I don't think making Custom Titles publicly changed-able would be a good idea. The whole stars and Oddworld ranks ties in with the OWFs strong relations to the Oddworld universe.

It used to be something fun, that people enjoyed, having seen their title change every so often. It also had people strive to get a higher rank by making productive posts, as spam would be deleted and the user delt with.

I think handing out as many custom titles as we have to members has been a detriment to the OWF community. Too many people have them, when they really should only be a few people with them. Even if people are good and what not, it doesn't mean everyone should ditch the titles you earn productively and cash in for a nice title of your own to look 'cool'.
