Good point Ki but I think 99.99999% of us here are mature enough not to do that. Also, I feel that --- assuming the idea were taken up --- any sort of protracted behaviour of that sort (you gotta let em celebrate once or twice if it means a lot to them) should perhaps result in first a warning and if that doesn't work they can be, well, stripped of their title. If THAT doesn't work, then they could be banned from being included in the nominations for a specific time, maybe a month, though of course that would lead to bad feeling and be negative.

But I don't feel anyone will go lording it over everyone (unless it's our very own Batlord --- "I'm MOTW bitches! Swoon in the light of my glory!" etc ), just think it's more about people working to be the kind of member who can be chosen as MOTW by doing "good" stuff here, so in this case if it worked the means would in fact justify the end.

Also, if people feel smug about it then you can't control anyone's feelings. Just as long as they don't start looking for a sceptre and crown! That'd be extra!
