The only issue is that there have been backup listmods in the past. Has Singersigner done a much better job of backup listmodding (or have to do it more often) than others? From your post it seems that way, so in that case it would be more than simply "list mod gets title for being list mod".
I don't recall that position existing before it was it was given to Singer in 2015.
I believe this is correct.

If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

I keep thinking about pyramids, but I can't make a title from it. Not yet.
The mermaid symbolism is also germaine. A siren call.
And I think that if we find a title that encompasses more of singersigner's personality and contribution, then it should replace a more narrow one unless they don't want it to. But I don't think SleepyKrew's entire personality and contribution to the site is "that time he was a Title Fairy and did his job". But that's a good title nonetheless.
That’s actually exactly what I think of when it comes to sleepykrew

I have yet to hear an explanation on title that goes deeper.
They have a special role in the forum and I don't see why it shouldn't be congratulated! They put a lot of work into the forum to keep it going, and are always there to do what is needed.
It is arguable, if you take this stance, that there is no reason for Zor to have Consigliere, as iirc the reason was "Lol look at Mith's title of Godfather for being the Forum Godfather! Let's give Zor one to match because of his position!"
Zor title has more layers than just his position, like the fact he is a lawyer
What more does universal backup say besides singer fills in for mods? Singer is known by much more than that so it sounds like just giving a title based on position which if we award why don’t we give other list mods titles based on their jobs?
Probably because they are known in community as something besides their job.

My problem with it is that when I think of Singer, I don't think of her as a list mod at all. I'm sure she's done a lot on that side, and it's awesome, but I think she's much more known for things outside of that realm; which I'm pretty sure someone already said, so this post is just a retread. Title still sucks.
This might be a ridiculously old reference, but in Team Mafia 2015 singer singlehandedly flipped the momentum around of the biggest/most important game by shooting scum after town had basically completely run itself into the ground, shifting momentum back around enough to completely roll the rest of the team. Was one of the most important moments of all of the games (if not the most important).
Have always had a very high opinion of her towngame since then (was terrified to roll scum against her).
Was thinking with that in tandem with singer's generally positive attitude and her willingness to take on a variety of big responsibilities as a back-up listmod maybe
"Best Shot"
as in "giving it your best shot" might be an alright concept?
i like Best Shot, but in that sense is sounds more like trying one's hardest and not necessarily succeeding.
i do like the theme of reliability/backup that both of the suggested titles have displayed. the concept is good, the wording might need work.
not that i have a better suggestion.
"Sibling," Farkran asked, starting slowly.
"The CORE is full of lasers, and Chemist1422's entire existence depends on her eye. If she looks into a laser, she will almost certainly die. Did you think about that?"
"Oh yes, my brother. I love thinking about that."
Haven't ever really heard that connotation with the phrase.
Have always associated it more with trying your hardest regardless of what the result will be, which I've associated with optimism/a willingness to try, rather than necessarily being unqualified/failing in general.
could work. she's typically very enthusiastic about helping out/confident she'll do well at [thing she is doing] (no matter the task), so it can work as both a willingness to do backup listmod duties
and
subtly references Team Mafia '15 (she did replace in before thrashing the scumteam, yeah? sorry, been a while). she's definitely the type to step up and take charge when the situation calls for it if she has the ability to do so.
it's not exceptionally clever or witty but
