take for example, when someone "gifts" you a new custom title, and you have no control over what it says, and have to earn 10,000 gil to sort it.
it's a bit steep no?
EDIT: To whomever reset my custom title, Thank you but that wasn't exactly what i was getting at. Although it does show me that should someone fall foul of this you can repair it one way or another, for which i am grateful, although i wast complaining about yoko, that was quite funny
When somebody changes your custom title you get a PM about it. In your case, is most likely the bug around custom titles. Post here to get it back: http://www.animeforum.com/showthread...ing-this-issue.
As for your concern, we do bring back rude and inappropriate titles, if we find them or somebody points them to us (possibly the account owner, so we get to know which title they want immediately). The reason why it costs so much is because you don't get just a fancy icon on your profile, but a whole site feature which your user level doesn't offer and we feel that it needs to be properly balanced.
Steep? Nah I think its fair! I'm not sure if noobs should have full access to features others do. Also gives them reason to stay. Lol. If you wanted a usertitle change, I would of gladly changed it back. Ha.Quote:

@FlashD thanks but what about the more reserved noobs, the ones who are more likley to leave from a subtle trolling like that, the ones who will go rarther than make a fuss?
If someone leaves over a usertitle change, then maybe they should leave. Its really not a big deal and not a reason to get butthurt over.. You may of not been butthurt, but anyone indeed butthurt needs to get over it. Srs.Quote:

The internet may not be for them then lol. Though, a kid getting pissed I can sorta understand. Lol, though for those reasons seem a little pointless. The usertitle change IMO is more of a joke than a troll, and has been done in the past. If someone does get mad over it, I'm all for spending my gil and changing it back though. For example. My usertitle was changed, but I like it. Usertitles are just that. Just usertitles. Hope that clears it up.Quote:

And whether the internet is for them or not is not our place to judge. they are here, we must accomodate fairly. in fact, i actually feel quite insulted, because i am one of them
Of course we can judge. If kids\adults can't take a usertitle change, then they aren't ready for the internet. I feel like we are blowing this out of proportians.. Why should we accomodate for butthurt people? I really can't see the logic in that. Unless you mean for kids? Even still. I still can't see why. They joined the internet. Its not liked I hacked someone. Its only a usertitle change..Quote:

That is all. Having my usertitle as "Yoko litner fan" is innofensive and funny, however, its just as easy to make someones title "noob" or "forever alone"Quote:

I have a lot of experience with special needs kids and adults, and i know a few people who would have just left, and then you'd have lost some lovley helpful creative and community minded people.
look, i realise its a long shot anyway, a small chance, but i like to think about people rather than statistics.
Once more, this was never about your little gag with me yoko, i dont want you to feel like im having a go because i'm really not. I'd even stand you doing it again, although youd probably get a visitor message or two about it lol.
Even though I brought that up, isn't what I actually mean. Im saying most people don't quit over that. If they do then they are truly missing out lol.. Yeah the system is sorta unfair towards new members, but Im not even sure if new members care fully about usertitles. I see your point, but don't think its a huge issue. Though maybe the admins will disagree? You need to remember. Im just a member. What I say isn't always accurate. Im just outspoken, but I indeed get your point.Quote:
