....but I like my blue bar :(I don't see how that has anything to do with this.

You are incorrectly using cause effect analysis. Being a higher member does not "cause" a thread to be responded to more. However, there is a correlation between member title and post replies. However, the underlying cause is unknown and impossible to calculate. Some of other influences could be...My calculations are correct. I cannot err.
-members with higher titles tend to post more interesting threadsNo.
-they also might stay more involved in their post preventing it from being lost to the black hole of page 2.No.
-people like the color blueTrue.
-I could go on and onBut it wouldn't stop you from being wrong!
Simply stating that member titles should be taken away because they cause bias towards recognizing member titles is a ridiculous claim.Ridiculously true!

I only see this happening with people commenting on something a Ninja or employee says, not really ranked members.
People making threads about it are just making it a bigger deal than it really is. It is a tremendous issue to which we should allocate all resources. I can understand how an employee would alter this effect, but how would a ninja?

Anyone who bases the legitimacy of someone's post based on the poster's title is ignorant unless the poster is a NinjaWRONG
... and the topic discussed is the rules or if the poster is Urk or Achronos and the discussion is Bungie or the Site (respectively).Someone clearly hasn't seen Bungie employees delete certain threads.

Okay, okay. I am SO confused! Are the titles being removed or what?As it stands, this thread is merely a proposal. A proposal of truth and hope! May its guiding light pave the future!If titles got removed, that would suck sooo hard. Titles show some reward of sorts for your posting besides the actual experience, encourages productive posts, and shows how long certain people have been here.
We shouldn't remove them because some people are ignorant and treat them like ranks.Titles don't reward anything or indicate age. How do you even reach this conclusion?! Also, I'm sure you would agree, ignorance is bliss.
There are VERY few situations where I would value the testimony or account of a Mythic member over that of a regular member.How is that, in any way, relevant to this thread? Grr!

A quiz could be added before one is allowed to post, making sure commenters read the entire OP. This would enhance OP's idea.Tests are no fun!

Oh boy... We should remove the reply button until we're sure people have read and comprehended the OP.
IF we did that, it would remove 100% of the entertainment I'm getting from this thread, and about 80% of the entertainment I get from all the other boards here.
Suffice it to say, I'd rather not try that Ski.
If we did that we'd remove the ability for the corrupt moderation team to defend their ridiculous side on this matter.
Which are 110% more entertaining than the member posts. Where are you guys getting these numbers?

I personally find the words within threads to be far more misleading and biased than the titles themselves (oh the curse of literacy!). After all they can be used to express opinions or even cleverly employed to obfuscate the true message of what is being said with chum designed to whip the plebeians into a frothy fervor.
I propose we do away with words via a scrambler before we tackle titles.

Then we'd also have to take away usernames if we want to get rid of posting prejudice, as well as making join date invisible. That'd go further to remove any bias there may be than a title removal.
Glad someone beat me to it. If you remove titles, all that's going to do is force people to remember user names instead of user names/color of bar. Once you remove user names you might be able to get rid of this "problem".I don't think people associate threads with bar color.

People still take Duck's posts at face value?!My face has boundless value.

A good percentage of users use coup. Rarely do I see a Title dictate someone's post.Coup doesn't solve this problem. Coup is completely useless in this regard.
