Subject: FAQ on Bungie.net Member Titles / Prefixes / Bar Colors

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

It feels as thought this newish account is a lot harder to title-up than my old one.
It's not even 4 months old, that is very quick to get to Heroic. It seems to take around 8-12 months for most people from what i've seen.

It will stick eventually though, you are active enough.

I was thinking maybe the Heroic was an accident.... ?

No it's not that, you are just on the border of it. Your trust points increase over time and make titles more secure. 4 months is very little time to build up trust so titles will come and go easier.

Group posting seems to make Intrepid and Fabled much more easier. I never posted in groups, and I don't think I am anywhere near intrepid then. Veteran is much cooler anyhow.

It's true, posting in both the mains and private groups makes them much easier to get.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut posting in groups doesn't work.

Check you post history. See anything from private groups? Neither do i. Ergo the only posts that are recorded are posts made in the main forums.

That's not true. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean that they're not recorded. As a matter of fact, just being in a bunch of groups jumps your base title up much quicker. While posting in a private group may not count as much as a post in a main forum, it most definitely does count towards fabled or intrepid.

Just because you can't see a shadow ninja doesn't mean they don't exist. But probability has it that they don't.

It's been discussed before but posts in private groups don't count towards post-count related titles. It can't be completely proven but i'm pretty sure that to get Intrepid and Fabled you need to have the required amount of posts on the mains.

And there is a huge difference between base titles and the prefixes. As prefixes are based off activity and ban history, not post count. But activity for them is all around activity. If you're an active part of the community in and out of groups the system will notice that and reward you for it. It doesn't care about your posts in private groups.

And come on now. Even if a post in a private group counted, it would only count as one post, not .5 of a post. A post is a post, the system isn't smart enough to determine quality.

Loooooooooooooool

"Exalted Mythic Member"

Lets dissect that title.
Exalted: No bans or warnings for three years.
Mythic: Active for 3 or more years with solid ban history.
Member: Member

All of those can be achieved without posting in the mains once. I guarantee you that if we could see his or her full title history on bungie.me it would go like this:

Member
Honorable Member
Noble Heroic Member
Exalted Legendary Member
Exalted Mythic Member

Any active user on average gets Fabled before they qualify for Exalted. If they post on the mains.

Yes, I know this.

I've actually seen it been proven before that they DO count.

Going back to what you said as to how your posts in private groups aren't counted, that's not entirely true. If you take a look at someones post history, sometimes it will say that their last forum post was on a certain day, but if you look in their post history, the time of the post was before what it says on the profile, but someone could have posted in a private group later. Meaning that it DOES count private group posts.

And besides, I barely ever post in the main forums at all. I almost never do. I've only been posting in private groups a lot. And I got to fabled fairly quick.

Bungie.me has my back, it only shows posts in the main forums.

And you post more than i do kiddo.

Lol, that is so inaccurate. There are plenty of days on there where it just completely skips the data, so it looks like there are weeks at a time where I am off. While in reality I practically post everyday. But even then I really don't post much.

I have witnessed a test of the theory that posting in private groups ups your title before. The user reached more than 100 pages of spam and still hasn't received anything higher than "member".

Although we haven't gone to page 1000 or 10000, it would of taken way too long and until it's actually done we can only conclude it as a theory.

I'm pretty sure saying that doesn't help your case.

Well if a person really was doing that, they should definitely at least go to 1,000 to see if it really works. 100 is nothing.

You sure about that? I really think fabled requires a lot more posts.

2500 posts is a lot more than you think. If you want to prove the theory, be my guest and make a new user account, never post in the mains or only post rarely, and spam all you want in this group.

Well... who knows? I mean, it's pretty hard to tell the difference from a "High Post Count" and a "Very High Post Count".
