Dance of the Title Thread: Resurgence in wild?

[PenguinPower]

The revolution has begun.

[the worst]

this is definitely not a cover for the greater bird insurgence in 2020, definitely not.

[PenguinPower]

Oh shoot - I was too early.

Sorry.

So, what are the odds we can get Skygazer's title on tw since they're now the GTKAS mod?

[the worst]

i think skygazer's title is very much skygazer-centric. i'll run with a lot of her innovation but it's still that: her innovation.

I'm very disappointed that we're not allowed to force ducks to run through the streets of this thread to an arena.

Agreed that ducks doesn't need a title update to celebrate his new job, esp given he didn't need a title update to celebrate his old job.

[Alisae]

What's the meat of it?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Hi, I’m back.

[vonflare]

What's the meat of it?

salamence wanted a ban a while back and the admins didnt give it to him so he resorted to spamming simply the letter a

he made countless posts and topics containing only the letter a, and eventually got his desired ban.

He recently was unbanned after several years, and was greeted by many enthusiastic 'a's from people that around during that time.

anyway it's a good title relating to a funny moment related to a specific user please nth pass and accept thanks

[mastina]

It seems like a good title given the context, but I do hold reservations about it potentially being a reward for negative behavior.

[Alisae]

I don't think this is rewarding negative behavoir.
This is the ban that eventually lead to allowing users to request self-bans right?
If so, I think this is a good title, so I'll nth it.

[SleepyKrew]

it's rewarding negative behavior

[the worst]

i'd probably rather anti-nom

[Pine]

it's rewarding negative behavior

It would set a really worrying precedent.

[Jingle]

Eh, honestly I don’t have a problem with rewarding civil disobedience. If he actually did request the ban and was turned down it seems like he did due diligence to try to resolve the issue within the rules and then resolved the issue the only way that was still available.

I also don’t really think it sets a bad precedent as the specific behavior it’s rewarding is not possible anymore AND someone looking to emulate the behavior would have to get banned in the first place and then appeal, come back, and still have people care enough about them to want to title them.

OTOH, I don’t really care enough to look up whether he did attempt to achieve his aims through proper channels.

Fence, prepare to be sat on.

[the worst]

I think it's a whole big grey zone which might be better to just avoid
Sala seems like a fun guy - he'll do something else noteworthy which earns a better title than this one imo
