If this thread isn't a testament to why the titles should be removed, I don't know what is.I wouldn't have agreed with this statement a few months ago. Sadly, I am starting to agree with it more and more as this thread goes increasingly off topic and on random tangents. :/I actually disagree. Admittedly this thread is filled with nonsense, which I suggest people cut down on, but it also shows that people care about their title. No, they shouldn't, but they do - for the same reason people spend hours chasing insignificant numerical representations of their worth (hai ranking systems). Humans strive status and it is in our nature to do what we can to gain it. If people care they're more likely to value their account, which should make them more inclined to behave. The more positive incentives the better, in my opinion. I think it is a shame that the title system has little influence on newer accounts.
EDIT: Okay, guys this may be a tad hypocritical considering the nature of this post but please stop using this thread for conversational purposes. It you want to banter, do so via private messages. Keep discussion directly relevant to the title system and only reply when you have something informative to add either to aid users who are confused about how the system operates or give your own observations/theories. JBSpudster is correct, it is becoming very annoying, particularly when he works tirelessly to educate others about the system.
