After lots of requests and concerns from multiple members, I've decided to remove the post count, user title and user reputation features from the forum.
The true purpose of these functions were to reward those who contribute to the community by helping other members. We've been noticing increased gaming of these systems and they weren't really serving their intended function anymore. In fact it could be said that the opposite of what we had intended was happening.
Instead, we will probably be instituting a medal system to reward those who have been extremely helpful to the community. More details on that in the future.
We realize that the Captain Google Title was a big deal for many and although I did agree to it yesterday, the more I thought about it, I could not leave it on. The reason is the same as I said in the stream. It is unfortunate but there will probably be many others who pass on from UU and we can't set a precedence of action for these situations.
The Ukulele Hero Title has also been removed to prevent gaming the post count system.
