Who should have access to custom user titles?

[Sabru]

Lets break this down to simple point form, so as to make the sides easier to understand:

- If the issue for the mods (seeing as no comment has come from Admins) is just the time to moderate all the titles, then it seems a bit of a lazy objection. Just make a thread then, where posts are made invisible except for staff, and have a mod go through it say once a week setting approved titles or rejecting inappropriate titles. problem solved.

- If it is some titanic issue, then why do (some of) you guys bother changing your own or another staff members? At that point, it smells like some fragment of elitism floats under the surface and that's not particularly good.

- If it's not an issue at all, then just do it and stop prevaricating. There are suggestions in this thread that staff could enact to safeguard against any inappropriate titles slipping through while not increasing the mod's workload.

Since the general pro-side is now outlined, perhaps someone from each of the 2 anti-sides could present their arguments in point form. oh, and no vague arguments or ones that are already countered by previously mentioned suggestions.
