Will we ever see some new member titles (Part of or not part of the trust system)?

The people that do see titles as an incentive for good behavior, they are doing it for all the wrong reasons.
I don't think anyone does anything purely for titles, but if it gets results then it justifies the means in this case.

Member titles are a reasonable reward for good behaviour. It's very rare that I see anyone put more weight on the opinions of higher members. I barely notice titles or coloured bars, and it wouldn't bother me if the disappeared.

However, I do think the effects of titles on the community are positive for the most part, with the possible exception of the people who come here to complain when they lose their title. Imagine the outcry from these people if titles were removed...

I believe the community would be worse off without them. People need to get some sort of feedback for their contributions. If they don't get some sort of gratification, they stop caring.

I completely agree, even though I posted something saying otherwise earlier in this thread.

That's one of the reasons why if you're using bungie.net polls to collect any kind of real data, you're completely insane.

Why? Whats the point of having titles?


So you can distinguish who has been here longer and has more trust.

This won't do anything for you. You shouldn't agree with Bungie just because they say so [or should you ;-) ]
As long as you keep your post accurate and mature, your opinion will be respected.

I think the titles are a good thing, if you want a higher rank, be more active, etc... Although it could be changed a little, where post count is weighted less. A button for mods, etc.. could be added if you post was informative. For example, take Duardo's explanation of member titles thread, Once a Mod saw it, they would press the button, which would have the opposite of the report button. This could be expanded to members as well, being able to say this is a good thread, the opposite of the report button. The "Good Thread" Queue could be visible to mods, just like the Report Queue.

Not at all. I could care less when I become a Heroic Member, and I don't expect to get it anytime soon. There is no way I can try to get a higher title, because I don't know a lot of how the trust system works.

If you read the full OP, you would see that I gave a suggestion as to where they should be placed if not removed.

It is obvious that I believe that all users posts should be looked at equally, and I'm not the kind of person that "just leaves" things the way they are, if I believe something can be improved, or changed. I will say it.

It's starting to become some what obvious that you tried to get a title and couldn't so you tried to get rid of them period by posting this thread. That's just my theory. Just leave it the way it is.

Any possibility of changing some factors of the trust system? It's to focused around join date, and whether you have been blacklisted or not.
No, those are the only things you've seen affect it. I doubt they're the only factors.

I know this may sound crazy, but if titles have no meaning to you...... IGNORE THEM!

Like I said, crazy.

Alright that makes sense. The people who don't want their titles taken away will be less likely to do something that will get them blacklisted. I get it now.

I like member titles. I find them to be accurate to a person's forum activity/behavior.

Unlike most of your opinions Hawkeye... I disagree.

The title system, how ever it may work, is there for enthusiasm and something to work towards, to show you have a level of respect, towards Bungie and its vast, amazing community.

So with out the title system people would not have anything to look towards in the future. So therefore more frequently people would break the set rules and guidelines.

But remember at the end of the day what do we all have in common?

We are proud members of the Bungie Community.

That's great, but not many are like you. Many care about getting a higher title than they currently have. The good thing about that is that members will act good in the forums to earn a higher title.

I really do care. I was kind of annoyed when I lost my heroic but it's not the end of the world or anything.

Seriously though. I like the member titles. I like switching between Legendary and Mythic every now and then=)

I'm fine with it too Twinkie, although many think differently. Not saying I wouldn't be happy with another title, but I am happy now as well.

Most members get hooked to the community shortly after visiting. Then see new titles and want them. With out them, why would they stay here, or not hesitate to break the rules?

Its if you do bad things on Bungie what happens?

You get ban...

Now how about the people who do good things?

They need to be treated the opposite of being ban, for bad behavior.


So with out the title system what kind of damage could possible occur?

There is a much bigger picture here, one that i think a lot of members miss.
Also, suggesting to hide "member, heroic, legendary, mythic" in profiles but keeping "webcam MVP or Theme master" is a contradiction.

You do realize how long this site has thrived without member titles, right? It's not like anarchy broke out then. And it's not like people don't break the rules now.
