Base Titles
[4/09] Posting Isn't Only Trust Factor
[4/09] Game Participation Factored Into Trust / Labels > Ranks
[2/09] 5 Digit Asymptotic Maximum Trust Value & No Minimum Trust Value
[2/09] Arbitrary Max / Join Date Heavily Weighted & Good Trust Predictor / Negative Ban Influencers
[2/09] Data Collection Long Before Titles Added / Only Superusers See Trust / Bans Fade With Time
[11/08] Tweaked Base Formula Math For Higher Title Normalization
[11/08] Significant Change To Title Algorithm / Specific Tiers / Result = Less Elevated Titles
[11/08] Rating No Longer Relative To Daily Maximum / Base Titles More Predictable
[8/08] Possible Post Quality Metrics / Main Title Use = Fun & Positive Reinforcement
[6/08] Consistency Is Rewarded Over Inconsistency
[6/08] Time Not Only Positive Factor
[6/08] Elevated Title Specifics / Consistent Formula Without Adjustments / Relative Ranking
[4/08] Relative Maximum Trust Increase Rate > Your Trust Increase Rate = Possible Title Loss
[3/08] Titles Based On Relative % To Max Trust / Title Changes Can Occur Without Trust Changes
[3/08] Two Values = Base Trust Rating & Trust Modifier
[2/08] Title Populations / What They Were & Should Have Been
[2/08] Titles Percentage Based / Too Many Heroics & Not Enough Mythics Glitch
[2/08] Multiple Caches & Servers Involved With Titles / Changes Aren't Instant
[2/08] Titles Based On Max Trust Rating & Relativity / Glitch With Caching / Cache Refreshes Daily
[3/07] Prototype Collectied Trust Before Title Implementation

Prefixes
[2/09] Prefixes Not Related To Trust Value
[11/08] Ban Related Prefixes & Their Qualifications
[11/08] Prefix Groupings / Prefixes Are Prioritized / Bans Temporarily Remove Prefixes
[11/08] Honorable, Noble, Exalted Prefixes Related / Honorable & Noble Priority Bug
[11/08] Veteran Not Ban Related Prefix / Imbalanced Prefix Priority Bug
[11/08] Higher Base Titles More Likely To Have Rare Prefixes / Exalted = Highest Prefix Priority
[11/08] Prefix Introduction / 9 Total With Different Criteria
[11/08] Prefixes=Little Badges & Good Behavior Indicators
[11/08] Prefixes Independent Of Base Titles

Other
[4/10] Titles Meant To Encourage Investing Into A Single Account
[4/09] Arbitrary Titles / Accidental Bans / New Title System In Development
[4/09] Current System = Impossible To Understand In Absolute Terms
[4/09] Ultimate Goal = Fun
[4/09] Personally Customizable Titles > Titles As Displays Of Arbitrary Numbers
[4/09] Speculation On Unlockable Titles & Game Participation
[4/09] Possibility Of Losing Base Titles & Increased Linking To Game Participation
[12/08] Titles As A Sorting Device Intended For New Members / All Speculative
[12/08] Titles Initially Intended To Be User Rating System / Nowhere Near Completion Or Reality
[12/08] Building Like-Minded Community Barriers
[12/08] Elitism Isn't Always Bad / Titles As A Sorting Device
[8/08] Title System Judgement = Moronic
[8/08] Main Title Use = Fun > Secondary = Positive Reinforcement
[2/08] Definite Bug / Manual Calculations Not Adding Up
[2/08] Trust Formula Changed / Possible Bug
[3/07] System Purpose Defeated Once Figured Out / Exact Trust Value Meaningless
[3/07] Secretive Trust Consequences Against Alt Accounts
[3/07] System Rewards / Automatic Consequences / Intentionally Vague
[3/07] Positive & Negative Reinforcements / Elitism
[3/07] Trust Judgements / Past Consequences / Math Complexity
[3/07] System Functions Must Remain Hidden For Functionality
[3/07] Trust Ratings Can't Be Subjective For Functionality
[3/07] Automatic Trust System > Manual Karma System

Note: No one except the Bungie Webteam knows exactly how this system works.
