4. Please do not complain to me about clickbait headlines.

I try to use the original title as much as possible because it isn't my job to editorialize or take artistic license in the headline and it also helps other members not to post duplicate videos. I also try to indicate the media source in the thread title so that members can distinguish between bloggers using clickbait titles, comedy, or legitimate mews sources. I also avoid using UPPER CASE words in the thread titles, include summaries and transcripts when available. There is only one other person in this forum that makes that effort.

I know that some people are sensitive to particular words, but if you are that irritated by a thread title it might help to take a break from being online.

Peace.
