Choosing a thread title / saving members time?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Choosing a thread title / saving members time?

Post by UKJ »

It's always been a bugbear of mine over many forums. People who post cryptic titles to get views, rather that post WTF a thread is about. Please, give us a clue, so we don't our waste time. CEO is taking a while to load just now. Please don't waste your fellow members time. I'd guess, 95% of people do post relevant titles, just a tiny minority don't.

Maybe titles only - no body. Make CEO like Twitter w/a lot less characters :)

Agreed, a good/accurate title is very helpful. However, we don't have any rules about formatting them.

LoL. There's Twitter apps that give you hash tag suggestions after you write your tweet.

Or you could think for yourself ? What is the subject of the post? If you don't know/aren't sure, then maybe you should read your post again...
Or for only US$10, send me your post and I will suggest a title :popcorn:
