From the Moderators that have replied to this thread, the general consensus is that such a feature is not a dire need. The Moderators have been around longer than most members, and frequent the forums more than most members. Their opinions are moulded by using their experience to best judge what the outcomes could be. In this case they can't see a real need.
Statikk HDM, firstly, I can't understand why you would be protesting for this. You turn up every four months, post like mad for a week, leave, and return in four months again to repeat the cycle. Secondly, when you said "people would probably pick OW based titles", that is so wrong, it's not funny. The members will choose everything but Oddworld based titles.
However, I once again pledge the idea of voting for custom titles. If the members are too lazy to vote for who gets a custom title, then why should I be bothered to make custom titles available? The voting system both eliminates too many custom titles being given out, thus maintaining some Oddworldness in the rank system. The voting means that someone worthy is given the custom title.
You have to remember, this is the Oddworld Forums, and even without a legal tie to Oddworld Inhabitants, they still expect us to keep the forums as close to Oddworld as we can. Both Abe Babe and myself know this, and we try our hardest.
