Descriptive subjects

[Kent]

It may be a shock to some of us but not everyone wants to read every thread that is on our active forum. With that in mind, please take a moment and stop and ask yourself, "Does my subject communicate what my post is about?"

[#bf0000]Folks, please realize I am only talking about the "Subject" not what one types in the post and in replies. The Subject is what shows up before one opens the thread. [/#bf0000]

[#000080]Some sample subjects that probably could be improved:[/#000080]
[#000080][/#000080]
[#000080]Help[/#000080]
[#000080]What do you think?[/#000080]
[#000080]I'm ticked![/#000080]
[#000080]Jordanelle[/#000080]
[#000080]Strawberry[/#000080]


(If any of the above is an exact match to a subject you have used please do not take offense. I just grabbed whatever came to my mind without looking at any real posts.)

[#bf0000]Better subjects:[/#bf0000]
[#bf0000][/#bf0000]
[#bf0000]Help, I keep getting skunked[/#bf0000]
[#bf0000][/#bf0000]
[#bf0000]What do you think about vertical jigging compared to trolling to catch fish?[/#bf0000]
[#bf0000][/#bf0000]
[#bf0000]Fished Strawberry and got crowded out by other anglers[/#bf0000]
[#bf0000][/#bf0000]
[#bf0000]Any recent reports on Jordanelle?[/#bf0000]
[#bf0000][/#bf0000]
[#bf0000]Strawberry report 2/10/09[/#bf0000]

Also, if one is looking for information they are more likely to receive a reply if they use a subject that matches their request for information.

That said, we would rather you make a post using a subject that could be improved than not making a post at all.

Thanks for listening.
