EVERY title is a click-bait title; that's the whole point of a title on your thread. You are (a) informing people what your thread is about and (b) enticing people (whether it's the entire group of forum-goers or just a subset) to come view your thread. Granted some titles accomplish these two things better than others, but that's besides the point. The point is that we can all stop calling out every other thread title for being "click-bait." Seriously, it's getting to the point where the click-bait complaint posts are more irritating than the titles.

PSA over, carry on with your forum browsing, and have great day!

I think people don't understand what "click bait" means when I see them complaining.

Not to call anyone out, but just as an example there's a thread on the front page here titled:

"The best FFG product ever?"

That's not descriptive of what the thread is actually about. What the thread is about is the Imperial Veterans pack. And there's no mention of it in the thread title.

Or a blatant lie. Like "Best X-Wing deals ever!" only to find that Target has 50 cents off the TFA starter and it's now 39.49!

when in fact it is an idea for something new homebrewed, a question about something, etc etc,?

mildly and at best, it is -misleading-

carry on then.
