After a few minutes of local testing and per the request of @Phenom who reminded me that this was something that existed in the good ol' Vbulletin days, there is now an option available to the community to add HTML to your user titles. The only catch being that it has to be Admin-set and once you try to modify it from your profile on your own, it will set it back to user-set, which is to be expected to prevent any kind of hackery or simply XSS-related attacks.
Given that @Phenom was my first test dummy, you can all get a free HTML user title edit on the house, nothing too crazy, and after the freebee, we'll discuss internally within our staff ranks on how to award this new perk/feature fairly.
