i see no reason that posters who don't want to beg for a title not be allowed to simply have one with no questions. people would want to beat the jonse's, so there would be some damn funny stuff imo.

I'm not sure why we need titles at all, but your description here sounds a lot like the "Location:" blank at the moment.

What's the point of the default titles? They are merely regurgitating the post count. So if custom titles are redundant to Location input, then default titles are just as redundant to the post count.

at this point, you start wondering: "who is the leveller and who is the levellee?"

Please sir, like I could be possibly leveled. (note correct spelling)

For your edification, please note the "especially British" clause at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/levelled . As you may know, I am especially British.

Or, please note the "US" aside at http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/level?view=uk .

The word "leveled" would be pronounced as the meaningless "lev-eeld" by an Englishman. (Perhaps that is how an American would pronounce it? Obviously, I have never heard an American speaking in real life.)

The word "levelled" would be pronounced, correctly, by an Englishman as "levelled".

I trust you find this to be of assistance.

Yours Faithfully,

Michael B. Haven, ATF.
