Me too.

Better than having a character limit leading to some really cryptic sounding posts liek some boards have

I don't know how to change font sizes, but it seems like the long thread titles are always a larger font

title says it all. discuss.

I always want to make my titles in click-bait format, but it feels like cheating.

"Corran Horn got into range 1 of a whole TIE swarm, what happens next will blow your mind..."

"Opened up a Slave 1 and found THIS"

Tie Phantoms HATE HIM. Find out why...

"You Won't Believe What Howlrunner and Kath Scarlet got up to in this build!"

"Corran Horn got into range 1 of a whole TIE swarm, what happens next will blow your mind..."

"Opened up a Slave 1 and found THIS"

"Corran did 2 damage then got shot to pieces before his second shot"

"picture of a Gunner card"

I don't really care either way, and feel this post probably wasnt necessary

Wrong. It absolutely wasn't necessary.

i would rather a long title then one that doesn't explain what the post is about.

i effing hate click bait.

I really really really really really hate upworthy. and im not even conservative.

Yes

At first I was like:

Then I was like:

Now I'm like:

Nope, don't like it. Not one bit.

Pretty much this. If I don't have some idea what a thread is going to be about I'm not going to open it. My I don't have time to sift through dozens of threads I don't care about because people are too lazy to think up accurate descriptions.

A quote of some tips that I used to see posted at one of my old workplaces.

In a background article on the leaked diplomatic cable archive, the NYT today discusses the "Ambassador's Cable Drafting Tips" by Richard E. Hoagland, the U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan. From the article:

• Pay attention to the first 5 words, they need to catch the reader's attention, they are the only thing diplomats see in the electronic cable queue
• Avoid flabby writing (see this too often in diplomacy)
• Incorporate story telling
• But: cute writing is never acceptable, only for toddlers, not for professionals...

^ exactly, be concise and to the point.

Not "is this any good" - should be " is this swarm list good" etc

Like those people that don't put subject headings in emails, errrrgh

I couldn't find the entire guide but my favorite was the last bullet point:

Make sure it passes the "So What?" test. There is no shortage of paper or information in Washington.
