vonflare asked me to chime in, and I wanted to propose an idea: doing this for only untitled users seems a little unfair to people who already have titles -- what if an extra info field was added to user profiles with a list of their scummies? That way, nobody would be left out, and users with multiple awards would have them all represented.

As for the original proposal, I think it's a nice idea even if it might be kind of weird seeing as nobody really knows me for modding games anymore. I guess it's just a neat nod to people's pasts.

The Title Fairy's role has always been to veto titles that aren't up to snuff, and in that regard automatically tallying the noms/nths for a title doesn't really change anything. All it really does is make it easier / more objective for the Title Fairy to see what level of support or opposition a title has in the thread, which is something they would need to ascertain anyway. It doesn't preclude their role in vetoing bad titles.

I guess the concern would be that the Title Fairy would lean too heavily on the votes when deciding titles to the point of okaying a title that goes against their judgment if it has overwhelming support. That may be so, but I don't see how that counts as an argument against the vote count mechanism itself.
