Please Let People Know What Your Topic is About

Sooner · ‎03-10-2010

This board is getting absolutely full of teaser titles. Why on earth can't people just let others know what they want to talk about?

It would be far more pleasant to come here and see mostly topic titles that let you know what the post is about.

If everyone else enjoys being taunted then it's just me and I am sorry for taking your time. My apologies.

I agree @Sooner I would like to add, if someone wants to ask about or discuss a QVC item, state what it is, not just post the item number which forces everyone else to look it up.

@Sooner Agree that some titles are missing information and not lending enough info to know the content and intent of the message.

Sometimes the message content isn't clear either. Not sure if the poster is trying to see who understand and gets the point or if it was difficult to make the message clear, I get that.

Sometimes I don’t understand how people expect to get any answers when they post a teaser. For example, asking “Has anyone done this?” vs “Has anyone changed a tire?” Because someone who HAS changed a tire may have never opened the first post but likely would have opened the 2nd.

Maybe they crave attention?

Information in or out of a thread title never bothers me.

How much of your time here does it take to click on a thread title, find you are not interested, and move on to something else?

If someone is speaking about a certain product, you are not "forced" to look it up or engage in the discussion. Just move on.

We are talking about seconds here, clicking in and out.

Easy.

@Mersha People shouldn't have to spend time opening threads they care nothing about. Humor should be obvious. Pictures should be obvious.

As opposed to hundreds of people wasting time opening topics they don't care about, how about ONE person being kind enough to let people know what they as posting about in their title. Why play "Gotcha!?"

If it isn't worth telling people, maybe it doesn't deserve a post.

@QVCkitty1 @Mersha agree.

@Sooner , I agree with you.

I'd also wish when people post, if the post is going to be a long one, they would make paragraphs.

There is one thread that a poster started with no paragraphs. And it's very long. I had an interest in it until I saw everything running together. IMO, paragraphs make it an easier read.
