I don't agree with username puns being inherently bad. Many of them may be lame but you can't just ban them outright.

One of the cool things about Public asking for expressions of opinion on matters such as this is that when you're told you "can't" do something you've already done, it's very easy to say "you had your chance, mate."sirdanilot wrote:I don't agree with username puns being inherently bad.

You disagree, I get it, don't say I cannot ban them outright. I gave plenty of time for discussion and you didn't show up there, where it could have changed things. So I made my decision. Forcing a funny situation into a lame username reference is no longer acceptable. I promise, next time policy is reviewed, if you get involved, you might prevent this kind of embarrassment.

I disagree with rule 3. Totally. I alsogave my opinion. Some username punned titles are good and I think you are banning them mainly because its your personal opinion and not because they are necasserily bad. If you do not change this rule I refuse to let you call me Prozac again

Flay, I was talking more about sirdanilot himself.
However, I am happy to allow an exceptional username based title, the reason I didn't say "username based titles are cool if they're really good" is because then everyone says "Well mine is exceptional, so I'll suggest that." If I can't qualify the "goodness" required to make an avatar based title, then I'm not going to open that door in policy.
Secondly, the policy I originally wrote just mentioned username titles not all that good, and mith suggested to me that it be emphasised. I made the decision to cast a blanket statement over all username+avatar titles, because I have no idea where to draw that line.
The term "usually" or "exceptional" don't qualify it enough to stop people from trying to cram nearly every title into a pun. I'm all ears on how to solve that. Unless you can help me out with a good qualifier, it stays.

Ani, titles aren't funny by their own virtue though. They're funny by the stories and personality linked to it. If I say "this is a funny title" it doesn't work for people who weren't around during that time, titles are a very interesting thing in that the words themselves aren't all that "lol".
To people new to titles, placing a title for a person they've only met in passing will not clear it up for them.

I guess I understand. I wasn't around when the Prozac thing started. Heck, I've barley even heard of Prozac.

Yes, so while I'm happy you're helping, and giving input, it's just not the answer we need.

See, knowing the story, I find that hilarious. I bet there are several people that don't find that all that funny.
Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 2:34 pm
Yeah, you really need to know the context of it. Which would be a reason to include it in the example.
Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 2:46 pm
Regardless, I don't find a subjective example as a good enough measure. I suppose it's mostly covered under "reserves the right to deny any title" rule, but I wanted to be clear that I don't find them particularly clever and (as Flay put it) it would have to be exceptional.
Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2010 3:48 pm
An example isn't necessary. Just try and if he says no he says no.
