I don't think this is right. We get rid of a perfectly good feature just because 2 or 3 people abused it. What happens when youresam is unbanned and he finds another feature to abuse?

Frozen, could you discuss this backstage first or something? I didnt exactly make this early, lots of people had'nt had chances to sign yet.
Could you at least give us until tomorrow, then close it?
I betcha a bunch of people will sign here. It's not fair that you won't even give us a chance to "See if others support and agree with it".
It was discussed backstage; before, during, and after it's removal.
Do not blame this on any single staff member as it appears you are trying to do.
As much as you'd like this site to be a democracy, it's not. A decision has been made and it will stand until further notice.
Changer user title, yes for premium members to change ONLY their own.
No for anything else.
All I'm doing is suggesting we members get a say in this. Every time something happens like this the majority of the staff gets pissed because we are trying to voice our opinion. Isn't that what forums are about?
All I'm doing here is getting a point through your heads, we need a say in this too, forums aren't about just the staff, but the members too.
Well...youresam may not be coming back so we wouldn't have him to worry about. A few users have indeed abused it while others have used it correctly and within the rules. However, a look over the history and it's been a bit more than just a few. I would add up good vs bad, however there still remain users who would abuse it. Taking youresam out of the equation will not help as this has always been an issue and it seems no matter what we do, it never gets better.Zitat:

I will still be welcoming new comments on this matter in this thread until tomorrow if that is what you wish for because I am seeing your points on this matter and am weighing them versus my view, and a majority of the other moderators of this situation. The staff here are also members of the forums, your opinions are ours, we just see more than you do. We will listen.Zitat:

PS: We do have a thread regarding the issue backstage and that is why we have disabled the feature, a group consensus.
Put this thread on probation, if we get *insert fair number here* signatures by *insert date here thats not today, or early tomorrow*, can we have this locked, and we get the feature back?
If we dont make the deadline, lock this, and there goes our chance of recovery?
Seems very fair to me.
EDIT: OK, Frozen, seems fair. :)
Edit2: Keep the signatures coming, guys, we have a deadline to meet!
BBUNDY!
Unless the points problem is solved it's going to be abused. End of story.
I'm not going to bother to read this whole thread. as I don't really care what everyone else has to say.
but my only issue with the title thing (while it lasted) was that there was no rollback (to the title you previously had)feature.
It would have been better then having it reset to "PREMIUM Member" and having to pay to change it back to what I had to begin with. It should not cost me to have my title back.
I was going to bring it up, but alas it was removed before I even got a chance. **** it, i'm tired of caring about it.
And on side note
FI is like a dark rain cloud, mostly everyone is happier when he's not around.

For the record I don't know why my name is even in the first post. Where TheSilenceOfNoOne has gotten this misinformation I don't know but is incorrect just the same.
I had NOTHING to do with re-enabling the feature and I had NOTHING to do with disabling it again. I wasn't consulted either way so I would appreciate leaving me out of this whole affair.
Myst said that. Well, I'm editing the first post now so that shouldn't be a problem anymore, Neil.Zitat:

Cmon guys this is going to be closed later today! Lets hit 30 before then!
No one cares.
Seriously, Its not a "OMGZ! IM GOING TO DIE WITHOUT THIS FEATURE!"
Seriously, What if we didn't have vbplaza at all? Then what would you do?
Not pay for prem, because then Prem would have only the no ads benefit.Zitat:

Stop *****in' about the feature's removal.
Just let the staff decide on whats best for the community, They been doing a good job so far.
The community wants to decide what's best for it. I agree it should be brought back. Add me to that petition.
@Anti-QJ:
Gawd.
Its someone in the staff who recommended I do this anyway, so quit trolling.
@Maniaxe:
How would you like your name? Regular?
Anti-QJ isn't trolling, he's arguing. Trolling is different.
I'm not trolling.
I'm just saying maybe we should just wait it out and see what the staff think, Should they bring it back and have users abuse it like they always do or should we leave it disabled and have users like someone here complain?
Lets just wait it out and see what happens.
I think it would be nice to have it back, But think of the consequences.
I think it adds some community to the thread. like "oh man that joker *insert name here* changed my user title LOL" it's not like this forum is that serious of a place.
I'm signing, Even though I got my user title changed to things that I dont like, it doesn't matter :)

For a second there, I though PSPGamer was actually agreeing with me. O_oZitat:

@Racer, thats what I'm trying to prove to them, its not like a bit of joking around is going to kill us all.

0_o I guess i did? Just being safe, i guess :D
I'm against anything related to the modification of someone else's profile. It's always met with more problems than anything positive. Yes, I'm an admin and I do know what the original intentions were for having such things but this statement is my own.
I would much rather see the community spend time trying to find some alternate vbplaza add-ons they might be happy with.
I smell another contest, eh Neil?
I sign. I want to change my title as well.
Please... Post your name, a size, color and a font. Like this:

Random name. :PC:
Just so you know.. this isn't about you changing your title; it's about somebody else being able to change your title.Zitat:
