Vague thread titles
Guys, don't do this. Do not give your thread a misleading, vague title that will cause members to click on it.

Just don't do this here. If you want click-bait, the internet is sickeningly full of that shit. You can't go anywhere online where people are not pulling this crap. Don't do it here.

If you feel the need to use a thread title such as "Once again, in desperation", it damn well better be important.

Use descriptive thread titles which accurately describe the subject of your thread. Avoid click-bait titles. Avoid sensationalism. Do not mislead your fellow forum members.

Further to the point: Para has banned the practice: From this point, any click-bait, vague thread titles gets your thread locked

That was seventeen months ago. Maybe it needs a bump?

Well if we all get to act like moderators then here’s my bitch. I fucking hate that you found it necessary to start a thread about vague titles then go back and search out para’s thread on vague titles and felt the need to bump both fucking threads today that say the identical thing. What the actual fuck?

I suppose I should just be happy that you occasionally capitalize nowadays.

Glass fucking houses.

Then you'll love this: He bumped this thread, Para's thread, and a third thread: Please title your thread in a way that describes the content.

Oh boy. He's on a roll, folks. He bumped Member behavior and the administering of SIGforum and saw fit to chastise a member directly: No matter what, just don't quit



You're becoming annoying, bendable.

bendable can write well in standard English when he chooses to do so. The bizarre spacing, punctuation, etc. seen in his posts is an affected style.



Serious about crackers.

Yeah but affected by what? Big Grin


He's been amusing in the past. Even entertaining. But today's BS was so far over the line that he's lost me....

Agreed. Bumping Para's thread makes sense, bumping more than that just becomes obnoxious.
