Sorry, but "wiktionary" is not an actual source.

"Damn it" is two words. It was only put together for the title, which has no spaces. Any "one word" contraction of "damn it" is not standard English. You guys can still use it if you want, but it will bother me.

Oh you prescriptive linguist you.

This is the only title that works with this. And I don't find the subject matter even vaguely titillating, so that's an achievement.

Morton is a new user who's probably unaware of social norms around here. That title may or may not be acceptable, but thanks for the heads up, I'm taking this issue to the higher-ups.

It's not so much a reward as an acknowledgement. Users are not dogs doing tricks for titles.

At least I hope not.

Okay, titles based on events at meets are not acceptable. Nor are, it seems, titles based on one-off threads based on meets; okay. So how far back is the complaint of OH NOES IT'S MEET BASED legitimate? If a title is based on a thread based on a thread based on a meet, does it carry more weight? If it's based on a thread based on a meet, but the thread passes x pages, does it carry more weight? See where I'm going? No? Then you're a moron.

My point is, how about instead of prolonging this fight endlessly in an effort to quantify the immediate relevance to the site a title suggestion has to have, we agree on setting a general guideline? Something along the lines of "when making a title suggestion, be aware that the level of connection to on-site content will be a factor in the Title Fairy's final decision," and from there we let Oman deal with it.
