Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

You have coup, why do you care?

I only use coup when my title is boring. When I was a Heroic Member, I like how it looked and didn't use coup. But, now that I'm an Intrepid Member and the color hasn't changed...I use coup just for a little entertainment. But, if I reached another rank, I'll most likely turn my coup off.

I really appreciate warnings but I personally agree with the op that warnings should not take away your title. I can maybe see why a ban does, but NOT a warning.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Warnings are the proverbial "slap on the wrist". And like a slap on the wrist it stings for a moment and you know you did wrong, but it gets better quickly and you now won't do it again.

I don't think that's a good analogy because that worst thing that can happen, to your title, is getting it taken away obviously. So, I wouldn't compare the worst case scenario to a "slap on the wrist." A "slap on the wrist" should be a warning without any affect on your title.

That analogy is a little more inaccurate than that, seeing as how title damage takes awhile to go away. For example, if you had "Exalted"

Yes, precisely.

  • 09.14.2011 6:37 PM PDT

Key

Yes, mods don't have to warn you. I was lucky to even get warned by TU twice before my ban. Both times he could have banned me. Breaking the rules ever gives you the chance of being banned and if you get a warning and a title decrease, you should be thanking them for not banning you and dropping you down to member.

Yeah, I think it might be time to go back to no titles.

but everything would be dull, unless something like a "choose bar colour" option was added.

Yeah, I think it might be time to go back to no titles, and there were two bans - 7 day bans and permanent bans.




That would clean out the Flood....I'm in.

Is it really that big of a deal?
*looks at title...


*cries.


But honestly it's not that big of a deal. Personally i think i got warned for a stupid reason, but if you care about your title that much than you shouldn't even risk it with things that some mods might warn for like i did.

Well...ban-wise, probably. Title wise, they all have coup. Haha.

Wow. I am shocked that removing titles has come into consideration by the webteam. It's really sad that a few complainers have to ruin it for everyone.

  • 09.15.2011 1:32 PM PDT

We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

To be honest, I like the title system. It gives incentive to be more active and to not break the rules.

What is needed is to make accounts more valuable. Give it more of a purpose than simply a name. I believe titles were made for this purpose, but they're too easily removed and not enough people care for them.


What incentive is there, if a Mythic member can do just as much as a normal member? Colors are colors, you can look as fancy as you want but in the end, a royal-blue bar is just a false sense of achievement saying "I haven't been banned since 2008, HURR." If you want it to be more valuable, I go back to what Foman said before, give titles special privileges based on rank, because that makes it more interesting and more worth an incentive.

If you're referring to me as a 'complainer' you are mistaken. Also, Achronos just wants to stir up drama. It's laughable to think he'd actually do that. If he did, everybody would just complain even more.

Not really directed exactly at you, but a more broad, general statement. I've been here for a few years and have noticed that titles are something people always complain about. It's a situation you cannot win from either side.

You maybe be right about Achronos just bluffing about the idea, but who knows at this point. Bungie is changing, and so can the site.

What sort of privileges could you give to those with titles?
