The Subject field is for the Subject!

A quick and friendly reminder that when you make a new topic, the subject field is intended to be a brief string of text describing the content of the thread. I don't like it when I see topics with misleading, meaningless and ambiguous titles such as "lying", "favorite", "READ THIS!", "a weird question", etc.

As always, most people aren't doing anything wrong. But those committing the offenses are watering down the listings and contributing to an atmosphere of confusion.

Well yes it is misleading sometimes when you look at a topics subject and are dumfounded at what its about. I found myself not wanting to go into these topics as it is probably full to the brim with nothing but nonsense.

Yes, i think justifying what the topic is about is a very good idea. Although most people do this already and that is good, its for the people who don't that this is intended to.

Make sure your topics are clearly understandable and that they have a good reason to be posted in the first place
