9. IF I may, it's rude to post with threads that say only "This!" or other ambiguous click-bait

I never ever read posts with lame titles like that... and I'm annoyed at the same time that maybe there's something important in there that I might have missed. Especially when I see one of the dreaded "This!" posts make it to the "greatest threads" section. It's passive-aggressive attention-seeking behavior, and that's why I quit Fakebook. Well, that and the Russian collusion thing.

But here's the problem: The vast majority of these ambiguously-titled clickbait posts are not worth my time. I have a full time job, as do the vast majority of us here, I imagine. Is it really so much to ask to provide a descriptive title in your posts? If so, prepare to be disliked and ignored.


Rant over.
