Please Read-Regarding thread title information. - Guild Wars Forums

Hello there.

Recently we have been seeing an increase in thread titles which give no clue on the included content. For example;

A thread questioning the functions of the inventory system should not be titled 'A question'. Rather, it should be named 'I need help with the inventory' or 'Troubles with the inventory'.

This also applies to general discussion - not just question threads.

The main reason for this is that it can be hard/impossible to identify the content of the post by reading a title such as 'Question Answer Please' or 'A question'. By displaying a clear name that connects with the thread, viewers would much easier be able to distinguish if they have the knowledge to answer that thread or make a comment on it.

Just on a side note-Theres no need to shame yourself for asking a question which you personally think is a so called 'Newb Question'. Theres nothing wrong with asking.

Thank you. If you have any questions regarding this, or would like to comment on this matter please do not hesitate to shoot a PM my way.
