Topic: Learn to make clear headlines. So the people will know what your post is about before opening it.

The headline says it all.

I strongly support this. Headlines like "why" are not appropriate headlines. I talked about this in another thread, where I said if I were a mod I would edit headlines more than anything else.

I've seen this topic before. And it worked. For like two days.

Do you think editing people's headlines is the way to fix the problem?
I'm not sure it is. That's like hiding the problem.

Let the posters face the ridicule of their peers for having a crappy headline.
If they aren't getting the idea, sending them a PM about it might help.

You guys keep pushing for 100% quality, but you're not going to get it. It's a chan. Deal with it.

@81,693 (brie !OudrPWaUDQ)
Yeah, I think it's better than locking or deleting threads, and why should threads get bumps through ridicule when it's better for people to know what the thread really is from the start, like OP said. Maybe we need a sage function so people can post without bumping.

@previous (Broseph !!fxnDb+Ve4)
If the topic isn't a shitpost and the only problem is a crappy headline, why would you lock or delete it?

If it's a good topic, it will still get attention; if it's shitty, it won't.
I don't think a sage feature would work too well on minichan, saging wouldn't affect much at all... the board is not fast enough for that.

@previous (brie !OudrPWaUDQ)
That's exactly why it would work well. The sage feature doesn't work well on boards that move too fast because the thread gets bumped anyway.

brie !OudrPWaUDQ replied with this 15 years ago, 53 minutes later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #81,741

@previous (Broseph !!fxnDb+Ve4)
Alright, but that's not the only reason i don't think it would work well.

Bumping isn't the main mechinism for seeing if there are new posts on minichan. On the topics page, you would still see that there are new posts in the topic.
If you take that away as well, then you would have to manually check topics to see if there are new posts.

If r04r thinks a sage feature is a good idea and can think of a way to make it work, then sure, why not... but since we don't currently have a sage feature, I don't think it's in the cards, man.

Most people check almost every single topic anyway because that's just the way the userbase works. It's not like it really matters one way or the other. It's not like you could sage-bomb a thread out of existence anyway if you're a non-mod so what's the point? People just need to not be so srs bsns about these parts and that's pretty much all that needs to be said.

Jebus fockain croyst this board is slowly going to be anontalk.se 2.0, hopefully without the pedos.

@81,742 (C)
People wouldn't have to check every single topic for interesting content if each topic had an appropriate headline.

Also, sage bombing wouldn't be possible since there is no bump limit. It would just be a way to post in the thread without bumping it.

The thread is now stickied, so at least one mod agrees.

Some people like to be cryptic about their post topics. What's the deal? Faggotsss. I'm sure 1 click isn't that time consuming, especially since you have the time to be browsing a board called minichan!Americans these days. Always want it the easy way. Soon, your fingers will be obese too. Then there will be exercise machines and liposuctions for fingers.

I was about to make this topic yesterday but I was too lazy! I saw a bunch of topics that I didn't want to open because they were so vague. Thanks, broseph.

My penis serves as mine. It's well worn, and has grooves like that of a bicycle handle.

^ This.

You're going to look at all the topics anyway just to be nosey so STFU and sit down.

Who gives a shit about the name of a topic as long as there is quality in the topic?
