. I mostly agree with Davsto and Psyche on this issue. Accountant's outlook on the world is certainly notable, but it's not something to commemorate. Frankly, I think he's caused a lot people needless agony due to his uncompromising nature. I can't think of a time where it was a joy rather than a point of stress.

Fuck literally everything about that.

I don't say that because I personally like the title, I say this as a former title fairy, fuck that rational so very fucking hard. You don't fucking get to play favourites, I don't care if you think Accountant is the biggest piece of shit since Genghis Khan decided to take the mongols on a road trip. It's notable, it's got lasting appeal and it's so very very strongly resonates with him. Get the fuck off your high horse you unbelievable arrogant piece of shit, we don't bother doing the job to get to decide who's beliefs are "worthy" of a title or who's posting we like enough to reward.

Is it a good title yes or no? The second start adding anything else to the decision process then its time to hang up your hat and give the role to some new blood because you've stopped doing it as a service to the site and started doing it to stroke your own ego.

Anti-Nom.
The only reason I keep the current one is because I like being different.

what makes you think accountant dislike it, that i didnt already ask him if hed accept it or that he doesnt like being different (have you read his posts)?

correct

the title fairys job is not to judge whos views are acceptable or worth rewarding

thats hubris of an extent that needs to be squashed

my title is literally calling me a hard ass and thats fine because its part of who i am on ms

accountant is a believer, he is assured in the rightouness of his cause and will strive forward no matter how many people nay-say him, what barriers are placed in his way or how popular it makes him

he is crusading for what believes is right, it is and will always be a part of who he is on ms

look at ani's title, mykos title or my title for three examples off the top of my head, it's part of who we are, we own it and accountant owns his he isnt going to bend or change who he is for our approval

I present to you Chevre's post.

He is categorically not doing that Davsto, if he in fact had said that I'd have kept my mouth shut. Instead he explicitly targets Accountant's views, don't white wash it.

Yes.

they really are a new thing and im really opposed to the idea

if its a bad title explain why or propose an alternative

if you wont say why you dont like it or suggest how we can improve it then what exactly is the purpose of your feedback other then meaningless noise

maybe when he gets unbanned

purely devils advocate here, i dont know enough of panzer to comment on how good or bad of a title it is

will the title fit panzer any better or worse if hes here posting with it or not for the next several months

given your familiarity with panzer would you vote for the title if he wasn't going to be banned

if you think its a good title then why wait a couple months to give it the outcome is the exact same we can to reform people not as blind punishment

Because he's not the first person to be banned basically on rotation and he's not the only user who is/has been heavy into shock value, if we're going to call it.

Panzer's posting is nothing new and rewarding a user for being banned consistently is the worst idea possible.
i agree with this. the title is very clever but i doubt it fits with the spirit of what this thread appears to be for.

i think the stance of titles as a reward is a very slippery slope to go down

also this is panzers first mafia/siteban no?

dont get me wrong what he did is was a complete dickmove and im in no way endorsing his actions but at the same time we arent here as mods deciding what punishment will best deter recidivism we are here to decide if the title fits him

so does it?
