I really hate meaningless thread titles

[fohat.digs]

Seriously, why do morons start meaningless threads with meaningless titles?

Usually, when I see something like "just a random thought" I ignore it because I assume that it is an arrogant idiot wasting other people's time, or an exhibitionist who had a brain fart.

But, occasionally, there might be some snippet of value buried in there somewhere.

Please - create thread titles that have some sort of meaning and relevance, or else call it "another retarded thread that means nothing".

Thank you.

I agree. Would never fly on most other large forums, but then again GH is a fairly small community so I'm not overly fussed

They're made vague enough you have to click them to find out what the topic is. Put it in the title and it makes it easier.

Mods should just start manually changing bad titles everywhere but the off topic section.

It's like email subject lines that bear no relevance to the content.

The type of thread title I hate the most often reads something like this:

SOMEBODY PLEASE HEEEEELP ME!!!!

With the body often being something like this:

i really really need a new gaming keyboard it must have pbt keycaps and cherry mx topre switches have a usb hub backlighting and headphone jack and cost no more than thirty dollars and i need it tomorrow somebody please tell me where can i buy it

Fohat, if it makes you any happier, I look at the author first. If you hadn't authored this thread, I would avoid it.

I would avoid it.

But you knew what it was about, in advance of making your decision.

I knew it was a rant by a notorious curmudgeon. And since I am no different, I happily joined the thread to throw in some meaningless lines.

Add titles like 'A question about <keyboard>' when the question could be added to the title. Means there are hundreds of similar titles and harder to identify which are which.

'Can the Pn key be moved on a Poker II?' is a good title, whereas 'Poker II question' doesn't tell us much and shares the same title as others. Same for many titles.

I do this too. Unless it's in my preferred forum, I look at author first.
