I don't think it's the same when the recipient is adding to a discussion already underway about their potential title.

I like Spamwow.

When I did it I got shunned for it.

Eh, I just would rather have the reference to my amount of posting in games too since this way people I play with who don't visit Site Ideas can have a laugh at it while I secretly laugh at them for not knowing the real meaning.

I think this is getting far too close to you choosing your own title.

[Om of the Nom]

Then suggest better things >_>

[Mr. Flay]

I think this is getting far too close to you choosing your own title.

There's a large difference between someone coming in here and nomming himself for a title and someone who gets nommed then in spirit of those noms suggest a title that he might enjoy that could be fun.

And since you know the rules:

I think this is getting far too close to you choosing your own title.

Nothing wrong with that in this case. There's a big difference in someone just coming in here and asking to get a title and someone who has done something notable, gets nominated for a title because of that, and in spirit of that title tries to discuss a title that he might enjoy more or thinks is better.

A title is designed to be an informal representation of a user's personality and individuality. It is also a badge of honour that the title-holder has become an individual within the community, valued by his or her peers.

Om is valued by us, check!

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.

And that's exactly what he did. People were looking for a fun spamremoving related title, and om stepped in to discuss.

can we get some rulings oman

[Kublai Khan]

So Om "solves" a problem of spammers not posting spam and he gets a title? Okay...

Let's just reward anyone bored enough to spend an hour or two combing through usernames, then.

And posts lot (or spams) in games.

It's like a tautological reference.

Either one alone would make the title meh, but he's both. An ouroborus.

You realise I posted probably about 60-70 spambots (maybe more) and that was only up to the end of D in the memberlist.

We are at the point where we just don't care anymore.

Besides, spamwow is actually a humorous title, its not entirely hideous.

I think you should be more glad that he attempted to help the site instead of just trashing the site. At least he cares enough to try. Hes an alright guy too. Even if he does have his moment.

Pretty much what I'm saying here is

I know your response will be along the lines of "so anybody who doesn't be a retard should just get a title for not being a retard?"

Doesn't mean it's right.

[Oman]

can we get some rulings oman

I'll think on this one, but I'm reading the discussions before I jump in and stifle it by saying "THIS IS/N'T HAPPENING!"

[Om of the Nom]

Well 12 people have essentially agreed already...

[Oman]

Well 12 people have essentially agreed already...

I notice people only have this train of thought when it's their title.

Obviously you're keen to get it, but breathe deep.

[Ythan]

Not an idiotic stretch, rewards something useful nobody else has done before. Doesn't sound retarded.

[UberNinja]

Why is "THIS IS/N'T HAPPENING!" your default choice? If enough people like something...

True. But his job is to

give out

titles that are appropriately well liked, not to be some tight-ass Roger Ebert kind of fellow that only deigns to enjoy the "cream of the crop" and bashes everything else. Not saying that's what Oman does, per se, but that's what his last post seemed like.

thats actually exactly what he is supposed to do
