This is a thing.
This all still applies as far as I'm concerned btw.

Doot nomination process has given me a lot of entertainment value, I don't think the last point stands.

I also heavily disagree how this is comparable to Shotty given many people on there own accord are campaigning for the title and the current movement hasn't been directly influenced by Vonflare?
I also don't think this argument is actually relevant at all in regards to whether or not the title is good and if you have an ethics issue with how this is handled I think you should talk to that with Psyche directly.

Your titles are for your unnecessary wall posting
One, not inherently negative behavior. Verbosity is verbosity, nothing more and nothing less. Two, you might note there's good reason why I have shut down the titles suggested for me along those same lines. I've no desire to be titled for the sake of titling me, I've no desire to seek out a verbosity-based title, I've no desire to be awarded something which isn't actually worth awarding.

It's not a matter of him wanting the title after it's suggested.
It's a matter of him wanting the title before it's suggested and then during the suggestion and after it's shot down to still continue wanting it even after the title fairy explicitly says "no". That level of campaigning for the title is not something which should be rewarded. It should be punished.

Nominate mastina for “Soap Box”

This references the fact that mastina posts are very long winded and much like impromptu speech.
References the fact she thinks what she is saying is important.

So I guess this just isn't special enough.

Next idea pls.
Pretty sure this was the real reason why shotty's title was rejected anyways.

The shitposters have hijacked the title thread. Title fairy is being held hostage by self-imposed societal conventions.

I thought we were talking about a title for Papa Zito.

Are vonflare and Papa Zito so interchangeable that we can use the same title for both?

The light was ebbing, and Kublai Klan could not distinguish the title fairy's face. The fairy had said it simply, without expression. but from the sunset far at the end of the thread, yellow glints caught his eyes, and eyes looked straight at Kublai Khan, mocking and still -- as if the question had been addressed to the causeless uneasiness within him.

the Title Fairy thread is an aspect of site culture and titles are allowed to be based on just one aspect of site culture. "doot" as a title for vonflare is absolutely a part of this thread's culture. I guess you could make an argument that it's setting a bad precedent that you can gain a particular persona just by trying to convince everyone that it is your persona for well over a year but, like, that's a built-in feature of human culture in general

That is all.
