Agreed.
The only titles which mean anything to me are the ambassador/company rep/moderator/TB member titles. And of those, 'ambassador' actually to me means something more special because it was earned through helping the community and is recognition of their efforts (Rather than 'evangelist' etc which requires quantity, not quality)
The other ones are to me nothing, although I do wonder what the reward is for achieving them, sometimes!

+1 on the idea of removing the post count titles. If you are TB, CD, mod, admin or ambassador, you have the title, everyone else is 'just' a member. I would even eliminate the post count showing under the member name. It has no true value whatsoever. If anyone sees value in it, they can look it up in the member's profile.

Ah, I thought that you were referring to the 100,000 FF miles FT hands out to posters once they reach Evangelist status. Apologies for misunderstanding!

Why is it that I can't help but look at the title of this thread and immediately imagine it being a category on Saturday Night Live's Celebrity Jeopardy?

How about this: no one should get a title but me. And mine should be: His Royal Coolness.
That's a motion if anyone wants to second it! ^

Or, if we must, let users choose from the titles that Diamond Club offers when signing up: https://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/loy...mond-club.aspx
I think FlyerTalk Viscount has a nice ring.

FlyerTalk Lion is where it's at.

Disappointing, even if the community want it!

And it's not the community that feels that way, it's a couple of posters. Big difference.
