Okay let's start with the rulings, for all those people that just want answers:
Om of the Nom: SpamWow!No.Gold StarI like it, user rejected
Killerjester: Target PracticeI like this. I do want to hear more on it though.
Kdowns: Goddamnit, KdownsI don'tlikethe doubleup of the name, but I don't think its a dealbreaker. I like the title idea a lot. If Kdowns approved/denied, I missed it. Mate?
KublaiKhan: Lord of the (Golden) HoardMuch better than what he's carrying now. Not as much discussion on it as there needs to be. The "whore" variants are just terrible.
Pidgey: Angry BirdsI reeeeeally like this. This is a good, snippy, concise, pop-cultury title that I love.
UN's bunch of suggestionsNothing really memorable in any of them. Appreciate the effort though.
Izakthegoomba: Mish Mash titlesI like Mishion Imashable enough. Again, need more on this one across the board.
So there have been a few things here about people contributing to discussion about their own titles. The fact is that I wholly support people getting involved, but there is an indistinct line between discussing and campaigning, and Om definitely stepped over that line. I don't want to talk too much on his specific case (I'll get to that later), but I do want it to be very clear that users discussing their titles are definitely welcome and should not be seen to have a negative impact on the process. I think the difference is between being part of the process, and being the process. Remember that Titles are still a "gift" bestowed by the community. Getting to pick your own title shouldn't be the goal, because then people are just letting you play with your toys, not actually showing what you mean to them. Getting your own title is just saying what YOU mean to the community, which is...well it's pretty lame.
In Om's case...well zoraster really nailed it for me: "Right. he rejected it. he just has to understand that the choice he had was Gold Star or Mafia Scum, not Gold Star or something else." Om doesn't really understand that if a title is the community saying "Nice work, bro, here is how we see you", he is saying "No, that's not how you see me. You all see me like this, don't you?! DON'T YOU!?!" The best example is the "potato" comment where everyone else said "You are literally the only person that refers to you as a potato."
Kdowns and the name issue. Well, like I said, I don't enjoy the doubleup of the name, but fuck it, it's part of the joke. I like it. In terms of Flay's hesitation: "Which is not an absolute bar to a title obviously, but gives me extra pause when the shtick is being mostly propagated by people other than the proposed recipient." Actually, having people OTHER than the recipient propagate it makes it even better for me. It's a community joke, it's the people saying "this is funny, you are fun". If it was Kdown's walkaround joke I think it would be a lot more tired.
Older titles. Yes I understand the idea of precedence, but the title fairy policy wasn't designed to be all inclusive or as a ruleset. It's much more about guidance for how we press forward. Titles are a self-moderating thing, because they're about the community. If the community wants titles to be X, then they should gradually move towards X. The big takeaway is that the rules aren't designed to stifle titles, but to guide them (Which were drawn from our community discussions).
Overall, there has been a lot of good discussion lately. The latest cleanup didn't delete NEARLY as many as I used to.It's unfortunate that good oral sex excuses bad chemistry. - Korts- izakthegoomba

I don't like the "LOL MISH MASH" titles for me, but Mishion InMashable is one of the better ones. I'd still rather wait for something more memorable/specific, though.(Mostly) on hiatus until further notice. Planet MafiaScum 2 will be modded by Inspi and JDGA - go check it out!- Xalxe

Can't tell if its an inside joke or a play on words but I don't see anything with the words so I'm guessing its an inside joke.Although the border between madness and genius is very narrow.

I believe it would be a play on words. (well lyrics)
I don't feel the bit kcdaspot just added to it (although it did possibly identify for me where it was coming from) fits with the tune, which makes it not that good a title.Holder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

splish splash sounds like it has more syllables than mish mash.
the izak taking a bath part does fit fine though.
