It is getting frustrating that we all have to deal with so many dupe threads because of unclear thread titles. Please, make you title express what the thread is about. This is frustrating to others when they post a clear topic or news event to discuss and then they get jumped on for being a duplicate but no reasonable person would interpret the original thread title as the same topic. Then users interested in the topic expressed by the clear title start a discussion that gets locked and the unclear thread often has fewer interested members involved because those with interest did not understand the topic. A big part of this seems to be this competition to write a cool or funny title rather than to write the actual topic.
