Dance of the Title Fairy: ORCA's Greatest Hits

[SleepyKrew]

It's not really a gift from the community.

[animorpherv1]

nominate SK for 'not really a gift'

In all serious now, I don't understand the point that he's shoving it down our throats. If it was a bad title there would be much less +1ing to it.

[Nexus]

Who is actually arguing against Om's title?

[Kublai Khan]

Mastin makes an excellent point.

tl;dr

---

Nominate

Om to the Nom for

Gold Star!

because he worked really hard and we're all really, really proud of him.

It's more or less the same reason for the stupid SpamWow title you guys are nth-ing to give him, but it's more accurate and isn't stupid.

Propose

new rule to the title fairy thread: If your argument for/against a title is "but, but, but what about <existing title>" then kindly STFU and GTFO.


That's my 2 cents. Since I made two great points early, I'm going to withdraw those 4 cents, for a total of 6 cents and add it to Flameaxe's previous 4 cents, making this a friggin motherfricking dime's worth of motherthunder knowledge dropped on your asses. Deal with it.

[Om of the Nom]

Over here we don't have 2 cents to begin with.
That's my 5 cents.

[DeasVail]

I really like SpamWow! fwiw. I think it just fits Om very nicely because of his uninhibited posting as well as the spambot thing.

Why does it hurt you so much for Om to get a title?

[izakthegoomba]

Why does it hurt you so much for Om to get a title?

Hurt who?

[Om of the Nom]

Seriously though KK, your argument would be much better if it wasn't for the fact that I spam games too. The whole reason my suggestion came about was to try and make it reference that too, to give it an extra layer of depth and hilarity. You've argued against one half of the title but not the other.

[Kublai Khan]

Oman said he wanted more discussion before he makes up his mind. I think it's a horrible title and a pretty lame reason to award a title. So I'm making arguments against it. Do you always ask shitty questions and insult people when you don't get your way?

[Kublai Khan]

That isn't the type of behavior that we should be encouraging, either.

[esuriospiritus]

welllll he kind of has a point, spamming isn't anything original. we've given plenty of people titles for it before and IDK why if it's not something we want to encourage.

[N]

Lol.

[Om of the Nom]

I think it's a horrible title and

a pretty lame reason to award a title.

Khan Man

So you should get a bad username pun and I shouldn't get one for helping the site?

If this is all about encouraging good behaviour then I don't know why you're arguing against a title aimed at ridding spam from the forums.

[Kublai Khan]

I dislike it. So I'm arguing not to reward it. As is my right.

Khan Man

If this is all about encouraging good behaviour then I don't know why you're arguing against a title aimed at ridding spam from the forums.

1) I had zero input on my title, never approved it, and generally acknowledge that's it's awful.
2) Where did I ever say you shouldn't get a title? I even nommed you for a title.
3) You didn't "help the site" or "rid spam from the forums". The accounts you linked to were old and not posting any spam besides some link in their sigs that nobody would ever see. It won't stop future spambots from posting spam.
4) The false altruism kinda bothers me as well. "I did good! Gimme title!"

[Om of the Nom]

1) Then why do you have your title if you never approved it? Isn't that against the whole spirit of them in the first place?
2) Your title suggestion was terrible and you should feel terrible.
3) I've been posting spambots since March 25th (or 24th in American timeones). Those long lists were just the tipping point that caused the nominations. I've been helping to get rid of them for a long time, and I am not going to stop doing so. Sure, the lists won't stop future spambots, but neither will deleting them in the first place. Doesn't mean I won't find them when they appear.
4) Frankly this is coming after the fact and doesn't really say why I don't deserve it. You're trying to make it sound like after I get the title I'll just cease hunting spambots or helping the site when really I won't do that.

[shaft.ed]

Not that I dont think Flameaxe is overstating the "shoving it down our throats" but Om did post 8 times in thread essentially campaigning for his title, which is rather poor form IMHO

Title itself is kinda meh, but I'm old and crotchety so you should definitely listen to me

[Om of the Nom]

When you consider my age and immaturity it's really not much of a surprise that I do want a title...

1) Dunno.
3) Ugh.. You mean you think you're extra special because you use an intended forum thread for it's intended purpose?
2) Re-consider the "Gold Star!" nomination.

[Om of the Nom]

Everyone else seems to think I'm extra special because of it. It's not like everyone reports spam.
Frankly the whole thing regarding the lists

actually made chamber motivated enough to do something for once

. That should be title-worthy in and of itself :3

[Nexus]

I report spam, I'm just not bored enough to go find out every single shitty spam bot that has an account but isn't doing any harm.

This discussion is stupid. Please stop.

[Om of the Nom]

What makes my title more special is the fact that you can turn it into a joke referencing how I post so much in games. This is what I'm getting at.

[kdowns]

Is it possible to De-Nom? I mean I would seriously start considering it for Om. Om, it's starting to get annoying on how much you are campaigning for your title. Let the other people who nommed you fight this battle, not the person who the title is being Nommed for.

[drmyshotgun]

Khan has valid point.
As much as I like Om, I think my nomination for Om's title was based on on-site friendship I've come to develop with him rather than the deeds he's done for the site.
Not willing to fight for nor against.
