Do you hate when thread titles are ambiguous and leave you wondering...
...what the hell they are about?
I must admit it can bother me.
Do you feel you're being used like a $10 you-know-what-I-mean as you click to see what it's about? Do you feel the thread starter is being selfish in their pursuit of views and responses?
Should the use of ... be banned?
Can I get a witness? Or should I just take my meds?

I find your entire post somewhat ambiguous.
Are you saying you hate ambiguous posters... threads... and that we should have an ambiguous police...and that you're a ten dollar something...or that you been a 10 dollar something... or that you've been with a 10 dollar something... or that... I don't know... you're thread is way too ambiguous... we need to get the mods to come in and clean it up.

Could he be more vague?
Could the thread be more vague/ambiguous?
Is "..." supposed to mean something (in which case, shouldn't it be "...."?) or is it an elipsis? If the latter, why should it be [BANNED]?
What is a "you-know-what-I-mean"? If it's what I think you mean, shouldn't it cost a bit more than $10? Or is that the point?
I think the meds might be a good idea. Or did you mean "mods"?

Well I meant for it to be sorta ambiguous in the spirit of the subject. I didn't want to try and influence people's opinion, but would like to hear what they think. You know, valid points, etc.

The "you-know-what-I-mean" would be a $10 whore. Yes a whore should cost more than $10 so my point was that you feel really cheap for clicking on the thread.

It might have been helpful if you stated that at the beginning?
Maybe it's me. I don't seem to be getting into the spirit of the thread. Sorry, I don't mean to . I can be quite blonde at times.

Some of us find that to be more of a peeve than others.

Hello everyone. This is my first time to have a thread in Forum Feedback and Support. It is indeed a proud moment.
Any regulars that hang here I might not know?

I wonder if this thread is going to take a little trip around the forum?
Next stop: Books or Bargains?
[only mods can read] Need a thread title change here. "Wondering" to "wandering"? [/only mods can read]

Are you guys trying to find a new place to pad or something? Four back-to-back posts... the "edit" button is there for a reason.
I usually clear up vague thread titles because I know how much it annoys me to go into a vaguely-titled thread and have the thread be something that I was not at all interested in reading. [BANNING] folks who make thread titles is a wee bit over-the-top, though.

Who are you calling “you guys”? Is this a continuation of the ambiguous theme?
I couldn’t care less about my post count, so you can’t be talkin’ to me.
