Listen to the minions.  They know what's good for them. :D

Now, on a more serious note.  Custom titles are given out based on the whims of the administrators; they always have been.  Even before I was an administrator.  Complimentary titles have always been given out, and insulting titles have always been given out.  I admit I might give them out more frequently than the other admins, but aside from that, nothing has changed.

If you have an unflattering custom title and don't like it, then do something about it.  Release a mission, or a mod, or a cutscene.  The general idea is that if you do something notable, you get a custom title until you do something else notable.  Complaining about it, however, is not likely to do you any good.

Take Kazan as an example.  He had a complimentary title as a result of his work on PCS1.  Then he got in a bunch of political and religious threads, and got a series of insulting titles.  Then he cleaned up his act and released PCS2, and he got a complimentary title again.

If there are several other complaints, please, let me know. With examples, if possible.
VC's crusade against Goober for his administrative jokes?

Or join a working HLP-hosted project. That's the way I got my title; however, I must admit this happened a looong ago.

So not wanting a title is notable?

It is as it is. The Goober works in mysterious ways. Then again, you made a fuss of how you think titles are pointless and you don't want one yourself.

Thanks strange giving the fact that you have access to both INFA Internal and FSCRP :wtf:

In addition...someone said that I can give more than colors.

Also, seems that joining the development team of a project hosted here on HLP is enough to get a comfortable CT.

Meh. Whatevah. Guess i'm leet then :D

And snail, don't call me a hypocrite. I never said I would ***** if I got a title :P

I probably won't care about it in an hour or so anyway.

Because your title is favorable. Those whose are offensive or humiliating do care. I remember some cases in the past one or two years, even as I am no longer as active as I was back then when I got my title.

A "minority" that has all the right to complain.

Touché :P

A few months ago I read posts/siggies about the true HLP Boss no one knows...or something like that.

Nah.  I just wanted to see Snail's reaction, given his previous post:

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.

=============================================

Not so.  Karajorma gives them out too.
