Revised Member Rules- the "Subject" field is sometimes not used properly...
I am glad to see the revised Member Rules, but I wish Paragraph 2 addressed the too-common practice of entitling threads with such useless subjects as:
"Please help"
"Has anyone seen this...?"
"I have a question"
"Here's my new pics"
These "subjects" might have made sense to the thread-starter at the time, but they do the rest of us a real disservice- you can't determine the real subject without opening the thread. Of course, that's the very purpose of the "subject" field- to show us the subject without having to open it.
I don't want to have to open every thread in the Forums I follow, just because other members are too ignorant or lazy to fill out the "Subject" field sufficiently.
