Well yes, but I could give you a tirle for being British.

You could if you thought my Britishness was worthy of a title. Your point?

Since I apparently missed this, you're not the only British Scummer on the site. You just happen to be one of the first I think of when I think 'British Scummers', because you post the most often.

I don't see anyone giving you a title for that.

Are you against the title on the grounds that this particular feature of Tazaro is negative or on the grounds that this title isn't fitting/funny/memorable/etc?

Neither - that title is applicable in so many ways to so many different people that I don't think it's worth it. Many people post in FWAN, he's just the first person most think about, because of the amount of pictures that makes people want to title him.

See the above analogy as to why I'm against this.

an attention whore with facial paralysis

serious with his FWAN posts, but either way, I find the whole Tazaro-posting-identical-looking-pictures-once-a-week thing funny and I think a lot of other people do too. Plus, it's kind of his defining thing. Sounds to me like the kind of thing people get titles for.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that the guy with the title "95.7% Noise" thinks we shouldn't give a title for something he thinks is negative behavior?

You have a weird sense if humor.

Name one other user you think the photogenic titles would fit on. I can't think of a single other user I would identify anywhere near as strongly with the FWAN thread. And Duckface is definitely something that applies specifically to Tazaro, so your objection doesn't even apply to that one.

but why the fuck does he need a title? there're lots of people who have defining characteristics in threads or as a part of their online persona ("schtick", if you will), but you don't see them getting nommed or titled unless it's something positive and constructive to the site - at least IMO

and also IMO, Tazaro is definitely NOT constructive to the site

as for the rest, there's no denying he's a troll and since there's no denying that there're gonna be people on either end of the "funny and charming" / "annoying attention whore" fence. there're gonna be people who have both opinions.

I agree with maestro. Surprising huh?

Titles under TBMfairy have ignored the "does this user deserve a title?" question. got a title for crying out loud. Uberninja, the guy who eventually got himself .

Does the title define Tazaro or highlight something interesting/memorable about him? Is the title something unique to him? Does it sound good?

If the answer to the previous questions is "yes", it works as a title.

Interesting: Depends no the person, so .5
Unique: Not really
Sounds Good: Meh, sure.

1.5/3. That's 50%, so it's not a good idea, I think.

Ani, name one other user that is associated anywhere near as much with the FWAN thread as Tazaro is.

I think of Quag and Shea way sooner for FWAN. Or DP. Or Korts and his poetry readings.Or the lady who rides horses. And several other people who have posted actually pictures of themselves in various situations or locations, but whose exact username escapes me right now.

Tazaro isn't exactly a good "association" with the FWAN thead to be begin with. Quantity does not equal Quality.

I disagree Tazaro getting a title based off of his FWAN contribution.

the question is not "does tazaro deserve a title?", but "is giving tazaro a title an activity which is constructive for the mafiascum community?" so I'm .

hugs are positive and constructive to the site

I really don't know where this 'positive and constructive' thing came from. No one's arguing that he's contributing to FWAN and I don't think he has to be what you first think of when you think FWAN.

And let's face it. No one is as ridiculously photogenic as Tazaro.

Execpt for... you know... just about everyone. There's a difference between being photogenic and posting the same photo of yourself 50 times.

(Henceforth why I disagree with the name).

Eh, I was under the impression that the title was referring to his somewhat ridiculous (no offense Tazzy) posting of pictures.

I think that's the joke?

And that's why I'd consider the title unique to him.

In post 1568, DeasVail wrote:And that's why I'd consider the title unique to him.

It's not even a good joke. And it's not even unique. I can back up like a half-step from it and make post 1550 again.

I feel like we're just arguing in circles now and we're obviously going to continue disagreeing. I just think it's very different from the analogy you used and find it quite funny myself.

Please explain to me the difference. If I came up with a good joke for an izak title based off of the fact that he was British, it would encapsulate the most important parts of the title that I see argued:

1) It has a joke in it
2) I think of izak when I think of 'British Scummers'
3) He posts enough to be recognized

I mean it wasn't like we gave it to him after he was permabanned.

Did we?

I find that title to be hilarious
Why do you argue over everything?

Holy crap I don't argue over everything. I tend to not post on things I agree on.

not sure how serious this was due to the lowercase and lack of punctuation which I usually use when I am joking or being condescending

I have no issues with Rach or her getting a title, but if she gets one for saying the same thing in most of her posts whereas we're not giving Tazaro a title despite posting the same pics in most of his posts, I think that's kind of a double standard

I mean I have Taz on my ignore list but I still support his title because posting pics is his thing, the title is funny, and I can link the two together quite easily

honestly if izak was the first person MOST PEOPLE think of when they think of British Scummers, I'd be okay with that title too. the difference is that in your scenario it's just you thinking a title for a scummer is good whereas there's more support for Tazaro's. how many good titles have been shot down because only a few people get it (although, similarly, some have been approved, although those are usually the older titles).

since I hadn't yet.
