z0m4d 727 Posted May 31, 2015 Can we stop click baiting? Just put a succinct summary of your post in the subject line. Give it a try. You might find it's easy and more people respond to your post. Yes, I realize this post hypocritically does the very thing I'm criticizing. I did so for effect. 21 DarthEnderX, DariusAPB, Joostuh and 18 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgottenlore 9,824 Posted May 31, 2015 Amen. The purpose of the subject line is to give people a general idea of, you know, the SUBJECT of the the thread. I quite often will not participate in threads because the subject line does not identify the topic. 4 Gadge, Stronghammer, z0m4d and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WWHSD 9,273 Posted May 31, 2015 Amen. The purpose of the subject line is to give people a general idea of, you know, the SUBJECT of the the thread. I quite often will not participate in threads because the subject line does not identify the topic. More importantly, if it sticks around for a few days or gets necroed I end up opening it up multiple times because I'm not sure what is about and end up thinking "not this **** thing again".

CaineHoA 245 Posted May 31, 2015 I have to say that i agree with the OP. Whats so hard about writing a meaningfull subject/topic? There are so many threads active each day that i would like to read only those im interested in. 1 Rodafowa reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerotc 1,011 Posted May 31, 2015 I'm glad you brought this up, because it was starting to bother me and thought I was the only one. A lot of the thread titles here remind me of click-bait news article headlines which are equally annoying. "ISIS planning major attack on Western world?" *click* "We're not sure, what do readers think?" 4 z0m4d, SniperSnake28, DariusAPB and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cody campbell 361 Posted June 1, 2015 Sometimes Hmmm...I guess you could make this argument superficially, but at least the content of this post is attempting to bring an end to the practice. I actually enjoyed this one...the other one, not so much. I was going to post how much I hated the idea in that thread, but I think silence and disinterest would be a stronger response. So...thanks, OP, for giving me a chance to rant without bumping the thread I didn't like! 2 Marinealver and z0m4d reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DariusAPB 6,925 Posted June 1, 2015 Clickbait is the single one thing that annoys me the most with the current state of the internet/social networking etc. That is all. I unfollow sites when i see clickbait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corellian Corvette 1,733 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) The one I hate the most atm is lists. The 14 Most outrageous X-Wing arguments of all time! Number 7 had me in stitches!!!!! To soon, I actually have 4 stitches in the back of my head at the moment. T'was from a human bite, luckily the fellow's jaw is okay and he didn't mess up his teeth or gums. But it warranted one hell of a painful (and huge) anti-biotic shot. Edited June 1, 2015 by Corellian Corvette Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
