I, frankly, disagree with disrespecting and disregarding other members' titles.
Despite the fact that none of this matters in the "real world," some users do place a value on their member title that influences them to follow the forum rules and contribute to this community. That is a good thing for Bungie, and it is a good thing for all of us who enjoy contributions from the community. And certain prefixes for member titles that depend on a user never having been warned/banned/banned for certain amounts of time cannot be re-obtained if a moderator accidentally bans a user.
No matter what you personally believe, anybody who thinks that the addition of Member Titles to this site has not been a positive influence on some members to follow the rules and contribute more to this site needs to have their head checked for stupidity.
Despite their joking around in this thread, every Forum Ninja I know is very careful about issuing accidental bans for precisely the reason that Dropship Dude posted in his OP, as well as the reason I posted above (the member title "prefixes"). But accidental warnings and bans do happen anyway, especially in very fast-moving forums and threads. We try to avoid them, and we correct them as quickly as possible when they do happen. But it is unfortunate that, currently, even an accidental ban still counts against a user's trust rating.
I would like to see this idea implemented at some point, but accidental bans are such a rare occurrence that I would not think that it is a "high-priority" item for the web team.And I thought I write a lot...
I guess you won't mid if I add that argument to the OP, will you? Because I'm doing it anyway.
On the subject of the priority, I guess that the introduction of BuTube is currently taking one of the highest priorities, so until then we can't really expect anything at all.
