Allowing players to request their own titles does provide more titles (thank you), but not holding those requests to a standard of acceptability does not provide better titles.

The old way was a bit too much "good old boys" club.
I'm on board with players being allowed to ask for a title, I just think there should be standards applied to those requests.
Approving titles simply because they do not break site rules allow for titles such as "I am garbage", and while that title may technically be acceptable according to site rules, it's not exactly healthy. It promotes a negative self-image and an expectation of unworthiness. Not to mention it's just bad for site morale. Regardless of how the member may feel about themselves, they should not have a negative image validated with a title.“Trust is an orchid, beautiful but delicate, requiring ideal conditions in order to thrive. Without them, it dies.” - Dahrk (Arrow, Season 4)

A title shouldn't require personal knowledge of the member to be taken in context if the natural assumption is a negative one.In post 127, vonflare wrote:

Everybody on the site doesn't know every single other person. Inside jokes are one thing, but when the uninitiated see negativity and don't understand the context behind it, it will leave them with a negative impression for the site itself.“Trust is an orchid, beautiful but delicate, requiring ideal conditions in order to thrive.

McMenno's name has seven letters.
mastina's name has seven letters.
Therefore, McMenno is... mastina?“Trust is an orchid, beautiful but delicate, requiring ideal conditions in order to thrive. Without them, it dies.” - Dahrk (Arrow, Season 4)
