Sorry if this has been explained and I missed it.

I’ve seen at least one new member title, “Best of the Worst”. Is it now possible to have a custom title in certain circumstances? Should I put in my request now?

It’s explained [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=431810).

I suppose it means it’d possible, but you’d need some kind of good reason.
