Topic Titles - Everyone Please Read.

Post by kjd »

Hi all,

I've noticed lately that there is a trend on starting a topic and the title being very vague.

Sometimes it is the start of a thought, or an intentional click bait or just not very well worded.

Can we please try and make sure we give an accurate title to the subject you are talking about so we know what the topic is about, it is easier to find in the future etc etc.

So if you have a hunting report let us know in the subject line that it's a report. If it is a question atleast allude to the subject you are talking about. Just make it clear what the topic of your post is.

So please don't post a topic with titles like:
"I have a question"
"Went out for a shot"
"Help"
"Had a Request" yes Camel :P I'm talking about you, in this instance you posted up brilliant info and it would have been lost in a months time. But don't worry I fixed it for you!

We all have done it in the past, me as well but if we can tidy this up I think you will find that your posts will get more reads and be easier to find for future reference. It will also make admin's job easier to keep track of what is going on.

Thanks in advance.

While you have called Camel out for his vagueness, I believe this has been brought up to pull Missed into line without hurting his feelings.

No I was just going through the topics posted recently and it occurred to me that a lot of them you couldn't tell wtf they were about.

And you are wrong Glen, there are plenty of others that do it but if that was the case you would have made it backfire haha.
