How, exactly, do you justify this opinion? Just because someone hasn't been on this website for years and years doesn't make them a young kid or affect their likelihood of conducting themselves inappropriately.
In my experience, the fear of losing a title tends to prevent higher-titled users from posting things that would be against the rules. It's rare that I see a blatantly against-the-rules thread posted by a titled member. Higher title doesn't equal more maturity by any means, but it does equal a lesser likelihood of going against the rules.

Most of the mythics I've met are the same age or younger than I am. And even so, there are plenty of "young kids" who would know better and plenty of "adults" who would abuse the privilege. Age has nothing to do with it.By "adults" I meant people that are more mature than others. This forum tends to have a lot of immature people on it, so shock sites and similar rule-breakings aren't uncommon. Also, it's certainly true that the average age of people on a forum has at least a loose correlation to the general maturity level of that forum.

I wouldn't support giving anyone the ability to embed images, if only because it's so likely to derail threads even when used appropriately. It almost always happens when employees do it.That's only because it's such a rare thing currently. It'd derail threads for a couple weeks maybe as people adjusted, but after that it wouldn't be a big deal.

Titles were meant for fun, and look what they've come to. This draws the line for me, guys. I am now committed to the idea of removing them entirely.

This is why we can't have nice things.

The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's the rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips, again

People would still abuse it. Fact.


I probably would, honestly. It's the sad truth

Just because someone has a high title that doesn't mean they should be trusted. You could just use the BBinliner in the script thread. I use that and all images and videos are automatically imbedded into the site so I can look and watch without clicking links. You should give it a try.

You do know what the formula is for deciding titles right? Lack of bans/warnings, and being a member for a few years sound like some pretty understandable criteria for being able to post images. It's not perfect, but it shows a level of trust which is important when giving out privileges that can be abused.

Would you mind pointing out the part where it's unfair or elitist?

Pretty sure there is a script that allows you to see all pictures and videos that are embedded into a post.

Because fun != giving the same permissions as less than 1/3 of the EMPLOYEE accounts on the site. You think that, even when those with the permissions are the minority amongst the people who OWN the site, the people with pretty titles should be given the power?

Now how would that be elitist in any way?

Yeah, Shi Options and Iggy's BB Inliner parse image and YouTube URLs and embed them into the page. Shi Options is a phenomenal script; my favorite, hands down. :)

I'm finding it pretty hard to understand your point here. I never really said I was supporting the idea of giving out image-posting abilities, so I'm not sure why you seem to be arguing about that. What I was asking about was why you seemed to be upset at the concept of giving privileges solely based on the colour of their title bar.

What, in your personal opinion, is wrong with entrusting higher titled members with more abilities?

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

How could I disagree with a proposition which gives me more things for essentially no reason?

your use of circular logic is impressive.

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?

I couldn't trust myself not to troll at least once with an image feature.

I'm actually quite glad Bnet doesn't allow image posting or signatures. It's just clutter, and looks visual spam. It's much sleeker and clean without it.

I do not support this cause what so ever. It doesn't matter how much respect we have, or even if we have special custom titles, we are still never going to and never will have the ability to submit images in our post of bungie.net's forum.

Your reason for not supporting it is that it's never going to happen? Classic T1BBY.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.
