When a member makes a thread, and doesn't make the title clearly/defining - do you change thread titles for the better, or do you not change them at all? How do you feel about having to change thread titles though?
Yes I do it often if the title is not clear enough about the content of the post and/or make sense. I dont have a problem with it unless its repeated many times by the same member.
I used to have a defined template for threads in my Artist Discussion forums so that they would all read "Artist - Current Album (Current Single)" or something to that effect. Even though the instructions were listed in a sticky thread in each forum, 90% of the time, people missed it entirely so that I'd have to edit it to my desires. I finally gave up with that and went with having people post just the artist's name, since that was their natural tendency anyway. Now I only edit for grammatical errors and the like.
Yup...I'm actually OK with it having happened, though, since it's easier on all parties now and the current setup with just the artists' names makes sense.
Yes, I change them half the time to be more descriptive, and it does get annoying but it's not something I will dish warnings out for, only friendly notes to think of better descriptions to use, etc.
