I agree. How hard is it to think about what your post is about and put the summary in a few words as a title?  My favorite is "Am I the only one?"  How about instead saying "I hate lizards. Anyone else feel the same?"

You aren't required to read every single post.  If the title doesn't interest you or if it's vague....move along.  There are plenty of other posts.

@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.


@HisElk1  - If the post is long and there are no paragraphs, oftentimes  I will skip over it.

Same~~~I am not big on long posts in general, but if there are no paragraphs, I usually don't read them.

Re: Please Let People Know What Your Topic is About

Being vague and/or deceitful with the thread title is often meant to hide a verboten topic within.

 

I've seen it plenty.  A few responses are scored and tallied, but a moderator eventually catches on.
