Hi,

I have a question about whether I can disable only the ability to change titles for all users on Discourse ?

You can hide it with css see [this documentation topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/making-custom-css-changes-on-your-site/168101)

But I’m not sure why you’d do this since only staff can change titles, not normal users \[1\].

1. unless its a badge title but you can disabe that too

Automatic groups like the trust level ones you mentioned above don’t have the option do add a title. You’d have to create new groups for ranking system.

> Hi everyone, I have set up a ranking system with custom titles, but as you know, Discourse doesn’t have a built-in way to assign a default title to all new users.
