Useless Thread Titles

I've noticed an increase in the number of useless thread titles being used. Things like "Lefty", "Urgent Help" and "What about" give people no clue as to what the thread is about and really annoys the tits of me! I've been changing them myself recently but I'm changing tactics now. If you create a thread with a useless* title then don't be surprised if it just gets deleted - you have been warned!

 

And on that bombshell, good night. :)

 

*useless is defined as any title that does not, in the opinion of myself or another moderator, accurately describe the contents of the thread. Our decision will be final and will always be right, even when wrong.

Hear, hear.

 

What's the point of a thread title if it says "Help needed", (or more likely, "help needed!!!11!!!!!")? Help with your maths homework? Help getting dressed in the mornings?

Just wanted to ask about this as I just posted up a joke thread in off-topic and well... I didn't want to give the joke away describing it in detail in the thread.

 

Can threads regarding jokes be a little ambiguous (to not give it away or bore the reader to death)?

 

I can understand the classifieds/supra chat/members chat/technical all being titled more specifically, but would have thought Off-topic could be a little less... ruled with an iron fist? :)
