jonathanc Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Off topic is to discuss anything you want = correct. However, thread titles bear a real importance as to its contents. Thread titles such as "Meh", "Bah" or "BRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" are most likely to be considered spam. Perhaps something such as "Meh, why are my pants on fire" or "Bah, I can't find the boot release" would further improve the overall qualify of thread titles. All IMHO only ofc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 why is mr top gun getting upset? i Quote from 1st post. I've noticed an increase in the number of useless thread titles being used. Things like "Lefty", "Urgent Help" and "What about" give people no clue as to what the thread is about and really annoys the tits of me! I've been changing them myself recently but I'm changing tactics now. If you create a thread with a useless* title then don't be surprised if it just gets deleted - you have been warned! And on that bombshell, good night. *useless is defined as any title that does not, in the opinion of myself or another moderator, accurately describe the contents of the thread. Our decision will be final and will always be right, even when wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 why is mr top gun getting upset? i It's a pain when people have super-vague thread titles, such as "please help". Help with what? I can help with some IT issues, a small number of car-related issues including the supra's code 42 error, may be a bit of photography. I can also give advice on domestic plumbing (only the very basics though), choosing a bicycle, pointing brickwork at a real push, and procrastination. I'm not much help on mixing concrete, fitting Surrey flanges, most things to do with turbo engines, cross-stitching, or where to find class A substances on a Saturday night. It's much better if whoever is writing the thread, gives it a meaningful title. That way I'm more likely to help if it's about code 42, and less likely to offer help if it's a domestic flange-related issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mawby Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 This is on the rise again. I've already deleted a thread titled "Help please", renamed one titled "1st cat", and I'm going to flip a coin as to the fate of the one titled "Mirrors".

caseys Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Can you introduce a 3-4 word minimum for thread titles maybe? It'd help with inane ones... apart from in OT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Can you introduce a 3-4 word minimum for thread titles maybe? It'd help with inane ones... apart from in OT? Maybe we should introduce the Supraforums method.... poor thread title or even (in Geo's case) posting in the wrong section just gets rude, stupid comments posted in it.

Charlotte Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Ahem. Can you hear me at the back? Good. Please, for the love of god - if you're thinking of starting a new thread, take the time to read the first post on this one. Any threads with useless titles which don't relate to the contents will be deleted.
