"Have you seen this?" is UNACCEPTABLE. Anything along those lines is UNACCEPTABLE. You guys have been told for months about this stuff, but you keep doing it. From this point on, I am going to lock such threads with no warning, no explanation, and those threads will not be reopened under any circumstances. And for those of you who want to be cute and start all your threads with "This thread is about...", well, those will get locked as well. You know what we're asking you to do and you know why you're being asked to do it. | ||

What I don't understand Para is how you monitor this type of thing with quick timing and diligence. Not only thread titles, but content within. Appreciate you keeping this forum great - just wondering how you do it. Seems like a full time job in itself. | |||

Thank you. Some of the threads in the lounge were starting to read like YouTube video titles. | |||

Thank you. I don't want to have to open a thread to find out what it's about... and then find that it's something I'm not interested in. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

And, oh, there is one exception- The Lair. Members post- as the subject line of their thread- a line from a film or TV show or song, and other members fill in dialogue or lyrics. This is a game we've long played here and there's no need to change that. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

A few months ago I swear I saw a thread begin with something like: “You won’t believe what this actress looks like now!” ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Aaaaannnd....here’s a Prime example. Newsflash...this thread title is not really about an Alexia upgrade.

With the adjectives: Breathtaking. Jaw-dropping. Shocking. Sort of like the fake "news" stories which tell a story in 21 pages, two sentences and 20 ads per page ... | |||

Thank you, Para. If I see a thread title that ends with "..." it says "click on me to complete the subject." I'm happy to see the pushback from everyone. | |||

Also have trouble with posts with a URL link and no description. I mean, why post it if you're not going to offer a comment about it?  Regardless thanks for what you do Para. Much appreciated!

I have to second this sentiment. I can't even add to it. I've thought of some but they all just fall short of my intent. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

It’s a pet peeve of mine as well. Unfortunately it’s almost a compulsion for some. Good luck! | |||

So happy to see this stance taken as you’ve been more than generous with the amount of time you’ve given people to comply. My time, and that of others here on the board, is valuable and shouldn’t be wasted opening threads just to see what they’re about. We should be able to skim through the titles and know exactly which ones are worth reading. My hat is off to you, Para. | |||
