I have not seen any examples of people 'abusing their blue hat.' This also seems a lot like confirmation bias, as there are a massive amount of ordinary members who do not bring anything useful to the table.
Solid point. No offense to anyone, but what exactly are we abusing? All jokes aside, we don't get any privileges with this bar. If anything, the banhammer can be far more swift to be brought down upon us. Being visibly older, more "studious" members of the community, a lot more is expected of us by the mods. The blue bar means we've not been overtly belligerent, rude members for some time. It's an indication that we should know the rules, and that we should be more courteous and respectful of other members.
If you have a problem with a blue bar, take it up with a ninja. If you don't feel they "deserve" their title, whatever that even means, why blame the member? The mods take it away from us. I can't just ban myself. People are going to be idiots regardless of their member title.
Look at the base regular member. I could easily say that they should not be allowed to post on the mains for quite some time, or be limited in doing so, because they don't have the experience to do so. But no one would ever say the Members are abusing their power, because they are at the low rung of the title system.
If there were no title, you'd still have people being jerks and idiots here. Anywhere, really. Ridding the title system won't do a whole lot other than...not have grey, blue and black bars.
