They're just titles and it's only been a day. Give it enough time and everyone will have so many that it'll just be another customization option to represent yourself. I know I'll find it hard to remember which 10 are from 10 posts, or which are from 25, etc.
Having titles is something I always enjoy in foruns, especially if they match your personality. Maybe we will have some good 1st day titles and, in the future, even creating our own titles. Also, can't wait for the next phases to see if we can incorporate aspects of our created characters and campagins in our forum's profile.
@BadEye I'm going to use this post just to say a big thanks for the great forum! Its a wonderful space of discussion! And I am really impressed by how quick the development/support/admin team is to respond and implement the suggestionsfrom users and also resolve the problems (eg: menubar and avatar in mobile version, multi-quote option, etc). You guys are doing a great job!

More like I'm going to use this post to get more titles. Don't worry bud, that's what I do too. This is a safe place, you can be honest.
These forums are actually one of the best things on DnD Beyond so far, in my opinion. I used to browse the WotC forums all the time and it really sucked when they closed them down. This has become a sort of replacement for them now, and it has the same feel that the old forums had. It's nice!
I like this feature, and in past development work that I have done - I actually incorporated the points system into other facets of the service. I could see an opportunity to do that here as well. Contributing content to Home Brew systems, making character public for others to use, etc.. could all add points as well. Make those worth more, and you stop rewarding simple one word posts (typical downside to point based forum "achievements"), and you encourage more actual content. I have also seen it done where points were based more on thread up votes than just posts in general, but that gets sticky as well.
The titles are just a reward system for people when they make a certain amount of posts. I'd rather see people get titles on the forums for up votes on their posts, or thanks is what I think it's called on here. Titles that are dependent on the amount of posts a person makes tends to clutter up the forums with needless threads and comments that are solely for "titles". Maybe I should make a thread about this! Oh, the irony...

I'd say sit back and enjoy the options.

I would, however the up/down vote feature is missing on my phone. I have made a post about this. :(

This is great! Thanks for the heads up!
Gracias, sir.

Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the full chart OP!
So, am I missing the point of these titles to which everyone is discussing? I really don't know that I understand the point of them...

Oooooh, which ones?!
This is kinda cool! :) Really hints at the customizability to cone
Maybe this question has been answered already, but i didn't read all seven pages of this thread...
Are these titles really just counting your overall posts or do some of them only apply for different categories?
