In general if you have to go hunting to find a title for someone because they've been around a while and you "can't believe they don't have a title yet!" it's because they haven't done anything title worthy and your suggestions will end up being weak and unsatisfying. I have seen this happen lots of times.

i dunno man
most good titles are brainstormed in this thread after someone comes to think that a title would be a good idea

xRECKONERx · Post Post #668 (ISO) » Tue May 19, 2015 5:00 am

yes and they're all very bad

Quilford · Post Post #669 (ISO) » Tue May 19, 2015 5:03 am

yeah they're not great.

I think TBM is a tough act to follow tho

xRECKONERx · Post Post #670 (ISO) » Tue May 19, 2015 5:03 am

even looking back at the titles TBM gave out over his last year here, the great ones were the ones that had an actual thing behind them that caused the title rather than SO AND SO NEEDS A TITLE, LET'S FIND ONE FOR THEM

It's not the title fairy that is the problem, its that the suggestions are all bad.

So.... we just need more awesome people to join the site.

Or y'all need to just

be more awesome.

You can do it. I have faith!

Treating titles like they need to be super good is silly anyway. I'd much rather have a steady stream of mediocre titles than one or two titles every six months or something.

ISO · Post Post #674 (ISO) » Tue May 19, 2015 5:24 am

I 100% disagree with that philosophy. A title, imo, is a recognition of a users unique personality on the site. If we can't think of a good way of synthesizing a users unique personality on the site, the most likely explanation is that they don't yet deserve a title, not that we should think harder.

Settling on something that isn't that good is even worse, since people tend not to suggest titles for those that already have them. It means when the user does do something that is title worthy they won't get a title based off of it, and that's super lame.

Titles aren't just candy that everyone gets. They're a recognition of something specific. Trying to recognize something specific when nothing specific has happened yet is the actual silly part.
