OK, set a rule down straight away, no non oddworld oriented custom titles. And also disallow users giving themselves purposeful titles (IE GD moderator).

Two weeks is actually exactly how long I suggested. And I am suggesting trialling the User promotions. This would be a full promotion, custom title, PMQ, Av size... everything. We'd evaluate how much cooler it was being a promoted user than it was being a standard user, and sum up whether it would be worth implementing as something to "work for" in being a good, productive member.

As I said earlier, (and I do wish people wouldn't skim read my posts), there is no harm in just testing it.
Yessum. No non-Oddworld custom titles allowed. And using vBulletin we can already make sure no one can use words such as "Moderator", "Administrator", etc. But I'm sure people will still get away with is by simply placing "Oddworld" at the beginning of their custom title.
