More forum titles?
Currently the only titles you can get (without great difficulty) are New scratcher and scratcher. But that means the scratchers who have been on for a few months seem the same at a glance as those who have been on for a few years, so maybe the latter could have a title for themselves. People who go I'VE GOT THIS TITLE SO I SAY YOU'RE A NOOB could just get banned.
Look at the post down there to see a list of titles people could have.
Currently I would use the title "procrastinator" if I didn't have an excuse for not releasing..

Re: More forum titles?
I don't think it's a huge issue. You will recall, of course, that the intent of these forums is not to label oneself as being better than another; rather, the purpose is to provide help for Scratchers - old and new - regardless of their age.

Re: More forum titles?
That'll just make people say "I'm a Veteran Scratcher and you're not", won't it? 
And anyway I don't see a use...
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: More forum titles?
It'll just make people 'superior' to others - you know, older users will bully newer users, and there'll be things like, "Shut up, you noob! I'm a Veteran Scratcher!".
Really, this would just cause trouble.

Re: More forum titles?
Good point. Maybe they could be awarded to only modest users?

Re: More forum titles?
SECOND IDEA. People could have titles depending on what they specialize in?
So that would make me: Complex ~Programmer~ And Maki-tak ~Animator~
My idea for titles:
~Scratcher
~Programmer~
~Animator~
~Musician~
~Graphic Designer~
~Spammer~
~Gamer~
~Collabarator~
~Comedian~
~Popular~
~Procrastinator~
~Noob~
~New Scratcher~
~Scratch team~
~Moderator~
Of course, even if a "Veteran Scratcher" title was made, The people who overly-use it could get banned.

The people with the title "Programmer" might get mad at the people with the title "Animator", and people could pick on people with the title "noob", and people with the title "spammer" could get bullied.

Well, people choose the titles. If they get picked on for choosing noob or spammer, not my fault.

Re: More forum titles?
My idea is simply to let people easily notify others of their skills. So they can say they program, animate or procrastinate.

Re: More forum titles?
My idea is simply to change that, people being stuck with the titles they have been given.

I think it's just silly and is a waste of the Scratch Team's time to implement.
