    If you find a thread title that does not match the content of the thread then please report the first post and give your reason why you think it is misleading. The moderator will review it and edit the thread title if necessary.

    So what's the policy? You can or can't have an obscure title?

    We don't legislate for every single thing that happens on this site. Where there aren't ruled we would expect members to use common sense & create threads/post accordingly.

    Incredibly annoying I'm sure to have someone change what you've written.

    probably less irritating than the collective sum of people manipulated into clicking a less than interesting thread
