Custom and non-Custom signs above the Avatar, what are they?

As the title says what are they?

I mean hose signs like evryone has, for example Academy Page or Ascalon Squire or whatnot.

Some people have custom ones like "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee BAM!" or "^Spell it right" or whatnot.

So the questions are: What are they? Why are they needed? How do they change? and How to make a custom one?

thx.

There is a thread that links to the list of those "titles" in the questions and answers section. Its also a sticky so hard to find.

Here is the page with the list of "titles"
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...les-id2018.php

Basically it just shows how many posts you have made, and the custom ones are for mods.

Edit: just noticed this was in the questions and answers forum *got here from main page*. the thread with the link is the bottom sticky.

Wow dont think Ill ever be a Tyrian Patriarch. Thats tons.

What Azazel said, plus:

Admins and mods can make their own titles. Paid subscribers get a title like mine.

And others, like myself, get titles from mods if you have done alot for the community or if you just spammed so dang much that you had the last title possible. The admins give out titles very rarely to a very select few number of users. Used to be called favor of the mods. oO
