Ok, so if people don’t like the idea why are they pushing the people who say it’s a good idea?
A forum for discussion about topics and information found on Absolute Anime.

I've seen spam and randomness out the wazoo in mindless chit chat as well. (Although it doesn't bother me). You have a point there. As for Off Topic discussions, I have seen little to no spam or immaturity taking place.+:D.Ř.Ę.Ŧ.Ļ.Ĭ .N:+ wrote:Proof? Read through mindless chit chat and off topic enough, I am sure even someone like you would notice.
Fair enough. Even though their is a lot of spam and immaturity taking place on this forum it's not all of the users. Only a handful of them. Why reject a cool feature just to prevent a handful of trouble makers from abusing it? There's plenty of well behaved users on this site that deserve the privilege.+:D.Ř.Ę.Ŧ.Ļ.Ĭ .N:+ wrote:I am not going to start pointing fingers at users; I would not be a very good mod if I did that.
This may seem like a waste of time for you but for me it isn't. I feel custom user titles would be really nice to have. Plus, I enjoy debate and intense discussion.+:D.Ř.Ę.Ŧ.Ļ.Ĭ .N:+ wrote:I have heavy weight behind my opinions, your wasting your time questioning that (which is alot of time).
I understand that you cannot list usernames of troublemakers to prove that AA shouldn't have this feature but that doesn't mean you're claims are any more correct than mine.+:D.Ř.Ę.Ŧ.Ļ.Ĭ .N:+ wrote:The reason I keep posting because I know for a fact you are incorrect, with that aspect anyway.
Understandable.+:D.Ř.Ę.Ŧ.Ļ.Ĭ .N:+ wrote:I would have to single out countless users and I refuse to do so, I am not in a position that I am able to.
As I've said already, I've seen a variety of forums that have custom user titles and no one abuses them. These forums even have huge amounts of active members and the abuse of custom user titles is definitely the least of their concerns. Their main problems lie with people making threads in the wrong place, trollers, and fanboyism.+:D.Ř.Ę.Ŧ.Ļ.Ĭ .N:+ wrote:You seem to crave examples, yet I haven’t seen you give any, all you have speculation. However I don’t really care if you do as it is all opinionated at this time.
This idea of yours might work. It'll help prevent people from abusing this feature seeing as how abuse is a concern of moderators.Hallow Ichigo wrote:I think that if custom user title id get added to the features of this site, there should be some words that can't be placed.
For example, a user shouldn't be able to write down moderator as their user title unless they are a moderator.
I agree. Besides, if they do put anything that is vulgar or racy, they can be banned or something.Haruhi wrote:I think immaturity in posts should have no baring on how a member would utilize this feature (if added). The custom title would obviously have a limited amount of characters to work with, and a word filter to block out anything crude. I don't see how one can "spam" or "abuse" a feature like this if the above two things are put in place with the custom title itself.
Then we can agree on at least this my wise friend.Battousai The Manslayer wrote: Plus, I enjoy debate and intense discussion.
And what incident would that be?I am uncomfortable with this as I do see abuse of the current features our accounts have. Infact an incident the other day was one of them unfortunately.

Honestly that should be something kept in between the Mod and offending party.Hallow Ichigo wrote:That answers nothing.
Good suggestion. I hope we get this feature. [-o<Hallow Ichigo wrote:Maybe a few select users that have proven themselves could be given this option, and they take it out on a beta test or something.
