I have, but I'd like to first make it worthwhile by creating some code to process it first (it would automate a lot of little things and make it practical to pagetop and whatnot). For now though, we tolerate the status quo for iust a little longer.In post 1744, Shaziro wrote:Psyche, have you considered setting up a standard format for title noms? Like, a fill-in-the-blanks form? "Name of person being nominated" "Title being nominated for" "Explanation of nomination" "Notable examples that would strengthen this nomination"? Maybe set up a little code block just like for the replacements queue, so people can just copy paste and fill it in?You can't step in the same river twice.-

this has been the best explanation for the lily title nom so farIn post 1328, Natirasha wrote:

Lily=yuri=Japanese lesbian fiction, which plays into both my incessation gayness and weeabooism.
All thanks to fferyllt, who came up with it. But, it's clever and multifaceted which is what I personally love about it.
unfortunately, even here it's admitted that the nomination is rather esoteric
esoteric titles aren't unprecedent; there's Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, for example
but in the example just referenced, esotericism was part of the point of the title
that connection is what's missing here
as much as i like the poetry of the phrase (the alternative nomination sacrifices that poetry without really fixing the issue), it just doesn't fit with the process
i'm officiallyrejectingit now, but hope you can eventually workshop something else that fits better with the institutional frameworkYou can't step in the same river twice.-

the thread has about as many views as CD's youtube thread, and the video itself has even fewer
there's a chance this is an example of what davsto was talking about when he advocated waiting periods
it might not seem as big in the rearview mirror as it does right now, esp considering the reality that many users have created MS-centered art, including a lot for various Scummies ceremonies
i think ideally EP would have a title that while maybe centering this video he put a lot of work into also1)spans other aspects of him salient within the community, one that2)differentiates him from other showmen on site while still not sounding awkward or forced
of course, it's not unprecedented for a title nom to be about some one-off happening, but these do have a risk of being weaker than more comprehensive noms
if i could i'd rather see the thread recognized with some kind of Scummie for GD content; oh well
Anyway, if you insist on this version of the title anyway,wait 5 days and then get me 3 more nths from new people.I'll approve it despite my objections.You can't step in the same river twice.-

i like my titles a little more..."broad in meaning" than that
like maybe we can have one that references to parody but also captures something about his persona here
titles about specific happenings aren't unheard of, but the ones i know and like best at least gesture more broadly anywayYou can't step in the same river twice.-

The most important thing seems to be to make a script that tracks nomination process and regularly posts votecount-like updates in the thread for my and others' benefit. Once I have that, I think I can make a transition to a new thread regime where shitposting is slightly more curtailed.
Later, I'll finally work on that Title Suggestion bot I've always wanted. It'll only suggest a certain kind of title (puns) but it'll hopefully be useful for brainstorming, and the tool can be expanded later anyway. I think in the process (or instead!) I can just write a guide to doing what I'd be programming the bot to do, but who knows.You can't step in the same river twice.-

My memories of it aren't fond either and that'll weigh on things, but on the other hand maybe a lot of people like it. People can go on nomming titles around it, but please don't do it if you don't actually admire the trait you're nthing him over.
I'll probably also increase the nth requirement from 5 depending on how good/bad the final nom is. Honestly don't like either of the ones in play rn.You can't step in the same river twice.-
