titles are about celebrating the community, it's ok that for someone to not want to be a part of the community anymore, but I don't think it makes any sense at all to refer to a process someone took trying to forcibly leave the community in a title."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"-

i don't have access to speakeasy posts, but i would give it an nth if Salamence's return (and the a spamming) was a positive thing for both Salamence and the community. no nth as i can't verify it myself, just my two cents."Sibling," Farkran asked, starting slowly.

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.
good points in good postsIn post 1698, Jingle wrote: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.
The problem with 'ahhh, sala will do something noteworthy and get another title eventually' is that it will be compared with 'a', which is probably the most noteworthy thing in salamance's present and future mafiascum career considering its impact on site rules/his presence/etc..... so yeah no title will be better for him than 'a'
There is a case for it 'rewarding negative behavior' I guess, but like the above posts indicate it is a unique case that skirts the line with actual 'negative behavior' in the same way that, like, participating in protests is 'negative behavior'.
basically, it's a good title, and even if you want to classify his a-spam as 'negative behavior', this is less of a reward for it and more of a reference to an important event caused by his actions.THIS 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 spamming really wasn’t positive and I think people are forgetting why he requested the self-ban in the first place. His self-ban request was related to the Metal Sonic ban which coincided and was similar to the Nobody Special ban. I don’t think any titles should be made based on anything related to one of the site’s darkest points in history.-

They're not fun times to talk about.
I can PM you a tl;dr "wikipedia summary" if you want"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."

that's the correct way to submit a nom but it kinda just seems like a username pun (which are boycotted) - is there any other reasoning behind it?-

While I echo this sentiment, and think that pops is worthy of a title and can maybe kinda sorta possibly vaguely see why it's applicable to pops…In post 1713, the worst wrote:mmm there's something in this
…I'm going to take a considerable amount of convincing, here.
I have extreme trouble connecting clearly the title nominated to pops, AND, it feels super-generic and not specific to pops.
Can someone help me see it more clearly?-

I'm basically in the same boat but pops' silver tongue is quite striking, imo. I'm gonna take some time to think about it and see if I can passionately case it (or an adjacent title)-

This. Like, pops is convincing, sure, but that's like, the least special thing about her. Her work with opens, her friendliness, her self deprecating style... All of those are things that scream pops more than her ability to be convincing imo.In post 1717, mastina wrote:I have extreme trouble connecting clearly the title nominated to pops, AND, it feels super-generic and not specific to pops.This is a Parachute.-

Silver tongue lends well to her eloquence too - she explains things well and afaict pretty regularly knows what to say. But yeah it's hard encaspulating pops in a couple of words.-

"I changed my mind and think it fits pops" isn't a convincing enough argument to make me change my mind.In post 1721, Pine wrote:I initially didn’t like it, but the more I think about it, it fits Pops.
The question isn't if it fits pops--it's more is it something clearly connected to pops, AND, something not super-generic that is instead specific TO pops. Even if you think it passes one of those metrics (and it is currently my opinion it fails on both), it needs to pass both and I don't see it.-

Can we adjust the grammar on it though?
