On the line where the title(s) goes, perhaps for 12 months after the change.
I would not necessarily be opposed to that requirement for that length of time. I also do like your proposal in that that it is something the member cannot change (whereas someone can easily change their signature), and I do believe custom titles are possible within the forum software.
Actually, I've seen that in the past where someone had requested a change, but that practice seems to have fallen out of use for some reason. I don't recall how long that title was in effect, though.

Another reason for having that in the title rather than the sig is that there is an option to turn signature visibility off.
