Antihero's keymashing is different from other people's because it's actually a schtick for him. It's part of his persona. It was even one of his abilities in a role based off of him.
Ok, at what point does something become a schtick/persona and not just something they do a lot? Can you try to better explain how Pie's title is not unique but Anti's is? Did you even look at Bins' ISO in the game I linked?
I would feel a lot better if I actually understood where and how you're drawing the line because right now it just seems completely arbitrary to me -- and if you're resisting explaining when I say that I have an issue, what else am I supposed to think but that you have a double standard and are annoyed that I'm calling you on it? I don't want things to be arbitrary and subjective along some hidden parameters I don't know or understand, I want titling to be fair and have a predictable quality baseline so we can focus more on the fun parts of it. But right now I am just not getting that vibe which really doesn't bode well for a brand new title fairy. It just looks like lackadaisical whim to me right now.
The bit about Singer and Mina and all that is mostly separate but I brought it up because it's part of my problem with titling at large -- and what better time to address that than when a new title fairy has arrived and isn't set in their titling ways yet? I wish we as a community prioritized making titles for people who've done things that make the community better (game modding, queue or forum modding, active in GD/SE/MD, hosting meets or skype mafia or other things outside of the site, wiki upkeep, replacing in to games). I would like to see it used as a way to reward people who make positive contributions more than people who merely exist within it and I would like to see titles as a way to encourage people to make more of those contributions. Maybe you could still get a title for keyboard flailing, but a surer path to getting a title could be to be that person that helps organize LoL games every week or that person who makes those really thought-provoking posts in MD or something. And I would like to see us brainstorm until we find a good title for those people even if it takes a while rather than relying on someone coming up with a sudden stroke of inspiration on a random user and then we tweak it until it is acceptable. I guess scummies somewhat fill that kind of function I'm thinking of but in a temporary (one year) way.

Anyway.
If profanity is part of the allure for the Tammy title, why not
Effing Sweetheart
?
Sassy Sweetheart
is good too, and I like the alliteration.
When I think of singer's presence on the site, I think of her work with the newbie queue, and also the way she never seems shy about her emotions. Singer pours her heart out onto the site on a regular basis whether those feelings are happy or sad or angry or anything in between. She makes the site feel more human. I also, admittedly, think of her drunkposting in and out of the actual drunkposting thread. Scummer of Love people would need to come in to brainstorm titles for that meet but
here's where the old discussion for that starts AFAIK. I'm not really witty enough to come up with titles but I would nth anything that expressed all or some of those things or stuff from Scummer of Love. A reference to wearing her heart on her sleeve, maybe?
Past Mina title noms from the last thread include (small) Mafia Scum, (large) Mafia Scum, Firebug, Evil Laugh, Trojan Butterfly, and stuff about Waffles and waffling. I don't actually know Mina very well so I can't really comment on her personality past that but hopefully that's enough to kickstart some ideas for her with people who know her better than I do.
There are others who don't have titles that I think should but those are two big ones where I think it's just a ~COSMIC WRONG~ that they don't already have one.
