Poll: Misleading Thread Titles.

[Nex-Falx]

Are you sick of all the threads with joke / misleading titles?

I for one am very sick of them, and since I've started lurking the site (Think back to Fallout 3 ZP episode, because that's what brought me here.) it's been happening more and more.

Yes, I know, but the ends justify the means... I think.

I don't think there's been that many actually, that or I've been browsing with my eyes closed. But it's just a back button away to get back on track ^^ fortunately.

 

[Julianking93]

No. I like to think of it as a pleasant surprise when I find out what its really about

 

[Mushroomfreak111]

Yes, yes I am. Also you suck for wasting my time >.<

 

[SonicKoala]

..... Where are the breasts, alcohol, and parties you promised? I am supremely disappointed in this thread.

 

[sky14kemea]

It depends on whether it's clever or not I guess. I don't mind if it somehow connects to the content of the thread, but when it's completely off-the-wall random it does seem pointless.

 

[Radeonx]

If they have to do with the content, then no.
But stupid titles like this, then yes.

Even that Topic named "Jesus was really from America" turning out to be about nuts in Brownies??? COME ON, talk about badge hunting.

 

[CuddlyCombine]

Haha. I love them. I've used them occasionally on the Escapist to illustrate the blindness of the average forumite.

 

[Nex-Falx]

I suppose it is, but it is an offense that is punishable, so at least it's being dealt with.

Now I go to somewhere that has the aforementioned things you promised.

1.) OOPS, didn't know that was punishable, Go-Go-Gadget Thread-Name-Changer

2.) Congrats.

There was a thread named that?

 

[BillyShakes]

Please, if the mods can hear me, and possess a truly just sense of irony, suspend this thread-maker.

 

[Nex-Falx]

I was told there would be pie and punch.

Nope, We're just freeing some Canadians...

Btw, How does one change the name of their thread? (This goes out to all, not just the guy I'm quoting.)

yup that or something very similar. Today as well, I wasn't impressed.

Technically misleading threat titles are just advertising to get attention. It's very annoying, and utterly useless.

 

[Godavari]

I half-expected this thread to be unrelated to the title. Am I the only one?
