Once I think I've gathered a general idea on what people want, and which direction I intend to go, I'll be talking to mith about implementing them, so please treat this with a degree of seriousness.
To facilitate discussion I have a few questions:
1. What do you think titles should be? Should they be an expression of each user's individuality? A reward for long standing Scummers who have been active in the community? An entitlement after x years/posts/games?
2. What do you think the Title Fairy should be? A passive administrator to update the first page only? A moderator to ensure a sense of order in thread and titles? A way to make sure crap titles don't get through by his own judgment as an appointed official?
3. What limits/restrictions need to be placed on title recipients? 100 posts is still okay? 1 completed game? 1 year on site? No requirements?
4. What limits/restrictions need to be placed on title suggesters? One suggestion/week? No limit? Bannings from Title Fairy on repeated insulting titles?
5. Should titles be on for the life of the account? Expand on what you feel to appropriate length of time before someone's title would be changed.
6. Should titles be suggest by the community and then "accepted" by the person-in-question (for want of a better term), or should they be thrust upon them regardless of their thoughts on it? Of course, this links with "title fairy moderation of titles" as above.
7. What do you see the Title Fairy Thread as? A spam thread? Srs Title Business? A place where you can post whatever without fear of moderation/incurring wrath?
8. What should a title be given
9. Where do you want it? Site Ideas, Mafia Discussion, GD?
10. Round it out with anything else you have to add.
