Abuse of Power. No, seriously.

Don't even ****ing ACT like people didn't voice their opinions; you're just deciding this by fiat, and a blanket statement at that. A simple "usually" would fix your rule with minimum fuss.

Thank you for considering (and implementing) the change. I do think most pun/avi titles are dumb, but occasionally they shine. Like someone else said upthread, usually because they have some other element that makes them better than a straight pun, which is why your wording looked to me like a "no matter how good the title is, the presence of a pun will invalidate it". I'm glad your internal view was more nuanced than that.

Cheers.
