I agree with Eros. If we're trying to make things a bit even keeled by eliminating post counts, then how is having rank-based titles a good thing? Just get rid of it altogether. Save "Emperor" for Jay, save "Imperial Guard" for the forum mods, and reserve "Bantha Fodder" for people who annoy us (in a joking way, of course). Save nothing else. After thinking about it, this is really how I feel now.

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.
