Thanks for kind words all.
I've got to review a few things, but know that I'll be producing a thread that gathers your view on Title Fairy policy and takes the consensus higher up. That said: I'm not intending to devolve it into anything less than an thoughtful, planned look into titles.
For that reason, spend 10 minutes or so today thinking what you want out of titles, then when the thread comes, that will have more specific questions.
Love your new Title Fairy,
Oman.
EDIT: How remiss of me! Thok, you did a great job, and thanks for passing the torch. I know people will miss your specific brand of power abuse.Last edited by Oman on Mon Mar 15, 2010 12:42 pm, edited 1 time in total.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

I have no issue with Sudo getting a title referencing the event. I'm not sure it's all that exciting, as I never really noticed that tag, and when it went away, I didn't notice until notified. Feel free to convince me otherwise with a stunning title, but so far I think the response to the suggest one shows my thoughts "oh yeah, but kind of...yeah" Just nothing special.
As for DGB's. I'd really, really prefer it wasn't a "mash-up" of 17 different jokes. I think one or two (like the early ones) works, but 7-8 references in 13 letters? Not where I want it to go.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

Sudo_Newbie is way too similar to the username. And that is definitely something I'm trying to get rid of on the whole. Pseudo_Newbie is better, but still the same issue. Getting in early on Usedbie. I'm not a fan, I think it doesn't flow, has that jarring "d" in the middle. It doesn't sound nice -

Used-To-Be is a lot better, but see what you can do. I like the idea of it, but finding a happy medium where it makes a clear reference but doesn't sound like a Russian sword-swallower is trying a tongue-twister is the goal.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

From my perspective I feel thus about current nominations:
Ythan -
Welcome to the haystack is a good feel, I like it better than any of the others. The spam ones kind of miss the point that while he's posting huge amounts, it's not pointless. I lol'd at Ynslaught but am glad that has been pushed aside.
camn -
Yeah, look, I'm eh on it, but I can see why you feel it title worthy. Maybe if it could be something other than just "I am listening to something" because he listens to things! Get it?
Sudo -
I actually really, really like "Best Newbie" I think I prefer it with "Best Newbie Forever" or something that defines it as a constant. "Best Newbie since 2008" isn't a bad way of expressing it.
Just where I'd like to see things go. Also props to ether for being a minion on the username puns thing.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

Love it, really love it. Give it a bit more chance for someone to speak up for/against then I'll check what camn thinks. But so far has my approval.Cybele wrote:

Anyway: RE the Potato Pancake that wont shut the hell up. He's not getting a title, nothing. He even reacted favourably to "banned", so what does that tell you.
Anyway, Regards Reck's title, I like it enough, seems to have staying power. It's not my favourite, but I'll approve after I do this: "Anything else to say on this?"
Any more for any more on Ythan's? From my perspective, it's not inherently anti-town, so I don't feel like i'm encouraging the wrong technique. I'm willing to listen if anyone seriously disagrees with me, otherwise it'll be approved with Reck's.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

Thanks for the work on that Sable, I'll try to get those done when reviewing each title for approval.
Regards Pseudo newbie, I'd drop the underscore if it was added, it's already got enough in it without that.
But yes, there are some better ones out there as briefed.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

I entirely agree on this one.
After reviewing every comment and suggestion related to Sudo I'm happy to say there are two real options. Firstly, Best Newbie(+Since 2008/+Forever), or Pseudo Newbie.
The rest were good, but the support and simplicity of these push them to the fore. So It'll be one of these two or a variant of such. I'll mull it over and come back to abuse some power.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

Sudo gets Pseudo Newbie.
There was no ultimate argument either way, everyone made really valid points. I am really happy with Pseudo Newbie's reference to A) Sudo's best newbie status B) the fact that he wasn't really a newbie, and C) his name.
Yes the pun is there, and I'm not a huge fan of that, but I think the focus isn't on the pun, the focus is elsewhere. Add that to no other titles really capturing the idea like this one does.
Best Newbie Since '08 gets a special mention for having everything required, but just didn't have the flow.
Decision is made, front page.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

Okay ladies and gents: Assassins in the yadda yadda is two lines, and that physically seems impossible in our current code.
For that reason I suggest we move onto one line titles.
I'm happy to putGoon in the Palaceforward, but it really doesn't do it for me. I mean, I accept it could just be me, so I'm happy to roll it through anyway. I wouldn't mind a few people saying "Considering we can't have two lines: I really like GitP."

I think we had plenty of discussion and it's a good title too. Well done all that contributed.
Man, that sucks.
You used to stand for something, bro.
Now, you've sold out just like the rest of them.

I've given you the priv. The ACP link will show up at the very bottom of your screen, helpfully named "Administration Control Panel". You'll have to re-enter your password. Then you basically follow iamkingdavid's instructions - you should be locked down pretty hard from messing with anything else. Shoot me a PM if you get lost; probably your first task should be to clean up the ones that have now-broken HTML in them, to practice.
Regardless, I'll give it a shot, do some reading. If the site dies you know why.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

I feel like it's the same argument that I feel validates some of the pun-esque titles. When it comes down to borderline titles, I tend to think about what the focus is, the intent. The intent of Cobalt's isn't to insult him, and it isn't to promote poor behaviour. I honestly don't feel there to be a problem, but I am getting a creeping feeling that you know better than me, mith. However, with all respect to yourself, I disagree with you, and will keep it on the list.
I guess if it does set a bad precedent, and people troll for titles than 1) they were not in line with site philosophy anyway, and were likely to cause problems later; and 2) they will be recognisable and not be given it. And really, bad behaviour for a title? I just don't see it as a feasible threat, but I'll take the brunt of any blow-back.
Thanks for both advice and freedom here, mith.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

Hate to get this back on track, but Nobody Special:
I like the idea of his midnight woes, and I'm definitely open. From my perspective, subtlety is hilarious, and the Cinderfella line of thought really clicks with me. But yeah, I want to hear a little more discussion on it, I really don't want it to die.
I'm pretty sure Cybele doesn't want it referenced, and neither do I, so I'm happy to let that one go for now and wait until something surfaces. If we ran with He, the She right now, I think we'd be cutting it short and trying to ignore the conversations that happened here. Let's give it a few weeks, then review what we can on that.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-

I'm personally still happy with it encompassing what was a very large part of your history, and a huge element of you being awesome. However, primary concern is that you feel it fits. I'm happy for it to change, but would you have an issue with holding onto it so that we didn't have to go through Mafia Scum and then back to a custom (although with the new system that would be so much easier!)?
Regardless, my personal feelings are that I like WiKid, so I'm out of the guessing game until I can think of something I like as much as that.
Re: Referendum/Just letting me know. I'm against people keeping titles they don't feel fit them, and so I will happily change it without communal involvement, but I'm also against titles being transient. I don't want them to be a flavour of the week thing. Obviously yours is not (having been a long standing title with a large length of deviation), but I just want that to be out there for when the precedent tries to bite me on the arse.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts-
