Would people please post a thread with a meaningful title?

[cluckmecoop7]

Hi,

I would really like it if people would post their threads with a meaningful title. Lots of times I'm scrolling through new posts and I see quite a few threads with titles like the following:

"Help!"
"I need advice!"
"Someone please help!"
"Something is wrong"
"pictures"

And, etc.

I would really appreciate it if people would post threads with titles like these:

"I think my hen is sick, what can I do for her?"
"Could someone tell me how to candle eggs please?"
"Pictures of my flock!"

Thanks,

- Clucky

If you can fix this- I have about 10,000 more sites I'd like to see you apply that to!

Ironically the people you want to read this so they stop posting "Help!"... never will.

Yeah, probably.

It's futile.

There are things everywhere to try to prevent it. You can lead the horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Well, I tried.

This definitely would be helpful so we know what it's about, but people will continue to do it just to drive us crazy

@cluckmecoop7 - I call it survival of the fittest: Those threads with meaningless subjects usually receive very few responses. If a subject doesn't catch my eye, i don't click on it.
Your thread's subject hit a nerve in me, however.

Yup, peeps spending just a few moments more on a good title helps a ton! It allows others to more readily help them, it's better for search engines to organize the info, it's easier for our search to find and present stuff to peeps, etc. etc. etc.

...but at the end of the day, a lot of people don't go to the trouble... either because they aren't aware of the benefits, or don't care.

It IS a big problem, in other forums too.
