The current titles the forum has are great. (Stranger, Newbie, Member, etc.)
But I noticed the Moderators recently assigned one forum member the "Whiny Cry Baby" title.
Here's the short list of other titles I'd like to see implemented. (I have certain forum members in mind for these, but I'll refrain from naming names.)
VTG Art Basher Smarmy Know-it-all Thread Arsonist
This is sort of a 'Scarlet Letter' approach, but I think it would help deter some of the thread pollution we've been seeing of late.

I know you are funnin'  . Once...was kinda funny...a new toy to try out. But if serious, I'd weigh in with a 'no'. I think it's cruel and serves no positive purpose.

If we had a list of some that were definite positives it wouldn't be an issue to do such a thing.
OK, mods, go ahead and give me one, kind of smart alecky, but not insultin.

I know you say that "moderators are immune", but that doesn't negate the fact that Brian went through one heck of an ordeal and deserves recognition for it. I know he's "just a moderator", but I've lost family members to cancer (I know, I'll be very diligent about having my physicals done once I'm in the military), and I know he deserves some recognition for what he went through. The toughest thing I've faced in life was watching someone I loved greatly die a slow, painful death.

That passed me too. The news actually caught me offguard. Belnick wasn't a "n00b" was he? No, I think I remember speaking with him a long time ago...back in the old forum layout days... Oh and I'm loving this new title. It shows off my very handsome use for the Uber word. Now to get the mods something for Christmas....hmm...

Bushi, Thankyou,but I don't really need recognition. I went through it and it's done.Many people have been through worse that you'll never hear of. Lots of people deserve recognition for helping me through it. My brother and his wife,my dad,my sister,my church family,my guard family,and all of my friends,even you guys!!!! I did get a nice plaque from Joel though!!

Ok, at least you got your plaque. You are right, there are thousands of cancer survivors, people with hiv/aids who get up and continue living every day even when they feel like giving up the struggle, even a few who go through some of the stuff I go through (not complaining, just mentioning it), unable to find decent work or fulfill their obligations as an adult (not referring to money problems, referring to not living up to the ideal of a "mature adult").
Still, I'm vying for "Fighting Arts Warrior of the Year '06".

The newb's titles "Stranger" seem a bit dark and untrustworthy, eh? I'd suggest "New Bait" or "Uke of the Moment" or "Fresh Feet" or "Jedi Knight"

OOPS ... you are right. Heck I'm 37 and I have a 13 year old daughter ... not to mention a 36 year old wife ... that both listen to this and sing it plus do the moves. And don't get me talking about "My Bumps" or lumps or something like that by the Black Eyed Peas. I don't listen to this stuff and I knew the singer was a girl and it started with a "G".

Folks,
"Titles" are things conferred upon people by other people, and not the other way round. Please do not request this of the mods. Moderator titles cannot be changed. It is a software feature. Members that have "shown" themselves to be deserving of a title that befits their status on this forum, either deservedly or undeservedly, as the case may be, MAY at the mods discretion be conferred a title. This will be done on a case by case basis, depending on circumstances.
Hope this makes it clear. Let's not get crazy about it.
