I'm obviously just a newbie here with only a few postings since last fall. However, in my short tenure I've seen some things that I feel detract from this site. One of them is the frequent use of thread titles that I would label as click bait postings. These are used by a fair number of folks as a methodology to force you to at least click on the posting to see what it's about. I think some folks doing this are just innocently trying to give something a clever title, where as others use this purposely as their default method of presentation. It bugs the [bleep] out of me and I consider it a waste of my time to have to click on these to see what you have to say. To me, this is no different than Pelosi telling me I got to "vote for it before I can read it". Think about it folks............
If you have something interesting to say I would love to read it. It might even pulse my INTJ tendencies enough to reply to it. Please give your thread some kind of title so that I know what it's about or I'm not even reading it. There are enough clearly titled threads here and elsewhere on the net that I'm just scrolling on down past you.
Yeah sure, I'm just a newbie and I should just GTFO if I don't like things. However, I'm simply just trying to improve this great site, nothing more. I'm sure there are a lot of other members who feel the same way.

A preview pane of the original post would be nice, many other forums utilize that option...not sure what that entails for the IT Mod.

If you "can't tell what something is basically about" from the title, they fall in this camp. It's also not just the liberal trolls, they are easy enough to spot. It's also folks who would appear to be "long term respected regular members". Save your wit and charm for the body of your post and give me an informative title, please!

I recognize the problem you are talking about, but I guess it doesn't bother me as much as it does you. If the title doesn't give me a good clue about the thread I just scroll past and don't worry about it.

Plugger: "If you cant be safe at strip club in Detroit at 2am is anywhere safe?"

I just felt it was my duty as a new member to throw it out there into the fire. Folks who post like this will either change and get "your and my attentions", or they won't. No big deal to me.

A like opinion. I come here for more personal thoughts or help on specific issues, not for links. And for sure not for links that require becoming a member of some group that wants and will use my e-mail address.
