They aren't allowed simply because Darren hasn't enabled them for all users.
Staff members,Mods,some SG PTB and other contributors to the site have custom titles,but the only way I've seen for ordinary members to win one has been for special milestones like hitting the 2,3 ,4 millionth posts.The place to "Gate" to during Outages for updates and info:

Good point !
Most of us would probably choose something inoffensive ,but there'd be some who would insist on something a bit more colourful as their title.
(I could be wrong ,but I think only Admins would be able to change the custom titles in cases of abuse/bad taste ,so that'd give Darren,Greg and Sky even more to oversee.)The place to "Gate" to during Outages for updates and info:

Maybe custom titles could be possible if you have enough posts! Same thing like with a personal avatar. You have to get certain number of posts before you can upload your personal avatar.Lord Zedd

I don't know if it was corrected, or not, but the list of ranks left out First Sgt
In the US Army it is the same pay grade as the Army MSG, but technically outranks him. Usually, he is the company level senior NCO compared to the Battalion level senior NCO who is usually SGM
In the USAF, a 1SGT can be Tech through *I have seen* Senior MSG. It is more of a title and job position than a rank.
And as far as "First Sergeant" (also known as "First Shirt" or just "Shirt") goes, it's actually a title, not a rank in the USAF and is distinguished by a diamond on the rank insignia. The individual holding that title can be anywhere from a Master Sergeant to Chief Master Sergeant.
A "First Sergeant" is the non-commissioned officer liaison between the enlisted ranks and the commanding officer in a squadron. It's a voluntary position and you have to go to a special school before you can earn your diamond.
P.S. If you noticed in some of the episodes, one of the gate techs had a diamond insignia, I just don't remember what ep or character.

I think quite a few of us noticed,though some didn't like the changes.
There's a load of posts here,plus the rank post counts ,etc.
