RAZnTIF:
To truly answer your question, the subtitles of Scholar, Sage, and Guru come from your Kharma. See, when you post, anyone with a post Kharma of 3.01 or greater can rate you. The rating is used to determine what post comes up on what filters. I can't remember what the exact scale is, but it does go in order of Scholar, Sage, Guru.
As far as benefits from the subtitles, as long as you got a post kharma >3.01, you can be like the rest of these vindictive ***-holes (with a few exceptions) and make sure no one else ever achieves rateable status. God forbid anyone TRY to rate down someone with a post count of >2K. Like it's even fĂșcking possible.
Now, the titles of Overloard, -The Flatulent, -The Malevolent, etc. come from a paid membership to the site. Paid membership as it's own benefits.
