Is there a way to remove the titles and/or GM stars that appear next to your name when you post in PFSociety forums?
I looked through my profile options and didn't see anyway to do that.
/edit Should have been more clear. Can we have a way to remove GM stars and titles that appear next to our name on the forums?
no it's an automatic recognition

Yes, I know. Thanks for your comments.
Just wondering if we could get a way as users to REMOVE all of the titles and stars next to our names.
Just an interesting topic, I actually could care less if the option were or were not available, but I perceive that it is kind of a privacy issue.
Very real situation if you are involved in financial dealings that go sour with someone who knows you are on this site, a banner such as my current one implies I have the liquid assets to fork over money to paizo every month.
Out of curiosity, why would this be something a forumite would want? Is there some benefit to turning off your titles and/or GM stats. I guess I just don't see the need.
Maybe the GM star thing seems too much like a willy-waving contest. E.g. "Why should I believe you over him? You only have one star and he has three!"
Just speculatin'. :-)

More choice is nearly always a good thing.
.It doesnt really bug me as such but when I first began posting here it seemed odd to me that if I wanted to post on the forums I was forced to reveal to everyone else how much money I spent with Paizo each month.
(It's less of an issue now you can have an alias as your default avatar - or now I've learnt you can do that anyway),

Interestingly enough, I've had two different people harass/insult me just because I have "RPG Superstar" next to my name. They disagreed with my opinions on who-knows-what and wrote things like "you may be an 'RPG Superstar', but you sure don't know [BLAH]" and "I can't believe you actually think that; but then I'm a mere mortal, maybe one day I can be a 'Superstar' like you". (Lest there be any confusion, I've never used that status to try and give weight to my position in a discussion - these folks brought it up themselves.)
I can't speak for sveden's motives in particular, but I'm sure he has his reasons.

Yeah, I used to post a lot more frequently in business discussion threads (stuff about Amazon, release dates, FLGS treatment, etc.). I liked those discussions, sometimes. Then I got the "Owner - Enchanted Grounds" tag and was regularly getting dinged for having a biased opinion. I, of course, think that was not the case, but that's not really defensible when I have that tag.
I stopped posting in those threads, or even reading them.
I like my stars, though. If I'm in the PFS forum, I'm not sure why I wouldn't want them. It shows how much I contribute to my area, and I don't think that's a bad thing to show.
yeah i recall a conversation on a forum way back where it was stated "just because you an X star GM"
I buy all my stuff from my FLGS anyway, but i wouldnt want what i purchase displayed
Why'd the stars move to the left of our user name? blech.
p.s. I love the tabs up top.

We rolled out a major rewrite of our messageboards code today, and things will be wonky for awhile as things get cleaned up. This thread is where I'll post updates as things straighten out.
