Re: Please Let People Know What Your Topic is About

@Sooner   Please give two or three specific examples of what annoys you so much.  That way we all will know how much info you need in an opening statement.

Re: Please Let People Know What Your Topic is About

I agree. It would also be nice is posters would stop flooding all the forums with multiple memes. Even one or two a day wouldn't be bad, but some put up 5 or 6 a day. Occasionally they are cute, but come on....in the Pet forum in particular.

@They CallMe MRWILKES   Perhaps the mods could be petitioned to remove these types of posts.

Why make extra work for the mods when topic titles that make sense is all that posters need to simply be mindful of?

You are right, of course, the mods certaintly don't need extra work.  But getting people to do what you want them to do is difficult if not impossible.

If all people have to worry about is what the thread is about then they're having a really good day.

@JillyMarie I think you are making bigger deal out of this than is the point.  I made a suggestion.  Not something to write in the tax code.  I asked people if they would think about it because it is kinder to the others who enjoy reading topics here.  That's all.

@Sooner 

 

With all due respect, that was not, IMO, the way your opening statement came accross.

 

"absolutely full"

 

"Why on earth can't people"

 

"enjoys being taunted"
