I agree that having too many click bait titles is very annoying, but in the end we're serving the forum, and if a new not too essential rule causes an endless stream of griping and complaints and sarcastic comments and reports, it's just not doing what it is supposed to accomplish.

So the policy here is to cater to the least common denominator. I guess that's a good formula if you want to maximize quantity. Quality, not so much. I'm sure Facebook has a similar policy.

Oh for fuck's sake. There has been lengthy discussion (both by the forum at large and the staff themselves) about the rule - a massively disproportionate amount considering the gravity of the situation, or lack thereof in fact. It was tried out, it didn't do what it was intended to do and was causing issues whilst also proving ineffective. Therefore it was changed to forum etiquette rather than an actual rule. That's literally all that happened.
"Cowardly". Gimme a fucking break.
