A descriptive and unambiguous post title helps other readers and visitors to understand your situation faster.
Using a good title is not mandatory , but strongly encouraged.
The title should include the name of the involved moderator/administrator, the website or community name, and a summary of the happenings in a few words.
Examples
Here are some examples for good, mediocre, bad and terrible post titles.
Whether you spell it “administrator”/“moderator” (long) or “admin”/“mod” (short) makes no difference for the quality of a title.
Both long and short forms are interchangeable.
Good titles:
- “Exposing Bbb23 — Hostile Wikipedia administrator repeatedly violates multiple policies.”
- “Wikipedia administrator Bbb23 revoked my talk page access for a simple, formal question.”
- “Wikipedia admin Bbb23 instantly blocked Aron Manning for legitimate criticism.”
- “Jason Scott from ArchiveTeam — Verbal abuse, thanklessness, devaluation of prolific editors, sheer hostility.”
- “RobertJ from MozillaZine forums closehammers legitimate threads for no reason.”
- “Ani625 from Reddit deleted my legitimate posts in /r/AppleSucks and neglects my request for an explanation.”
Mediocre titles:
- “Bbb23 blocked me today!”
- “Jason Scott treated me like shit!”
- “Jason Scott blocked me out of nowhere!”
- “RobertJ closed my thread!”
- “Ani625 deletes posts!”
- “Blocked for a simple comment!”
Bad titles:
- “Bbb23 can't handle this!” (doesn't mention what exactly.)
- “Jason Scott!” (only mentions a plain name)
- “Bbb23 from Wikipedia!” (did what?)
- “Ani625 did THIS!” (what did he?)
Terrible titles:
- “Look at this!”
- “WTF!”
- “What an idiot!”
- “Shittiest admin ever!”
Hopefully, this guide could help you composing posts with better titles.
