I think given the "creativity level" of some folks on this site, allowing people to customize their titles is a bad idea. They already have the Loc: field as it is. Also, undertitles being a carrot you can dangle to reward good posters is a somewhat valuable tool to have.

Loc should actually be Loc based on the poster's IP.

Come on, this makes sense, what makes you think 2p2 would implement it?

Why put Fluffpop and kiddmother in a position to have to explain why they were posting from my IP address?

just get rid of carpal/tunnel and put something that actually sounds prestigous there, like grand master, grand poohbah, raptor christ, etc

Mason's custom title is "Grand Poohbah" so I don't think we can hand out a default title as good as that one.

I like kurt h's idea.

This can be inaccurate. I'm in Illinois now, but my IP shows up as from Massachusetts.

I don't think anyone really cares where iron is from, but maybe he can make a poll about it or something.

Taking from the ideas I liked, may I propose this setup:

0 railbird
10 stranger
25 newbie
50 player
100 member
250 enthusiast
500 addict
1000 grinder
2000 veteran
4000 *various
10000 **custom

* at 4000 posts the poster would get the title "Pooh-Bah", unless, that is, if they have made over 50% (too high? 35%? 40%) of their posts in a certain area of 2+2. With the majority of their posts in these sections they will get the following instead of Pooh-Bah:

community: railtard
limit strat: poo flinger
NL strat: bold and aggressive
STT strat: ROI obsessed
MTT strat: lol donkaments


** at 10,000 posts any user would get the ability to set their own custom title. <font color="green"> Get rid of this part </font>


I think this has many advantages, including a nice progression given the higher # of 2+2 posts in general since the titles were originally set up, a way to pick out the BBVtards and OOTtards from the serious strat posters, and a cool reward for the true nutbags.

I think the clear answer is Italian Mafia titles. Too lazy to come up with post counts. Maybe use english (Godfather, Boss, Underboss, Soldier, etc.) if lazy.

1. Capo di Tutti Capi (the "Boss of All Bosses", namely Matteo Messina Denaro for the Sicilian Mafia and Renato Gagliano for the Sacra Corona Unita)
2. Capo di Capi Re (a title of respect given to a senior or retired member, equivalent to being a member emeritus, literally, "King Boss of Bosses")
3. Capo Crimine ("Crime Boss", known as a Don - the head of a crime family)
4. Capo Bastone ("Club Head", known as the "Underboss" is second in command to the Capo Crimine)
5. Consiglieri (an advisor)
6. Caporegime ("Regime head", a captain who commands a "crew" of around ten Sgarriste or "soldiers")
7. Sgarrista or Soldati ("Soldier", made members of the Mafia who serve primarily as foot soldiers)
8. Picciotto ("Little man", a low ranking member who serves as an "enforcer")
9. Giovane D'Onore (an associate member, usually someone not of Italian ancestry)

you could use characters from the Sopranos as well.
