    Default I have disabled custom titles for the time being

    An unintended side effect of the new forum was the enabling of custom user titles. Previously these were set based on post count. I had decided to let everyone keep their custom titles but unfortunately there have already been some who have chosen to abuse this privilege.

    So for now I have disabled custom titles. With over 500k registered users it would get pretty hard to monitor and track custom titles that are not appropriate. I'm not opposed to re-enabling them but I must first discuss with others what the best way of doing so is.

    Maybe when people get a certain post count + rep then you are allowed to have a custom title. But you could change it only once. That would already eliminate 70% of the users which would otherwise require to be monitored.

    And if somebody decides to abuse intentionally then just revert the custom title and never give them a chance to earn the ability to get a custom title again.

    The OnRPG community is mature enough to handle custom user titles. You clearly think otherwise and I, for one, take it personally.

    Just as a heads up for people, they are still looking at possibly re-implementing custom titles for members. The finer points are being hammered out though(Post count? Rep? Join date? etc.), so it'll still be a bit. Give it some time before a *total* shitstorm starts up.

    Sorry if I'm steppin' on too many toes while trying to play PR today boss, but I figure you guys are busy with upgrade shenanigans so I'll do what I can. Just lemme know if I need to tone it back.

    On a previous forum, they allowed custom titles based off of post count.
