Not really interested in arguing the semantics but I will point out that I do think the elaborated takes are more helpful

Edit: I would like to point out that this post and the post directly above it were related to a specific title (Recommended for You possibly applying well to various different scummers) and that they probably could have been left in the other thread as a result, but I also didn't realize this was a thread and I'm grateful to have it in my ego now. Thanks, mastina!

^+1

"This is an event/characteristic that could maybe maybe make a good title" is a better starting point than "Man, person has been around forever and still doesn't have a title" imo.

I also feel like the latter implies that not having a title is somehow bad, which I disagree with.

I could get behind having a thread similar to gtkas ins where you can express interest in getting a title.

I also think there is value in the ms culture of titles coming primarily from other users though.

My two cents is that if someone approached me personally with something along the lines of “ I want a title” I’d just ignore them.

If you’re looking for a relatively low effort event, mastina, you could do something like a popcorn title thread. Suggest a title for the previous poster or something.

Yes. You are always able to decline a title/ask for your title to be removed.

In post 300, mastina wrote:when to run it, for how long, how permanent the titles would be
Just my 2 cents, but I think the model of month long events with only the most widely accepted of the titles that emerged sticking around after the end of the event was a pretty good sweet spot of not too short but also not so long that it lost it's appeal and became boring.
