Subject: I will regret it if I don't say this now... (UPDATED!)

Bricypoo's custom user title = Ultra Lame Thread Maker

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

First off, yes this is about titles. But that does not mean to just roll your eyes and think you have already heard what I am about to say. Please read the entire post.

Now this question about whether titles should be removed or not is stupid in my opinion. Getting rid of titles will not change the "hate" on new members.

People will just then go by join dates, popularity, or/and who you know. The idea that new members are just "annoying" and opinions don't matter will always be around. That is why I think the titles aren't not the problem,the members are.

Some members always hate on new members for not knowing the rules, for posting to much, for quoting Bungie workers, exc. They need to remember that they were a new member once too. I am not a "old" member. I haven't been around for all that long, I personally learned that people didn't like any of the things listed.

I remember doing most of those things when I was new member. That is why when I see other new members I think we should try to help them rather then "hate" on them. We should try to help them not make the same mistakes we did.

Anyways back onto the subject of titles.

Question : Why do you (Bryce) like titles?

Well the Reason why I like titles is because I think it helps the forums out a lot. It helps me recognize members a lot easier. I usually use titles and avatars to help keep the members straight. So when they change I get a little confused.

I also think the titles help make the forums more COLORful. Instead of everyone having the exact same gray bar some people have other color bars. In my opinion it makes the forums look "better".

Titles also can give you something to "work" for. Though some people work way too hard and other people don't work for them at all I think the aspect is good.


I do understand why some people do not like titles. Because some members judge other members because of it, or post a ridiculous amount to earn them. But I think more good comes out of the titles than bad. When I see a "Elder" member I make sure to read their post. Because I know they have seen the community change a lot and I like to hear their opinions.

Anyways not matter what we do there will always be people who believe things like This

Well that is about all I needed to say on this subject. I know that my post may seem a little unorganized and cluttered. I will try to fix it once I get home from work. But I really don't have the time to fix it now.

P.S. I still look "new" members opinion as a possibly respectable opinions. But there are members that I will see post who I may not respect their opinion from pervious experiences. Also if they get rid of the titles so be it. It isn't a "big deal" I just think the site is better with them.

I like the title system, it reminds me of a hierarchy.

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

I tweet?

I'll just pick out the two true key points to the OP. First, as we all know and have heard before, this is the internet. As such we should all expect asshattery. Should we accept it? No, but that's why we have rules in place to keep it from getting to far out of hand. These forums are a social ground, much like real life you will have your friends then you'll have everyone else. Unfortunately when you move to a new place (these forums), it's usually just you... and everyone else. Eventually you find your way, make friends or whatever. But you will always have the people who look down their nose at you. It's part of life and society.

As for the title being something "to work for", not really. I got my title being well... my self. I didn't work for anything, the worst I've done was reply to spam and aid in the derailing of a topic. Though I suppose the latter could be seen as being an asshat.

My point is that people should see titles as something to work for. They mean nothing, have no value, and are more or less silly hats. In fact the titles are part of the problem because people put their own values into the titles. One of them being what's already been joked at here and that's elitism. And again as you said that's a problem with the people, the titles only help harbor it. Losing the titles would give one less thing for those people to cling to.

And just as well I wouldn't mind tossing out join dates either.

Thus I refute thee

All this talk of titles is old news now to be honest, I remember when titles wasn't a big deal and when someone posted something who wasn't a 'high' title people listened to their opinion and post, now these forums are more of a playground for people trying to get titles, I'm not saying everyone wants 'it so bad' but there are quite a few now that want a 'Mythic' title, I personally couldn't care less if the titles get removed, don't get me wrong I'm not going to lie and say I don't like my title but not enough to think I'm higher up than anyone, if I see a member post something then I read it in the same way a Mythic member posts something, the thing I have against most people on here is that I have seen a lot more on these forums than most of you lot but I don't necessarily take that into account when reading a post from someone who is new, it's called respect and I feel like a lot of this community from what it used to be like has lost that, these forums used to be fun and quite welcoming with the regulars, now though...well...meh

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

We clearly need more titles.

Stop being so attached to a title. It is worth nothing.

I've only been around 3 months and people say I'm an annoying little kid who lives in his moms basement. I think playing halo for 5 years counts me as being a member for that long, and the only reason I didn't join this sight before is because I didn't hear about it, so I guess you can count me as a Senior Mythic Member. Also before I leave this thread I did not do anything to the people who said I live in my moms basement(witch I absoulutaly don't!).

Yeah, since I've barely even had a title. I'm not "attached" to it. There is no reason for me to say a argument since it all is already in the OP.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

I admit when I got my Legendary/Heroic, I was like "Aww Yyyeaahhh". But even then that was short lived, it never impacted how I behaved on the site.

And when I lost the Legendary I was like "Awwww". Once again, I'm not really [female dog]ing about it.

Is there a synonym for complaining with a more negative connotation?
