But that's Firerain's role.
Is there any chance in the future of getting rid of titles entirely?
Especially the generic and redundant "Gold Member" ones?

I think Facepunch has lost enough silly fun features already to be perfectly honest.
As much as I get annoyed at all the banter sometimes, I still only come to Facepunch because it can be really dumb.
Bring back respected users with purple name.

And make them community elected so it's actually the community determining who they respect.

Whats the difference between those "respected" members and just golds?

Respected was a status given out to good posters handpicked by mods if I remember correctly

I don't think they got any special perks besides a purple title and bragging rights

Wasn't golds also originally handpicked before the original auto golding?

You could buy it like you could now in the really early days.

Finally. I will make 5 years on november, so I still have time to reach 2000 posts until then.
I can't wait using a bigger and animated avatar.

Well my idea behind Respected Users is that, while every person can be a glod menber given that they have been on the forums long enough and raked in some posts but that doesn't mean they are good posters ( a la every shitposter can be a glod ).
Respected users could be specially elected by mods or the community as a whole. A title given only to best posters who make interesting, informative or otherwise good posts/threads. A Respected User would set the standard of good posting. They would be an example to other users new or otherwise.
But the again this idea is probably flawed.

only flaw i can see is that pretty much all of us are terrible posters
Respected should be like Gold in terms of requirements but be also linked to bans.
Like if you get banned you lose respected / you get respected after x posts with no bans
Then it would actually mean something quite significant
[QUOTE=ThatSprite;48180935]if you hit 10,000 posts within 5 years of signing up you should get permabanned with the message "Get a fucking life"[/QUOTE]
Well I'm on my way there...
At this point arguing to bring back Respected Users seems pointless. Particularly since all you get are bragging rights.
A lot of "bring back x thing that involves users being hand-picked by mods or community vote" seem like they'd end with people scrambling or begging to get things. I can't picture a mod wanting to take time out of his day to deal with this type of thing.

JohnnyMO would be quite respected though
[QUOTE=Drakehawke;48186208]you get respected after x posts with no bans[/QUOTE]
this by itself would result in a lot of "just barely passable" posts just so people can get respected
maybe you need to be gold first, then after x days and y posts without bans (60 and 750 respectively?) then you get respected
that way if you really are a good poster respected will just come naturally
