I could not have said these two better.shaft.ed wrote:1. Titles should partially be a way of informally cataloging something interesting that happened to or because of a member of the site. And partially as a badge of honor that the recipient is somehow a significant member of the community.
2. The Title Fairy is "a way to make sure crap titles don't get through by his own judgment as an appointed official."
3. Between 1 and 3 games on site seems fine with me.
4. TF should be free to ignore any and all 'insulting' titles from people who continually suggest them. They should also have editing powers on the thread to reduce spam. Any problems above and beyond that probably needs mith's interference.
5. They can be removed anytime the recipient requests, and can change as needed, but probably not more than twice a year. If it has to change more often than that, it probably wasn't a very good title to begin with.
6. Recipients should have carte blanche to refuse titles, no reasoning necessary. Anyone badgering people to accept them should see #4.
7. I currently treat the Title Fairy thread as I would any thread in the GD. So I think joking around in it is acceptable as long as it doesn't get offensive. That can and should be changed if the Title Fairy so desires it to be.
8. I vastly prefer titles that have to do with behavior on the site; scumchat/IRC behavior deserves to be recognized there, not here. Name-based or avatar-based titles have to be exceptionally clever to make me approve of them.
9. Not picky, but not MD. News? Site Ideas seems fine.
