Please be more specific in your title when starting a thread


Recommended Posts

This is just a quick compilation of some of the titles on this subforum, none of which give any indication about the discussed topic:

  • Quick question
  • Agree or not?
  • Debug question
  • help me please!
  • what is happening here?
  • I love this game but

For future, please be more specific when giving your thread a title. I know we have a feature specifically for these cases, where you can hover over the title and it displays you a quick excerpt, but it still takes these few seconds more than reading the title.

Just a thought, wasn't supposed to be a rant of any sorts.

Peace.

Honestly as much as I hate the Reddit format I feel that the nested topics and upvotes/downvotes is probably the best format for a game forum that is in early access or alpha/beta. New relevant content floats to the top, irrelevant stuff floats down, and doesn't get regurgitated every time someone posts to it.

@Tobruk Shouldn't this thread be called "A thread about being more specific in your title when starting a thread" ?

I was expecting something completely different :p 

Totally agree with you though, forums are filled full of crap recently - I used to live on here but now only come on maybe once a day to sift through the garbage and see if there's anything new or interesting.

This sums it up perfectly for me - and "regurgitated" is such a pleasing word :D 

Ideally you'd have some combined metric between an upvote/downvote system and thread activity, that way a thread that is being downvoted but still hotly posted in stays more relevant than on reddit, where it disappears into controversial to never be seen or heard from again. I also hate that reddit doesn't notify you about comments further down your chain that might still be relevant to your discussion.
