The distinction between Coders/Designers and Members exist, so it is appropriate to title accordingly. Some members have released work and others haven't, this is not judging anyone or dividing any member, it's simply a classification.

The argument regarding the case that some hold these titles without justifying the meaning behind them, well, we never said these titles were qualitative of an authors work. There is no way to judge something like that artificially, and it would be even hard to judge it realistically because we all have different styles and taste regarding proper programming methods.

And, as others have stated, some coders enjoy their title and take pride in it. There is nothing wrong with that.
