The lack of new members is probably why. Calm before the storm and what not. The nicest it's going to be is right before Bungie shows trailers/makes announcements about its next project. Then new members, new trolls, new problems. C'est la vie.
If and when a new flood of members comes to the forums (no pun intended) for whatever reason, be it a new project unveiled by Bungie or whatever, the title system may have a bit more significance to maturity compared to the examples shown in this thread.Meh. I could care less about the title system. I'm not convinced it's all that accurate and representative of anything more than account age most of the time.
I for one always feel like I have authority or a more valid point over those who have less experience.I also dislike this kind of attitude, specifically that last line about having a more valid point than younger accounts. If we're talking about the community, then that might be true. If we're talking about almost any other topic than it probably isn't. I understand why someone would have it, and I know I can take/have taken the same attitude at times, but I don't think it's a positive.
You do realise you only half quoted me there right? I said I don't apply that to these forums;

I use that in situations like in gaming or sports. For example; if I was explaining a common and useful strategy to a Halo 3 newbie and they tried to explain their strategy, from experience I could tell whether that strategy would work, and whether mine would be better. My apologies though, I wasn't all too clear with my point there. I personally wouldn't apply that to these forums because experience here doesn't necessarily make anyone better than anyone else, it just means you have more knowledge of how the forums work and have a better understanding of what is tolerated and what isn't. When you apply that to the correlation I suggested that exists, it just means that "higher" members are better at hiding their insults (as some1 with guns said) and frequenting the use of sarcasm until eventually they've basically got nothing to provide to the community besides dry humour.
