Post a DESCRIPTIVE thread title, please.

CJOttawa · 11-14-2011, 09:20 PM

For example, this title of this thread.

Folks, if you post a thread titled:
"I need..."

...and the content of the first post reads:
"...someone to mill a slot in a mag rail."

...do you think an airsmith is going to notice your thread?

Think about how others will see your post, not just today but a year from now.

I've renamed a few threads with titles like "HUH?" to reflect their content. This is EXTREMELY time-consuming as it means reading every thread.

Help the mods out - well, help THIS somewhat OCD mod out - and be descriptive with thread titles, please.

Hope you enjoy that

randall ace · 11-14-2011, 10:42 PM

my bad.......thanks for the help.

p8ntninja · 11-15-2011, 12:22 AM

Guilty as charged. I shall be more descriptive.

PistolRogue · 11-15-2011, 12:25 AM

Very much agree! I would think to a small degree this would also help the few people who actually USE the search function before posting a new thread. Some of the titles certain people choose make it impossible to find those posts using the search function unless you remember the specific title.

There's been several of these in the member's section. It has gotten to the point where I don't even open the threads anymore so

Yep, I'm all about the logical way of doing things and I completely agree. I'm a pretty OCD person myself an am guilty of stupid thread titles. I will now post descriptive and relevant thread titles.

Thanks for bringing this up.
