I'm not even going to wait 48 hours on this one; I think the change from Kayak to Kayak is a completely necessary amendment. Kayak is truly the embodiment of Cheery Dog, whilst Kayak has problems and is dangerously close to the much more inferior canoe that we all strive to avoid. As we enter into this new era for titles, we should strive to aim for more Kayaks and less Kayaks.
Approved
and already changed. There's no reason to dilly-dally on this one.
I mean, I agree that's it's a dumb change and should go back to Kayak, but I'm not going to stress the new Title Fairy about it.

My name isn't actually Khan....
No it would be like making my title Shotty Dude, it's dumb and based off your username, even worse than your actual name. I'm not blaming you for your awful title, but come on if it is precedent then Shea shouldn't even be being debated.
But..
If the benchmark for title quality is "Is it better than Khan Man?" then a lot of shitty titles are going to still pass that test.

In post 699, Chevre wrote:Nominee: Flameaxe
Title: This 7
Fairy Opinion: We had a nice discussion about this title and Flameaxe's current title in the SUPP Discord chat. Ether was there to discuss the old one, "Comma Police"; it's from a post restriction in a marathon game. On the other hand, BPC and Shadoweh (and Reck in thread) have explained "This 7" and how it pertained to SurvivorMeet.
I mean, I had no idea how "Comma Police" was relevant to Flameaxe. And I know we're in the moment of SurvivorMeet, so who knows how quickly this will fade, but I think it is most certainly more fitting than the current title. I also like that "This 7" seems sort of clunky when an outsider looks at it, but it's really easily explained. I'm accepting This 7.
As someone who mods this board, and has met Flameaxe in person, I have no idea what "Comma Police" or "This 7" refer to.

They have a total 18 posts.
I really thought that this account didn't even exist.
I am impressed, it actually does in fact exist.

Nominate Zulfy ->
was robbed
I'm not super sure where it originated or what it was about, but "Zulfy was robbed" is a common site meme at this point. I could easily link a half-dozen posts, but I'm lazy.
Oh thanks. I have no idea what it's like to have a thankless job where people constantly criticize you based on guessed information.
How about when you get criticized for known information, like that time you said shotty should get hit by a bus? You Def should have been stripped of mod and discussion banned for that, ftr. And that's not the first time you've said something that isn't only out of line for a moderator but completely out of line for any poster of MS.
Yeah, I'll admit to being too much of a rude crude dude, but that comment was totally blown out of proportion. In the midst of the repeated "BUSSED SO HARD" rejections, it was meant as a joke that Shotty would need to be hit by a literal bus for the title to stick. I have already apologized privately to Shotty and publicly in thread for the misunderstanding.
You're at best the second worst mod and basically are an all around rude dude that should have been stripped of mod years ago. And now that we just got 2 new discussion mods, I really don't see any reason that you're still on the staff.

I don't think it was blown out of proportion. I think saying "I was misunderstood" is a piss poor way to explain something that was pretty cut and dry. It must be nice to be able to apologize when people get offended by something you say and it gets all made better. Wish the rest of us had that option.
Um, okay. I'm sorry that you're rejecting my apology and are insisting on seeing things in the worst light. Your mind sounds pretty made up so there's nothing I can do to change it.
Though it's worth mentioning that you're always welcome to apologize. I don't think you ever attempted to do that.

Man, I remember when I used to regularly check the Title Fairy thread to see what too title had been proposed. Lately it seems like it's the same people just working really hard to keep the thread "alive" with really inane posts.
The TF threads are always best the they are allowed to go fallow for awhile. Let it get necro'd by a great idea. Because this thread has been creatively tapped out for a while and people are just throwing shit suggestions at the wall in hopes that something may stick.

Nominate
locking the Title Fairy thread for 4 months. There hasn't been an approved title in 3 months and almost 30 pages. It's a cesspool of shitposting. This thread need to be fallow for good creativity to return. Please consider it Chevre. Be a hero.

In post 1772, xofelf wrote:Eh, 4 months is a really long time. While I do not disagree that there's been a lot of shitposting and shitnoms in the last 3 months, that's always seemed to happen? I think the thread used to be left alone more often because there was a much different atmosphere before, but I can't think of a fairy thread that didn't have periods of shitposting in it except maybe the first? Can you? I don't think really think that having the thread closed for a time is going to solve that problem entirely. Especially since temporary forum bans haven't even really done that other than have the specific posters out for a while. However once there aren't any active noms, if, as the mod of this particular forum, Chev decides to temporarily close the thread for an unspecified period of time in the hopes that better noms can be more common than what is now, that's his choice and I support him in his right to do so.
4 months was an arbitrary number. If that's the first complaint, then ultimately you know I'm right and you're quibbling over details.
And yes, all title fairy threads have had shitposting. God knows I've made my fair share of joke noms and cheeky suggestions. But this thread has been painfully bad for a long time and it doesn't appear that it's going to stop on it's own. Many individual people have tried making a general point of inactivity fosters creativity, but the shitposters just don't get it. It's like they post to entertain themselves instead of sharing something interesting to others.
This thread is like watching someone who is sleep deprived and hopped up on caffeine trying to be creative. "uh..
aligned
! Because they sometimes write town-aligned! Yeah!" <-- An actual serious nomination.
The current ConManMick title nomination is already bad. It's not new. It's not clever. It's not particularly celebratory or flattering or notable. It's a "hey guys, remember this joke I said a while back, let me re-tell it in case I get more laughs now because we gotta keep yapping" level of meh. Who cares?

You seem to still act like you have authority - this is hardly the first time I've seen you post in a thread as if you were a mod dictating how things should run despite having quit.

You're new here. I've always been super bossy and sarcastic. Ask anyone. When I became a mod, I got less bossy because I was a "face of the website".
I'm a free citizen again. If I want to tell someone that their posts are bad, then I'll tell them. It's on you to adjust your impression of me.
I know drinking titles have been shot down before (e.g. singer) for not being unique but CMM has the third most posts in drunkposting if you don't count flaked or removed users (sapo, esurio, Axxle - the two above being UT and Majiffy) in the last year and a half. For a 5+ year thread, that's impressive.
Hell, I've barely interacted with the guy and the first thing to come to mind is "that user that's always in drunkposting".
