Motion to ban the use of elipsis in thread titles.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis

It's just thread-bait and it's highly annoying. The deals forum seems to have a good way of streamlining thread titles with only the most necessary information. Why can't everyone be so concise and to the point in their thread titles?

As king of the ellipsis, I object! Just kidding, I do not use it in thread titles, just my posts...

90% of people would have no clue what you're talking about without the Wikipedia link. Good call.

I had a boss once that would end all his e-mails like this............................

I love the elipsis... its like the best ____ ever...

Not only is this completely insignificant, but making a rule like that and then attempting to enforce it would be a drain on our already limited mod staff.

We can't even get people to post things like sales or their trade lists in the right forums when they're on the main ing list of forums. What makes you think that people would follow, much less agree to, a rule like that that would require them to change the way they write their posts?

 

[RAMSTORIA]

this is trivial, unnecessary, and just kinda stupid. theres no way a rule like this could be enforced effectively.

No, but I did just find it on Google Books and maybe I will read it now.

I'm a big user of elipsis in posts but not titles. I agree with this ban!

Yes cause 90% of people here didn't pass 5th grade english.

 

[GizmoGC]

Hmmm... I.... Agree....
