So what I'd suggest as a default pattern for brainstorming potential titles for a user is:

1. Users start by forming an initial list of notable factors that might form the basis for a title.
2. Discussion from there further develops this list and maybe also prune out elements that aren't so notable or applicable.
3. At the same time, users identify potential words/concepts that might help concisely summarize some core factors from this list
4. Eventually, at least one good potential nomination is workshopped and the conversation moves to the main thread for confirmation

The idea is that we start by collecting all the usual elements of a good case for a title and sort of generate/deduce from there. From there, users can contribute to brainstorming titles even when they don't know the subject of the title that well!

This would be a good point where I write up an example applicable to someone here but honestly I don't know any of you untitled very distinctly! But below is an example of how even a bot ChatGPT that knows all of us even less can brainstorm titles from an example nom and a small list of user factors. So even if community members draw a blank once we've summed up a user, a good title nom could still be possible.

Spoiler: prompt
An internet forum I visit sometimes grants titles to users based on things they've done and aspects of their personality or reputation. The titles often contain wordplay or jokes.

For a title to be accepted, a user must be nominated by another community member. For example, below is a nomination for a username named "implosion" for the title "polymath":

Nominate implosion for Polymath

1. Notably, he was the arguable MVP in the recent Clash of the Mash and a key component in Red's win (likely every CoTM participant will agree with me to some extent). He got to showcase his outstanding puzzle solving, deduction, strategy, and trivia competency and performed highly in almost every cerebral challenge.

2. The last part of the title plays into his field of study (mathematics) which he has integrated into his site persona. This is by way of making and participating in the second Math and Logic Mishmash thread, discussing math with other sitechatters of present and past (Who and Ellibereth come most immediately to mind) and in numerous very well received MD contributions involving EV calculations or theory.

3. implosion is going back to grad school to once again study math and made the grad school discussion thread in SE. The word polymath evokes an image of someone with a vested interest in academic learning and with knowledge of a wide range of intellectual pursuits and is a good-looking and elegant title.

Can you write up a nomination for a user named "Harold" who is known for making a lot of short posts with little content and singing very well?


Spoiler: ai response
Nominate Harold for "Songbird"

Harold is known for his love of singing, which he often showcases on the forum by sharing videos of his performances or posting lyrics to his favorite songs. His singing ability has earned him a reputation as a talented vocalist, and his fellow community members often express their admiration for his voice.

In addition to his love of singing, Harold is also known for his short, to-the-point posts, which often contain little content but are still well-received by the community. This aspect of his personality is reflected in the second part of the proposed title, "Songbird," which evokes the image of a bird singing a brief but beautiful melody.

Overall, the proposed title of "Songbird" captures both Harold's talent for singing and his penchant for making short, snappy posts. It is a fitting and well-deserved title that would be well-received by the community.
