    Default Custom user title for non mods and changing one's account name

    is there the possibility that a non-mod get a custom user title (like "Half-elf half dwarf in the playground" or "Dwelf in the playground")? and if there is... can user name be changed once the custom user title is acquired? i dont like being called stuff just because I posted x times.

    May you never feel prey to the urges of being a culture vulture...
    May you, above all and most importantly, have the luck to pat a nat cat.

    It's based entirely on post count (excepting mods, retired mods, and Rich himself) and is also pretty much irrelevant. Pretty sure there's a rule that it's supposed to be irrelevant... Ah, here it is!

    So yeah, no changing it from the usual track short of becoming a mod, but it also shouldn't be a big deal.

    I know what it says there, but I find it contradictory to be here calling myself a gnomish dwelf, while at the same time I am called a halfling or a dwarf or a titan or a colossus.

    Well, it's contradictory the same way it's contradictory that your job title doesn't match your name (well, unless you're Qunari, I guess) . That is, it's not really meant to match and it's rather irrelevant.

    Seems like an odd reason to do it, but since your plan is basically to be as well-behaved and trustworthy as possible, I doubt anyone will mind.
