Subject: An idea for the title system

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

There have been a lot of arguments over whether we should keep the title system or not. Most of these arguments are mainly about how members without a high title aren't being respected to or paid enough attention to as much as the members with high a title.

I think that in order to fix this problem we should get rid of the color in all of the titles. I believe that the colors in the titles are what draw the attention away from the members without a high title that has a flashy color. What do you think?

No. Normies who are upset can just get over it. Stop getting banned and play nice for a while and you'll have a color bar, too.

That's actually pretty smart.

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.

I say we just give everyone a pink title.

I like being able to noticeably see when someone with a high rank posts. The only think I want it to be able to see how close I am to another title.

I very rarely notice any kind of discrimination based on title. I honestly feel like most of these posts are without warrant and I don't see any glaring issues with the current system.

Everyone is all over the magic touch guy. I doubt that would work.

I'm fine with the pink idea though.

I agree, but this is an issue that has been posted a lot when the discussion of getting rid of the title system has came up. I don't see any other way of satisfying these users without getting rid of the title system altogether.

I don't think it'll make a difference with or without color. It's just a matter of id. :D

How about we're given the ability to make our title bar whatever color we want? That'd get rid of every complaint. And add the ability to just edit your own title so you can be whatever you want.

I feel like people are blowing this problem way out of proportion. I rarely see this being a problem.

That's not that bad of an idea. I guess it could be better than getting rid of the colors altoghether, but I would think that too many colors could become an issue.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I'd say if they're isn't color there isn't really any fun. Having titles isn't suppose to be about respect. I think I remember reading Achronos post saying that the titles are just for fun. So removing the color would remove the fun.

I like the colour - the forums would be blander without it.

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

If you're going to get rid of the colours, you may as well just abolish the system entirely.

I think the web team have a re-haul of the title system cooking up their sleeves anyway.

Yes, I'm a girl, stop asking.

Republic Commando fans look here.

"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang or whimper, but with zombies breaking down the back door."

I could care less about title/color. Of course, that might be because I have coup, but I just read peoples' posts and judge on that content. I don't ever pay attention to people with shiny blue bars over regular members.
