Really the titles don't bother me, Generally I code for people on a private client basis rather then on the public side, thats just what I do. The title only add's the benefit of the coders chat, which while a nice resource, isnt needed by me and so yes, they are right, I wouldn't notice it missing, but it is nice. :P If I was after the coder tags id be posting hacks I have made just to get there, but to what point? I don't get my clients from my little vb.org tag, I get my clients from old work iv completed. I just don't see the big deal in why people complain about it, I mean, I understand that if someone really worked for it and then saw someone who bullshitted their way to it get it as well, they would generally be angry, but is it really needed? Maybe just make a list of 10 to 100 of the best coders on the site based on the difficulty and such of their work and how much they have contributed, this could be voted or selected by people who are established coders [Above Advanced] so that those people who do feel disgusted by the hacks that are one line changers can then still have the ego and glory that they worked for by having their name on the 'list'.
