So you let the staff nominate, not the users at large. Either they wouldn't be affected because they have titles already, or they would get them by default, but together they have most (if not all) forums covered and will know people of note. Convening would be some hassle but they talk regularly anyway, and less so than any public vote or forum.
You could do it just on posts, but just having made loads of posts doesn't make you a good user, and ignores the people who post mostly in IB (inc. Nosebleed), whatever your opinion of them. It was just an idea, anyway.
[font=verdana][color=green]Perhaps; but I still reckon it will have the same problems that were highlighted before - albeit to a much lesser degree.
But, whilst high post count doesn't mean you're a good user, it shows loyalty (not the shitty CTFG post spammers). This customisable title should be for those that show loyalty to the site; not those that are merely, I hate to say it, female and fairly popular.
But yes, Tsurayu does have a good suggestion. I would say scrap it, but the users at Uploads and NB are being punished for the popularity contest. Hence; it revolves back around to my suggestion - using the same system for posts as for rep. Many users rep will diminish due to it, but the users that actually contribute to the site won't be affected as much.
