Once, i was banned for being sarcastic to a new member along with a few other Mythic members. They called it "organized trolling of a new member."

I called it "hilarious."

lol I remember every single day seeing a post by machinimagames in the title thread last year about how he should have the next title/wondering when he will

If you don't like the system, just ignore it.


I'm not sure, but I thought that was in 2010, the good old days.

OT The tiles system effects some users judgement on others. I've seen it about 3 times yesterday night.

But leveling up in titles is so fun!

This.

And, also, I don't think a slightly different color and some text is that big of a prize to those more honorable members of this site. And honestly, with so much trolls on this website, the good posters should get some kind of title that way people can get a hint at who the nice folks on b.net are.

Nah man, don't loose the titles, they are fun. Of course people shouldn't start to base their behaviour on what title somebody has.

Just an idea off of the top of my head... but curious as to what people think.

Imagine a user option to "opt out" of titles. And when you do, you don't see the titles of any members. Everyone (except the web team and ninja) shows up as "member". But by selecting this option, the displayed title for the member (to those who are opting in and seeing/displaying titles) is something to indicate that they "aren't playing the game". For example, the term "Member" but the text of the title is in gold to show that they don't want their title shown and they can't see (and don't care about) yours.
Its not that big of a deal though. People just need to get over it because its a nice award in the end. I would like a new title to look prettier on my posts.

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

Do not bug the titles FAQ thread about Heroic! I's not that big of a deal, but some users think the titles are annoying. So why not just give them this feature, so the titles won't be completely gone.

  • 01.03.2012 4:42 PM PDT

I read that as "Off with the titties"

  • 01.03.2012 4:47 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

I predict war between the title-people and the non-title-people.

Why?

The point of opting out is a clear marker of indiffernce, and blindness to the subject. If I were one of the people who opted out, no one could claim that I cared about titles or thought higher of some members than others based on the color of their title bar. My altered title color would show that I can't SEE those things, and so, they don't influence me.

In other words, I would be the Swiss. Counting my incredibly secure money, following efficient schedules, eating chocolate efficiently, checking the time on an incredibly accurate timepiece and polishing my precisely made and maintained rifle in case anyone wants to test how serious I am about my neutrality, and occasionally taking time out to guard the Pope.

Don't forget about the people who would opt out to make a statement. Then you'd have the people who don't opt out that want to pigeon-hole the opt out people as [insert insult]. Not saying it won't work or that it's a bad idea, but a visible or latent and resurgent trend will probably be a small group of people bringing up the conflict. If nothing else it will be new members asking what's up, and newbie threads have a tendency to stir up conversation between experienced members.

Just completely scrap titles, they are basically a ranking and the highest ranked is considered the coolest. Let's be realistic here.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Actually, you are being quite unrealistic. That may be the way you see it, but your view definitely isn't the majority.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Titles don't mean anything except that you have been here for a while. Even that that is debatable becuase titles are effected by moderation history so someone who has been here for 10 years can be a member becuase of a ban.

They are combinations of being around for a while, good behavior, and activity.

They should do a MW2 Title system.

You meet certain criteria, and unclock a title. You can then change and choose from every one you have unlocked

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I've seen users on the site who think that the higher the title the more they know.
