To be fair, it is possible to make your thread title enticing and at the same time representative of what's inside.
For example:
"Guess who Trump Kicked off the National Security Counsel" would not violate the rule. It is enticing, and click-baity, but it absolutely tells us what this thread is about.
-however-
"What Trump did now..." (first line of post: "...will piss you off. He kicked the Chairman of the JCS off the NSC.") would violate the rule. Other than it being about something Trump related (i.e. 91.6% of recent threads), we don't know what the thread topic is.
Also, there is literally no punishment for this--we change the thread title, drop a speedbump, and everyone's on their way. The only time anything could come out of it is if you continue to make thread after thread with clickbait/vague titles even after staff has asked you not to. And even then, I don't think any member of staff would ever vote for a ban. Verbals and maybe an official if you're being an ass about it.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
