Karajorma replied with a "it's how things have always worked here" or something like that, meaning that we can't choose our own custom titles because it never worked this way(we=normal members).

As I said, my complaints were legitimate. This thread proves that some titles are disgusting...and there's no point to make people sick without a a valid reason.

I think someone like Kalfireth and IceFire should really try to accept the complains of the community....[/color][/i]
Complaints of the community? The only ones I can recall right away are your crusade against Rainbow Brite, Rico's hatred towards his, and the occasional newb "Why can't I set myself a custom title?!!1" comment. In other cases it is usually so that a person admits he did something stupid, a person is commended for outstanding work with a title, or the witty sarcasm of the title fails when the user is actually excited for getting a title, no matter what it says.

If there are several other complaints, please, let me know. With examples, if possible.

Jokes are funny when they DON'T last long, not when they remain fixed.

Kazan complained about his monkey status(which was strictly connected to his title and vice versa). Now try to call him a n00b :P

WMCoolmon's complaints?

Speaking of CT related complains, do you really think that people should just accept silly CTs? What's the point in locking degenerate threads if offenses are legitimately accepted thanks to the CTs? :wtf:

It won't be long before someone locks this thread, however. I hope someone gets the message.

Still, I seem to recall that VC just asked for a title. Really asked for it.

This is starting to be some serious overreacting. If person A says "STFU N00B 101" to person B somewhere on a street, should person A face court martial and be banished from society? And previously you mentioned that jokes should vanish quickly. No. If you do something stupid once in real life, you'll hear about it for a long time. I once gave a somewhat stupid answer on a physics lesson and heard about it for about two years. That's how it is. You do something stupid just once and the people will continue to remind you about it.

And it really isn't that bad if one gets a custom title for doing or saying something stupid at HLP. Otherwise, we can and will be a newb-friendly and polite community in every way. Go to some other forums, ask something and half of the members will start flaming you and telling you to shut up and such. I'd concider that more offensive than just a tiny little custom title somewhere along the line.

I didn't even read that, that's the way too sick.

I end by saying that there's nothing pragmatic and useful in offending people in that idiotic way. Bye.

Unrelated but what does the 211 in the sigs mean and why did then did they get changed?  I miss the freespace titles and on a related note, I don't always get what I want :P

It's not in the sig. The sig is under your post. But it's math. It means that you've posted over 211=2,048 times.

If you, say, had the title "Greatest Guy on HLP," I would bet my ass you wouldn't be going for the abolishment of CTs.

I'd say sick. The interesting thing is that the CT system basically is in Goober's hands, who's not even the head Administrator here. WMCoolmon accused his CTs(plus MANY other things :p) and I can only agree with him.

That much is correct. If you look at the titles people used to receive five or six years ago and compare them to what typically gets handed out now, there is a remarkable difference.

When you get down to it though, who cares? I don't think it's even worth the effort to complain about something like this.

And I rather like mine in any case. :D

Hey, there's a guy with what seems to be a pic on his CT!

It was something like a sticker with the words "I Am Canadian" + the Canadian leaf.
