Like I said,Eh? Can you reference this?
if we drew a correlation newer members would care more about posts per day or whatnot. To be honest newer members wouldn't care either way because of their fancy coup.
It seems being able to choose between eligible prefixes would be more appropriate.
However, if that was not possible I still believe that most would rather show their account age rather than post frequency (if not rather nothing at all)I hate to burst your bubble but there is a correlation between post court and user title. I'm not certain on what you're specifically talking about, because you've made very few sentences in this post and I cannot read minds. If your goal is to intentionally mislead newer members, then by all means have at it, but I'm certain there are better methods for this.
You claim that newer members would automatically value post counts because they do not have the account age latter. In this hypothetical dichotomous system (but not really, for there are, after all, other titles) you also claim that older members would almost certainly value account age to contrast the prior statement. However it is certainly possible to both value account age and post habits, but you don't take this into account. The issue at hand is that you want some exclusive title that newer members cannot have to differentiate yourself. Good luck denying this.
However, your assumptions that older members would by default choose the more exclusive account age is not without fault as clearly I oppose it and for the sake of argument my account has 2 more years than yours does, qualifying my opinion in this matter.
Additionally, you questioned whether or not we should regard posting habits as a good thing. If anything, we should regard both account age and posting habits as irrelevant to discussion, so highly regarding one while discrediting the other is foolish if not fully hypocritical.
