Please make your thread titles descriptive!

This is in the rules, but knowing nobody reads the rules... I'll say it again here.

PLEASE make your thread titles descriptive. Don't post titles like:

"quick question"
"help me"
"what should i do"
"noob question"
"couple of ???"
"confused"

You get the point. NOBODY knows what your problem is by your title, and the experienced (and often busy) members of this forum usually won't even bother opening such a thread. When they see something that they can help with, they'll open it and help.

If you don't know what the problem is, then at least TRY to guess. At least mention the area of the car that is giving you problems!

"engine stumbling"
"brakes squeaking"
"vtec fluid low"

Things like that. At least people will have some idea of what you're looking for!



And more importantly... when future members search, they're going to need a bunch of search results that show what the thread is about... not 3 dozen "HELP ME!" threads that they have to sort through!


This has been happening more than ever. It's going to get to the point where the staff will simply start deleting threads.

I also hate thread titles like these:

"Don't you hate when............."
"So today I ..........."
"I went to the bathroom this morning and..........."

I agree, if people would use more descriptive titles, and take more care while posting their questions, they are less likely to get posts like "search noob" or "RTFM". I have found that if I put in put in the time to be specific in my posts and try to give the most information possible, other members are more willing to put in the time to post helpful responses to my questions about tow hooks or my V-tech, VVTi VANOS or ZTEC fluid.

Using coherent sentences doesn't hurt either
