Kinda like myself.

That's what alot of you seem to say, but when I first joined, once I made about 100 posts, I was being called a n00b 'cause I don't have have 700+ posts.

To the people who do say that they can put like ____ is a n00b! Isn't that why Ryan has censors on this sight? Why dosen't he just censor words like n00b, ban, nub, etc..., like he does with certain cuss words?

I believe titles are a great idea. However, maybe only people with a certain number of posts should get custom ones, thus preventing newbies from putting dumb stuff there, or 'clones' from putting insulting things there. Perhaps at 500 posts or so you could first get a customized title? ^^;

The problem here is that just because someone has a low post count is a 'newb' and the people with a higher post count aren't. Just becuase you have a high post count doesn't mean you are mature enough to make titles. In fact, lately, I'd say the opposite, becuase people mostly get large numbers of posts from the DCC (which has been crud lately, which is why it was closed).

In the other side, there are mods with less then 500 posts. Look at Galleon (I think). It just means that he focuses all his attention on one area, and doesn't make random posts here and there. In this instance, Galleon is pretty far from being anything newbish.
