Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Also maybe you could add a few more reserved titles for member that have made their own transfers; dark_jedi, citizen, moth3r, and others. Also maybe a title for the art gifted people like Boba Feta and Coov, or even for the people that upload alot, Rikter, Metallaxis, Segaflip. Of course I think you should still have time restriction on these too, so some one cant turn out their own trasfer and ask for that title with in 5 minutes of joining.

For example, if I post 250 messages in a month, I'd get something like "Needs to get a life" under my name.

Yep. good idea, may stop the people who joined 3 or 4 months ago with over a 1000 posts already.
And also lets NOT turn this into an US AND THEM site with elitist ideas like special nicks etc.

But I do still stand by my idea that everyone should start as "Padawan Learner" and stay at that level for six months to prove their mettle. No post counts should play into this at all. Then they can create their own title. Eliminate all other post-based titles.

Call it an "Incept date" and you've got my vote.

Won't personalized titles kill the idea of ranks, and just reduce it to nicknames?

Well, the idea was to kill those who spam just to bump their post count. I can see the ups and downs to it. But, considering how much spam we've had here in the past, I support the idea. True, it's not as bad as it was, but it can be bad again. It takes only one bad egg...
There is also a "forum moderator" but that title is held only by Zion.

Not gonna happen.
You guys should move to China. I think you'd be happier with the freedom of information exchange they offer their netizens.

Actually its not a bad idea though 5-10 posts per *day* might be it bit too severe. Perhaps limit the amountof posts per *hour* or something.
But then again I can see Jay's point about having as much freedom as possible in the forums and allowing us to self-police by flaming the crap out of trolls until they give up or cross the line. So basically I'm straddling the fence, which I'll have to say is not the most comfortable thing to do...
