What is wrong with the title?

Takes Kev behind the woodshed for a title fetish beating since the title is only 2% of post content. :)

Esoteric, I just read the ungodly comment-avalance you unleashed in here nitpicking @kevdude. I have to say that if this level of distracting stuff is going to come up whenever a title needs to be edited, it makes me want to remove Rule 3 problems from the 24 Hour Reprieve altogether and launch a community rule change discussion banning Link posts completely.

Your opinion that titles are only 2% of the word count and therefore not important shows a complete lack of understanding of online communication. Shitty titles don't get clicks. They don't get shared, because they make the person sharing them look bad. They also don't show up appropriately in search results. Shitty titles are in fact a great way to keep research buried.

The post title is like the rudder of a ship -- a tiny fraction of the total mass, but it controls the whole vessel and where it ends up.

This discussion is over. @kevdude and I agree on it for the most part. Lets just let it go.

If you want to delete posts because you think the title is "shitty" go ahead. I probably won't post here anymore anyway because of the title Nazis.

No its not. Its like the cover on a book. Everybody won't meet your title standards but knock yourself out deleting their posts. I am sure they will appreciate it. I fought for this change to hopefully get some fresh air so I could post again. I think i'm done with you rule nazis and I have not decided but I might never post or comment here ever again. I am sick of you nit picking mother fuckers.


I tried hard to help make all this happen but I think i'm done with the whole lot of this crap. Yall make life to damn hard. I am going back to the Altered Minds UK forum and have some peace. I wish you well and you know that.
