I think that the blue titles are too flashy and call attention to themselves. All titles should be turned into slate gray.

I just got Heroic yesterday, now this forum wants titles gone?

lolwtf
I fail to see the connection. There is no need to be upset with such a beneficial proposition.
I enjoy being rewarded for behaving.

People will always judge others, we just need to get over it and stop caring so much.

It's a message board. Sheesh.

The ends never justify the means, that is Ethics 101 my friend.
Ethics are relative and you can't argue my morals are wrong because some dumb class that tried to teach you how to think disagrees. Ethics101 clearly didn't cover point of view.


That is a relativistic view of ethics, whereas I am coming from a objectivist view. Relativism is a flawed ethical system because it completely contradicts itself claiming it is a good system because it is tolerant and does not claim any moral truths to be absolute while at the same time extolling the virtue of tolerance, thus claiming an absolute moral truth. Furthermore, relativism defeats itself in ethical debate yet again because it claims that all views of ethics are right therefore claiming my objectivist view of ethics is right, which as a result directly contradicts everything relativist ethics claims. However, I must admit I may have misled you as I am not in Ethics 101 I am in NE 203: Ethics and Moral Reasoning for the Naval Leader.

On a somewhat more related note I can't see the benefits outweighing the drawbacks of removing thread titles. If you remove all the thread tittles how will people know what they are discussing. I mean I realize they will soon discover once they read what the OP has to say, but what if they don't want to waste their time reading countless threads that are irrelevant to their interests when a tittle could easily point them in the right direction?

I am sorry to tell you but I am not so much relativist as opportunistically amoral. I find your argument very interesting none the less; latent contradictions are a favorite of mine.
However, I must admit I may have misled you as I am not in Ethics 101 I am in NE 203: Ethics and Moral Reasoning for the Naval Leader.Funny.

In terms of the ethics debate I would like to stop that now because it is pretty off topic and was more like a smart-ass comment I made, although I must admit well played. However, in response to the great risk of misleading tittles I believe that may fall within the realm of forum mods and not so much an egregious error in the tittle system itself.

You touched on a very good point which seems neglected in this thread. If we are to keep the current system, reliance is placed on the moderation team. Before we can explore alternatives, perhaps we should try improving the existing system.

I yield the discussion to you, community! Do not fail me!

One final note before I go; I did notice the game you were playing with the majority of this thread who continues to believe it is about user tittles and I think it is hilarious. I just thought I would actually debate your actual point with you to see if you had any good counter points. Overall, if one were to actually read your OP (as they should) they would see this thread is full of win and for that I applaud you. Good night.

Warnings should affect titles, as they currently do not do enough.

Lop a few words off the end of a title, perhaps?

For information about my GT, "bjb yo," or the Linked account here on B.net, "Nub Cutter."

That's a terrible idea... You would then have to sift through tens of threads of trolls to get to anything worth even the smallest amount of discussion value. Trolls would have a field day.

Also, ITT: People who completely proved the OP's point.

If you're a veteran member of Bnet that's been posting for years then why shouldn't you be acknowledged? You are a quality contributor. The guy that just joins isn't. Not yet at least.

Title does not reflect contribution in any way. I fail to see how posting for years even matters in this discussion.

  • 09.13.2011 9:09 PM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

Is it really that hard for you guys to cope with a title system? Man, you guys are getting pathetic.

It doesn't reflect contribution? You can't become a Mythic or Legendary member without being a rule abiding contributing member of several years. And I think time does matter. Generally speaking you're not going to see a Mythic or Legendary member post stupidity because they're not thirteen or fourteen.

All titles are are merit badges. It's not a huge thing. However veteran community members do deserve some recognition.

What are you talking about?

All titles are are merit badges. It's not a huge thing. However veteran community members do deserve some recognition. Titles do not identify veterans. Titles do not reflect merit at all, I don't know how you're reaching this conclusion. It's illogical! But, I'll give you a chance to prove it, because I think you're determined.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

We need to get rid of those damn edit tags too, they draw way too much undue attention to themselves.



Also, not all posts contribute. I'd say most posts are spam- utterly meaningless.
Many are in private groups anyway, never to see the light of the mains.

I know a few title'd users that only participate in private groups, uncontributingly.

What a shame.

We should know better, because we are better.

I was laughing on the first page, I'm laughing on the fifth page though it is starting to get sad. Does no one read the entire OP? This is great satire, reminds me of when people mistake The Onion for a valid news source.
