I was a Heroic member up until about 4 days ago. My gamertag unlinked itself, and I could not relink it. This brought my status down to member. Now that the whole ordeal has been fixed, I would like to ask for my status back, since I did not receive any warnings, blacklists, or anything of the like.
Did this happen to anyone else, and is there any possibility of me getting the status back?Member, Heroic Member, Legendary Member, and Mythic Member are titles given by an automated system, calculated with a complex algorithm, and supposedly measure how trustworthy you are. This issue may or may not be fixed, because it is all done through the automated system. Unless Achronos would be willing to change those titles for individual members who experienced a bug during that time frame, it is very unlikely that the system would "fix" itself.
In a way, I agree with you, but I also agree with Recon Number 54. Since the system changed your forum title from Heroic Member to Member for no apparent reason (meaning not on your part), then it would only be right to change it back, thus serving as a reward for being a trustworthy member. However, a forum title does not change who you are and you must acknowledge that. If my forum title was changed to newb, I would not complain or question the reasoning because I know that I am still CrypticGuardian. In my opinion, users should not look at text from a Mythic Member differently than text from a Heroic Member.
Every member serves an importance throughout the Bungie.net community, some more than others. When users read your posts, do you think they care more about your forum title rather than the content of the text itself? We are all equally important here on Bungie.net because if it wasn't for each and every individual member, there would be a Bungie.net community. Be thankful for that and also having the opporunity to interact with others that share the same interests that you do. Ignore those who look at users by there title, and follow those who look at you as a person.
