Just a thought - past scummies winners should get the award as their title, but only the current year would get thebanner
e.g. all past winners of kodak moment get 'Kodak Moment' as their title (unless they already have a unique title), but only mastina gets the banner AND the titleTHIS POST IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.-

The obvious negative of that is the multiple award winners. It could get messy.GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!

Here are some cons you should understand, though. This would be a bit of work (get list of past scummy winners, filter out those who already have titles, create unique titles for the remainder, handle repeats and multi-winners-within-a-single year, assign them to the people on this list, repeat every year for expired winners), and easy to do wrong or in a way that's just cluttered. Furthermore, it could overshadow the current titling tradition and/or the titles of people who got their titles the traditional way.You can't step in the same river twice.-

These are valid cons. The work thing doesn't seem too bad, but most people don't have an actual idea of how much work it would be, nor would they be doing it.In post 5488, Psyche wrote:Here are some cons you should understand, though.

Furthermore, it could overshadow the current titling tradition and/or the titles of people who got their titles the traditional way.
The fear of overshadowing the currently titled is a big thing though. I don't think it would necessarily "overshadow" those titles, because those are each unique, while these other ones are only differentiated by the year of the award, BUT with multiple awards, the sheer bulk of text could make it more notable.
So the question becomes: Is someone who wins 5 scummies but doesn't have a current title, someone who should be more "unique" than someone who's been titled by the community?GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!

It's sort of an accomplishments versus legacy question. Scummies being accomplishments, and titles being representative of the legacy and memories others have of you.GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!

This is a horrible idea.Occasionally intellectually honest
