

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's very possible, although I don't know if there could ever be a way to test if that is true.

So far I know of two individual users who kept their Honorable prefixes after just a 3 day ban, and I have seen about three individual users down-grade from the Exalted to Noble after a warning. It seems obvious to me that the higher ban related prefix you have, the lower the 'ban : time without ban' ratio is (i.e. higher ban related prefixes are harder to keep after a ban/warning), but it doesn't seem to be on a linear scale. Whether or not a post ratio is included within that calculation is any one's guess.

I got a 2 3-day bans and still kept mine.

^Neither are correct. Just look at any page in this thread and learn about what a trust point is, and then come back with any questions.
So how would you explain a member that is a mythic member but has recieved a ban/warning and lost their title, yet less than a month later they are already back upto mythic?? Obviously they must have had some trust points left as the ban took less time to wear off?

That would actually make sense... no it can't be that easy.

I actually do agree with that idea. It seems pretty sound.
