> Please enter your current title and what you want the new title to be as a post in this thread. The basic rule for Custom Titles are that they are supposed to be fun, so nothing offensive. You can’t use something that is already a title of some sort in the system (Moderator, Admin, Charter Member, etc). Self-deprecating titles are Ok, but you can’t insult someone else.

I think you’re confused about the semi-confusing system they’ve cobbled together to take care of us.
The “Custom Titles Queue” thread is NOT locked right now and IMO has never been locked. There is a different Mods-only thread called “Completed Title Changes Thread” that is always locked to us mortals.
You post your request in the former and when it’s done, they move your post into the latter. The former thread generally looks empty of requests because the mods are pretty quick to act on those requests. And the latter looks like it’s full of title requests, because it is. But those are the ones already done.
