    yeah, there's other forums out there that let people set custom titles by default... we're just jerks .

    I like the idea of titles as rewards, it encourages people but doesn't break things to implement.

    And yeah, I think the fear that the place will be overrun by users with custom titles is kind of ... umm ... incredibly stupid. It's not like it's that big a deal, it's just a nice little customization, sort of an acknowledgement that you're not the average title-less schmuck .

    I thought the reward for maxing out your rep is to have a custom title. I think this would totally devalue the rep system

    the rep system was devalued about an hour after it was implemented.

    As for custom titles as rewards, we dont have to worry about being over run, but i dont think they should be permenant. Maybe a year or so at most. Its not like this is some huge accomplishment by the users. You pretty much just follow the rules and not be a dick, and you qualify for MotM. Seeing some guy 3 years from now with a custom title just cuz he was a good poster.....it just bothers me for some reason.

    Personally I think everyone should be allowed to set their own custom title. It's silly that there's so much commotion about someone having some fucking words under their name.
