So, a slight change to the rules.

In addition to Approval/Disapproval after a potential title's gotten support from 5 users, I'll also reserve the option to put the title in "Limbo", where I require titles I'm ambivalent or concerned about to jump a higher hurdle that's specified according to the situation (maybe extra nths, a waiting period, more evidence, etc).

Since I'll be leaning on this more than rejections from now on, this should practically give the community more agency over which titles finally get accepted, and which don't. At the same time, though, it'll increase the range of official reactions I can make to title nominations beyond a simple binary yes/no call. Less pressure on me, more power for you.

One clear use case for this might be event-based titles that are proposed very soon after the event in question. Sometimes something that happens on the site looks really big and interesting only because it just happened; when it comes to titles based on these events, a period in limbo might confirm that the title has lasting merit and will maintain broad appeal in the community for months and years to come.

Beyond that, I've officially begun working on a tool or two to help users come up with titles when they have a potential reference to make within the title in mind. No definite timetable on that, though.

Oh, and I'll probably get rid of the 48 hour thing, I guess.

I'm afraid of change
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

(honestly though psyche you did a great job with this change - you took my very small and half-baked idea with many ideas of your own and made it into a much more expansive and good change in policy - you're doing a great job)

My favourite part was when he avoided saying hi to you by explaining how he didn't have time to say hi to you and why! XD
