Alternative to "click bait" rule: block threads
#3
RE: Alternative to "click bait" rule: block threads
Well, that's another problem with this. The amount of reports that the staff receive could significantly increase. It's a lot of extra work, and I just don't see the benefit personally.

For example, if they needed five reports before they altered a title, that involves an awful lot of work behind the scenes to link that all together. Each report requires filling in paperwork, whether or not anything was done with it.

And because this is all so subjective, people could be reporting titles left right and center.

I suppose if someone makes some threads you like and some you don't, just ignore their stupid ones. I'm not getting why it matters if there is more explanation in the post... I mean, that's always going to be the case. If it's an obvious baiting silly title, then it's obvious you can ignore it.

Plus the staff then have to discuss how they are going to alter the title... which is again somewhat infringing on free speech, unnecessarily in my opinion.
Feel free to send me a private message.
