    Here, yes I do love subject lines telling me nothing about the contents, as it's not that busy a place, so anything's something to read. Even when it's nothing :D 
    On super busy forums, no. No I don't o_o

  • Exactly what I was thinking, larky!  Simple Minds think alike?  Hmm...

    Forum etiquette here has slipped considerably; I thought a document on it might help, but the worst offenders would probably not read it.

  • "..but the worst offenders would probably not read it."

    Maybe if it was headed "Stuff about things and CATS!"

  • what are you trying to say, elbow? I'm offended

  • LBO is onto something.

    just name the topic "isn't it the worst when .."

    and then the link to the document would read ..

    "link text doesn't explain where it leads?"

    surely you'd get a billion hits. maybe even a "KA"billion hits : ]

  • Anytime I've seen an etiquette thread come up, offenders have come in to ransack the thread, lmao. I wrote one once and it really didn't go over so well. :P

  • ...wish that the couple people who seem to be accounting for 80% of these type of threads would just stop it? :) And not you, striatic, 'cause this one is funny. Thlop! (ETA: I guess maybe not obvious I do NOT mean anyone who posted in this thread; this is a nice meta thread/humor thing. :)

  • Can some people are getting bored waiting for the servers to be back up?

  • I have to say, Larky said it best. I immediately thought of that line when I saw the title. And I totally expected it to be the content of the thread.

  • I love your way of saying things Striatic. Nice one.

  • I don't really hate it at all.  In fact I've seen some really creative titles that don't really explain what's inside.  If I don't like something, I usually just ignore it to find something I do like

  • +1 Larky Lion.

    And yeah, I agree Striatic. I like to know what the thread is about so I decide if it's worth reading. Though I must restrain from the urge to post my whole thread in the title at times.

    @Laurali: A creative title is good too, as it will catch my attention. It does say the person who wrote it considered the readers, thought about a way to lure the audience.
     It's just the meaningless titles like: "Idea" that are just.. flat, inspirationless, uninformative, unattractive.

    @ Cerulean: I just posted a thread like that, and only then saw this thread. Well not really about etiquette, more that I dislike the mangling of language that happens often online. And that I didn't notice untill I saw it here, that there are soooo many people here who can actually Write and Spell and Make Coherent Sentences without leetspeak.... I am very very glad my eyes are opened to that.
    That one reminder was enough though. No need for more reminders.

    That's just what I thought when I read the incomplete title and now I have the song stuck in my head :)
    Bring back Simple Minds, they were fab!!

    Hang on shouldn't this be in the off-topic section? Or maybe we have got the content wrong and should be posting about Glitch?
    'Don't you, forget about Glitch, the game is back up soon, yeah!

    An itchy Glitch

    And soothe the twitch
    Until Glitch server's On

  • ... wonder why this thread hasn't been moved to the Off Topic forum?
    Posted 16 months ago by Hawkwell Subscriber! | Permalink
  • maybe because it isn't "off topic", in the sense that it is a topic related to the subject of subject lines in glitch forum posts?

    so it is about glitch, and thus not off-topic, since the topic is glitch?
    Posted 16 months ago by striatic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • And by relating this post metaphorically to an item... say the... Glitchmas Present.... It's even Glitchier :)
