Short thread titles make searching for threads a nightmare

[skybluekings]

There seems to be an influx or new thread with titles that tell nothing of the thread itself, just giving an idea of what the thread is related to.

Titles such as
"Saturday"
"What if..."
"SWP"
"Canales"
"Terry"

and the list goes on and on.

it might not look like a bother on the surface but think of having to do a search for threads in the future.
There could be eg, over 20 "Saturday" thread or "What if..." or "SWP" threads.

Do users now have to go threw every single one of those threads just to find the one they want?
Why is it so hard to just give a short topic description in the title?

EG, today there is now "Canales". Couldn't that title be "Canales signs for Real Madrid"...because that's what the thread is about.

Is this an attention seeking method to get thread view counts higher? If so, then that's really juvenile.

Spot on. Made this point ages ago and was told to stop trying to be the thread police.

Worst one of all is:-

"Is it just me or......."
