This is exactly how I feel about the rule itself. The only concern I have is how other people are reacting to it.
Personally I think it would be more useful to have a rule against misleading thread titles but not against vague, ambiguous titles.
So say if I start a thread titled "This is about God." And it's about my uncle Bob, that's a rule breaker.
But if I start a thread called "He's a serial killer...." and it turns out to be a sideways look at the parts of the bible where god kills people, and is talking about god that's just a method of interesting expression, in my opinion.
I personally don't click on vague thread titles unless I have time to waste then I'll go back to the titles that were vague because I'll think fuck it, let's finally look at what that thread was about. But it will be at the back of my to do list.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
