We sure are getting carried away with this. I recall in the 60's we used to joke that an expert programmer was the one assigned and a guru was programmer that did it once before. These various lables seem to have a similar level of useful meaning.

I know it's not as much fun, but I vote to ditch the titles completely. I come from the school of "Keep It Simple, Stupid." (No, it's not actually a school. More like distance ed.)
Hey, while you're at it, limit the signatures, clean up the interface, etc.
Right now each posting shows the avatar, name, time/date, post#, a "report" button (I've never noticed that before!), join date, location, # of posts, # of thanks, # of thankeds, thread title, signature, quote button, thanks button... Oh, and the actual content. Seems a little... unbalanced.
Clean that up and I promise that I'll have more fun.
If not, put me down for Sardine...

I like titles because it atleast gives me a sense of how involved the individual is on the forums. I know that does not indicate his worth to the community, but it could be an indication.

Right now, titles are completely useless. Any system based on post count is stupid, because, hey look: I can see exactly how many posts you have without looking at the title!
I think that after people get a few hundred posts or whatever, they can pick a name from a list of pre-approved ones (So we don't get names that are 100 words long).
Or just remove them. In communist maemo, everyone is a comrade!

When it was announced that itt was moving to maemo.org, there were comments that it was a non-event, little more than a name change, etc., etc. [...] IMHO, you should not propose use of maemo.org karma (since that is affected by much more than itt forum activity).
Karma is an obvious one. A link in (from their tmo profile page) back to the maemo.org profile page is another. Perhaps "company" too.
ITT is becoming tmo, everything under *.maemo.org should strive to show user contributions in as consistent manner as possible, and the current proposal for is: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Improving...Member_profile

X = # of posts of GA
0 - X/5 lurker
X/5 - 2X/5 casual typer
2X/5 - 3X/5 strong poster
3X/5 - 4X/5 message factory
4X/5 - 6X/5 GA lookalike
6X/5 - 10X/5 GA on steroids
20X/5 - 50X/5 carpal tunnel syndrome
50X+/5 man machine interface
adjust as necessary

I like the idea of karma being used to rate the person, assuming we even need ratings and assuming it can be fed in somehow.
