When you're making a new thread, please be sure to include what it might be able, either in the title, or the subtitle. There are a number of threads that have the title "Argh!", "Question", or "Rant". From those, you cannot really tell what they're about.
For example:
Instead of "Argh!", you could do:
Title: Killed by Murphy again!
Subtitle: Argh!
Instead of "Question", you could do:
Title: How do you make chocolate pies?
Instead of "Rant", you could do:
Title: Why Ebonguards should be nerfed
Remember, you want to include what you're talking about, and perhaps a small other bit in the subtitle. I'm going to start making non-descriptive titles a bit moreso if I see them, so that people can know what text is actually contained within the thread.
So, feel free to let us know what you think, just make sure we know what we're getting into beforehand!

Anyone who doesn't feel like reading every thread on the boards?
Richter2005-09-15 17:43:03
The stupid reply comes from the person with the high warning level, the good one comes from the person with no warning.
Imagine that.
If there were no moderators to gently prod people in the right direction, this board would be full of topics and titles like "lol omgz joo suck!".

No-one is forcing you to.

If you're looking for information, or the answer to a question, it's far easier to skim the threads then it it is to hit up the search engine or wade through crap like "Question".

Title: A bit o' spam
Subtitle: don't waste your time reading this.
Definative thread titles box us in. How are we supposed to hijack a thread if the title is so narrow? If we can't turn every thread into a personal soapbox to stand upon and bitch, why should we bother reading anything?
Argh!!! The admins need to fix my reply button. It is so underpowered. For the amount of spam it is capable of producing, it rarely adds anything beneficial in free flow of ideas.
Overpowered moderators! If I had your skills I could have a point too!
I don't remember where I was going with this, so let me just finish up by saying I completely agree with Richter.
Are you still reading this? I told up front you'd be wasting your time. Your probably the type of person who would read every thread regardless of the title.
