However, I do think that it might provide nice added incentive to not get banned if applied to recently banned users, as stated in your OP edit. In all honesty, I think it could also be applied to the title system as well. One of the main resons titles were put into place was to get users to invest time into one account rather than a bunch of alts. If you reward higher base titles with more posts per day then that gives more incentive to keep your current account, as well as to follow the rules to avoid a ban.
But unless you're setting the base level really, really, really low there is just about zero incentive.Ehh yeah, that's true. And the problem with that is new members might be driven away from the website unless the fact that they will be able to post more freely with a title promotion. We already know that's not an easy thing to do since we already have issues with people and the "Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not." message.
However, if you were able to find a happy medium between too low of a cap and too high of a cap, it might give some nice benefits. One way you'd be able to do this is add in more titles so there isn't a huge gap in time between title progression. It doesn't even need to be linear either, there could be larger gaps between tiles the higher you progress.
Obviously this is an idea in the rough, but I think if it was expanded upon it could find a place on Bungie.net.
This is what I was trying to do, just rough out an idea.
I like the idea of title restriction, but I think the point about new members feeling limited is also a vaild argument.
Maybe just an application to recently un-banned members only? at least until the system starts to become corfortable with the majority of the community?
