Dance of the Title Fairy: ORCA's Greatest Hits

?

[Kublai Khan]

So titles in discussion that aren't shit:

Was there anything that came of the Singer discussion that wasn't wholly meet related?

No love for the saulres title?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

There was the DDD title.

[Ythan]

LUC!LLE

?

Are you joking?

[UberNinja]

I move for new legislature which stipulates that only people with custom titles can post in the custom titles thread (unless [insert caveat here such as verification of certain events, etc]).

3/4 of the threadshitting problem = solved. And Oman might actually come around more often and do the shit he's supposed to without having to worry about deleting shit.

My 2 cents. Now I'm outta here.

Bye quadz.

[animorpherv1]

Sorry for the doublepost, but the alternative is Oman/Flay/etc. to ban people from Site Ideas.

Are you serious? I could understand it if you wanted to limit suggestions to a certain amount of time on-site, but hell, what you're suggesting would just kill the thread. Plus, there are plenty of reasonable, sensible, and even venerable people who don't have custom titles.

I agree with Izak

just stop pls

[Ythan]

Now wait a second let's hear the guy out.

[Mina]

...That would mean no one could weigh in on their own custom title.

[Ythan]

Someone without a title doesn't understand what makes a good title.

[Feirei]

I agree with the above. That's a bad idea.

P-Edit: The one who posted said suggestion doesn't have a custom title himself.

[Nexus]

Woosh

[UberNinja]

First off, this suggestion was in response to Oman's posts:

Any user can recommend a title for a qualified user.

It is a simple request that extraneous titles are not suggested on a whim, as these clutter the thread.

To recommend oneself for a title is bad form, it is a gift from the peers, not something to bestow on oneself. However, users are encouraged to become involved in discussion of their own title within the thread.

Abuse of the ability to suggest titles, by suggesting insulting, or otherwise frivolous titles will result in that user's privilege being removed.

The Title Fairy Thread is for title discussion. Its fixture in Site Ideas, as opposed to General Discussion should indicate the administrators' view on how it should be used.

While some light-hearted discussion is okay, a good rule of thumb is that title discussion should be the primary focus. Title Fairy reserves the right to delete posts, or split them to General Discussion as required.

I'm sick of the "GreyICE says faggot a lot" jokes. I don't like it, I think it's a terrible thing to put in a title, and it actually got close to me shutting down all GreyICE titles for being a shitposter. Please, keep it out of the thread, I'm sick of deleting posts, I'm sick of reports.

There's a fine line between bickering and constructive title discussion, guys. Keep your focus.

That would fall under this I guess:

(unless [insert caveat here such as verification of certain events, etc]).

a) this doesn't have anything to do with anything, especially because I'm including myself
b) duh, that's why I said "I'm outta here", stupid

I agree that it's a little steep, but I'm mostly speaking about shit like

this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this... etc, etc, etc...

...not the few good posts that people make in the thread who don't have titles already.

Obviously it could be "people w/o titles or who have not been on the site at least X years or since X date, etc" instead.

--

Also, I think it's the habit of some people to hang around this thread specifically because they want a title. I know that thought has crossed my mind before, and though I now think it's a stupid idea, it did appeal to me at the time.

--

If the powers that be disagree with this idea, fine. I just think it'd make Oman's life a little easier, and the thread a little more on-topic for everyone else. It's clearly a suggestion with room for improvement, so instead of saying "no that idea sux lolol" or "u dont even have a title, gg" why not try realizing that the idea actually has a little bit of thought behind it and could probably make the place a little better if implemented with a few adjustments.

Now, I'm outta here.

[Feirei]

I only post here if I have something to say other than random bullshit, and even then, that's a rarity in some threads.

[IceGuy]

Nominate UberNinja for

No Title For You

[esuriospiritus]

UN, there is not a problem here for your solution. This thread would be boring as hell without the occasional joke title nom and etc.

[izakthegoomba]

this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this... etc, etc, etc...

I might be more inclined to agree with you if there was something wrong with the majority of those...

[Oman]

I'm obviously not taking Uberninja's idea into account because he doesn't have a custom title.

I joke, I joke.

I'll post more on it (and the titles) later, but I've no intention of restricting the amount of people that can post here except in extre circumstances (I.e. the reapercharlie affair). Even when I do, that limitation will not be proactive, that is I will extend my hand to anyone in the community, and the onus is on the member to not take advantage of that.

[Nobody Special]

Someone without a title doesn't understand what makes a good title.

I think I am

finally

learning to tell when you're joking.

[SleepyKrew]

That was serious.

[Umbrage]

That was serious.
