    As far as I am aware, the Mod Squad voted on all of the custom titles. None were "arbitrarily given" by any one person alone.

    Also, as far as I am aware, there was no "Defender of Flat Caps", but if there was, it was funny and meant something to those who are "in the know", and would just be shrugged off by those who weren't.



    Hear, Hear! I cannot say it better.



    Again, I think this is a fallacy. These so-called "vanity titles" were NOT put there by one person with no input from anyone else, but rather voted on by the entire Mod Squad, many of whom are no longer moderators since Steve took over the forum. Some of whom are no longer comfortable even visiting this forum since their input is gradually being erased.



    As it was not the whim of an individual before you, Steve.

    Sorry, but you asked for opinions and I am an opinionated kind of gal!

    Be well,
    I agree with Star. The titles were a bit of fun that added quite a bit. Seems to me that piece by piece all the fun is being sucked right out of XMarks. I suspect this is going to become a VERY expensive experiment.
