Alternative to "click bait" rule: block threads
#12
RE: Alternative to "click bait" rule: block threads
This is dumb.

We have already altered literally like 15 threads. You probably didn't even notice.

I don't know, for the life of me, how this is even remotely controversial. No one gets punished. We just change the name, drop a speed bump or a PM, and move on.

The rule is maybe not well named. Your thread title can be as click-baity as you can possibly make it so long as it gives us an idea of what the thread is about.

Having another group that as far as I can tell is no different from ignore would be adversarial and unnecessary.

This isn't a huge deal. Calm down. No one's free speech rights are being hampered by staff asking to have your thread titles be descriptive. Jesus Christ on a cupcake.
"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
