There are far to many crappy subject titles being made. When you look down the list of topics it's hard to know what many of them are about. If your subject title doesn't reflect accurately what you are posting about I'm going to start calling for them to be deleted and the users who created them banned. Clean up your subject titles please.

So that means we can't do:
"WTFFFFFF"
Anymore?

Technically, we never could. Its in the rules, if you read them that is.

Give your topic a good title! This one is often overlooked. "WTF?" gives no clue as to what your topic will be about.

So if I want to make a rant about cheese, now I'd have to post "WTF cheese" instead of just plain what the fuck?

Well, you seem to be on a roll with making these new rules the past few days. Seriously, why not just edit the rules or put them all in one topic?

I'll have to admit I have used subject titles to draw attention before even if it has nothing to do with the actual post.

I mean, is it okay to leave the potential reader with some sort of mystery? Such as "Work was weird today..."?

Are things like "Congrats <user/>" ok? For all I know, the user in question could've just given birth and posted pictures of it.

If you're going to post something serious, yes...Otherwise, would be stupid to see a topic titled : "Work was weird today..." and inside see a post like "Because you touch yourself at night! lol!" or something stupid...

If the topic will be about something odd that happened to you on work, that title would work... Otherwise, the topic would be deleted and the maker banned...

That would be fine, because the reader will know they are going to be reading about someone's weird work experience. If it was just "Weird" that would leave everyone totally clueless.

We are, but these things take time. So in the meantime I'm reminding people what is expected of them.

I can see them trying to get a certain level of inteligence on NG.

.....

To be honest, it's the stupidness and "funiness" that comes out of it that makes Newgrounds.

Well apparently we're going from "The funnest place on the internet" to "Family Friendly for all flash users."
Which to me totally blows, but what can you do.

I really hate titles that only have a single word.
E.g. '' huh? ''
Another step in the quest for Newgrounds to be spamless.

Please stop the Rickrolling!

Penicorns?

Besides, asking someone to elaborate in a topic title as to what the topic is about only makes sense. Thats why its called "SUBJECT."
