For people making threads: Be more specific in titles

[vaalstrum]

Please be more specific in your title. There's no rule against it but when I necro stuff I have noticed this trend. Some people don't know how to use forums effectively, it seems.

Poor titles (examples, not real threads):

• "Help?" / "Problem I have with" / "Cats" : Vague, sometimes describe subject, but not actual topic/problem
  
• "What do you think about..." : (threads that usually ellipses leading into real title, but that is actually just the topic message, please just put it into the title.)
  
• "How do you shoot people?" "Opinions about the cross" : Often confused statements, please phrase better. (like "how do you shoot people?" when it's about photography and "the cross" is just how it's an x mark.)

Great titles (examples, not real threads):

• Long titles are OK : Don't be afraid to make it go to ellipses, but try to concise if you can
  
• Have title be all you need for the response you want if you can if it's simple enough : Description can just be the area where you describe details, pretty self explanatory, right?
  
• At least capitalize the subject of your title : Since other formatting isn't available. Thanks.
  
  There's no real rules about it, but it would be pretty nice if everyone followed this rule. OK that's all I wanted to say! You'll be less misleading if you keep this in mind.

Poor title choice: Brain hurt! Hurt brain!

Good title choice: I have a headache, what should I do?

Why is that so hard for some people?

Wait until you see the thread titles in the "New to Steam" forum.
