Ah thanks man, so is the term "Active" different for Base Titles and Prefixes?

Yeah. You don't have to be active at all to get prefixes like Honorable and Veteran, all you have to do is sign in every few months so that your account doesn't auto-delete. But to get base titles, you have to actually be active, meaning: post a lot each day (Private Groups count, too), and be consistent.


What do you have to do to get veteran?

Just read the OP, "Veteran - Active member for 4 year." But you can't get Veteran, you are an Exalted Member and Exalted rules every prefix.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

Yup the only way to get vetren for you is to get banned,but you would loose all your tittle ,and have to start over so don't do that just get mythic you will be fine.

I don't think they'll add anymore colors. It may be possible that they add a couple of more titles/prefixes.
Posted by: a rascal cat
Do you think Bungie will ever add in new titles, and title bar colors?


Yeah, you're probably right...but wait. If they added new titles, wouldn't there have to be new colors for those titles?


I hope so,so yea new tittles new colors.
I think so.

"Oh you -blam!- camping whore!"
"It's a legitimate strategyyyyyyy!"

I am still confused to this day on the title system. I have been an Exalted Legandary Member for some time now but recently changed to Senior Legendary Member. I keep reading conflicting views that one is better than the other. Does anyone know which is better or if either carries different meaning?

Senior is in regards to age, exalted to lack of bans over a period of time. When it's all said and done, exalted is the highest on the list.

Does exalted really rule every prefix? What does Exalted vs Senior mean? I was changed to Senior from Exalted recently because I was warned in Reach forum for making a thread asking for a guy posting spoilers in thread titles to be banned as the PMs to mods can sometimes take awhile :( I feel bad for it.

Great. I got demoted for wrongly posting a thread asking a spoiler guy repeatedly posting spoilers in thread titles to be banned. I acted out of haste. Is there any way to reclaim my Exalted ever?

Yeas actually, If you are an Exalted member you have been here for at least three years but you also have no bans/warnings. If your a Senior member, you have been here for five years but you have been banned/warned. So sense you got warned recently, your prefixes dropped down to a senior member. (If you want Exalted back, you have to post good quality post for three years)

Sad face :( I feel awful. I know we are not supposed to single people out and never troll or spam (well except this, ironically) but only had good intentions for the rest of the community.

OK, I was Mythic for a long time and had been pretty active on the site posting several times a day. I decided to log in every day but not post at all. It took 8 days to drop back down to legendary. I will now start posting every day again to see if and when I go back to Mythic and how long it takes.
As of yesterday I am back to Mythic and I only posted a couple times a day for the past 7 days.

Just out of interest when you talk about posts, do you mean creating a thread or just commenting on one?

Both. Although I feel that threads count more towards your trust than individual posts.

How long do you think it will take me to get a higher rank?

Well your basically a brand new account to Bungie.net, and you are very active so it depends. Have you been banned/warned recently? If so this could effect you from changing titles. But it will take you a little while to get a new title, I suggest you keep post good quality post everyday.

Just keep posting good positive posts, and stay active, and your title will increase with time.

Your Post Per Day is high enough but your account age... its 9 days old. So it will be a while at least a Year for a Title and 6 months for a prefix. (so long as your not banned or warned)

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Hey look, I'm Heroic! Oh wait, no I'm not...there it is again!...nope, gone again.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Be more active, and stay active.

This happens to a lot of people when they are at the "deciding stage" of ranking up. As someone else said, just keep posting often and don't get banned and you'll be heroic. :)
