Although it may be seen that way, at the same time we all have things that we are known for. It's not as much about standing out as it is about wisdom. You earn a title unknowingly through something you do normally, you don't compete for it and you don't ask for it. It's like a certification of sorts. It holds no real value, it's just used more as a marker for users interests. If someone joins our site to learn more about a certain aspect of *nix those titles could guide them towards their answers through irc or pms rather then them just joining up and posting a repetitive thread. An occurrence we all know happens more then not on most forums. I see no real downfall to this feature, we are all mature here. This is a community we all built, we all know there is no injustice here. We need to set a standard and not fear having to enforce it.
