Always , just like you

I agree with Slick Pan and WhiteCliffs. It takes very little effort to make your title convey what you’re post is about. You can even do it with a very short title if you put a minimal amount of thought into it.

If the title is something vague and especially if it is from a user who I know is a drama queen, I’m just scrolling right by.

Hmmmm...hahaha

I look just to see.
If it said…. What is the best body grip,,,, I would pass
Everyone knows its duke

LOL

Even after 20+ years here I occasionally get surprised. I really had thought that every possible thing that could be complained about on here, had been complained about before. And then I opened this thread.

Yep

Wouldn't be so bad if so many of them were actually intresting. Sometimes I wonder if people think that they just need to post "something " but some must like it because theres always several responses no matter what topic is. But it sure seems like the traffic here is slowing down. I dont know if we are running out of intresting topics or the ones that have something intresting to post are just getting fewer.

I don't belong to many forums , matter of fact I only belong to one other and posters on there always make the title of their thread clear about their subject. I enjoy trapping and it has been part of my life for a very long time. I would say a lot of the posters on Trapperman make their thread topic so one can understand and choose to read it or move on without opening it. But others well, why waste peoples time. It's like the posters want to be a drama queen and be recognized. For me it seems pretty childish.

LOL Rookie?

Sorry , you will get the hang of it !
Welcome to the club.

It is what it is, I accept that.
But .... when searching for a pertinent topic to address a question, a clearly labeled post topic is extremely helpful.
That is what I mostly miss regarding the abbreviated methods.

I started the thread has anyone used one? And I had a picture in the thread of what I wanted people's opinions on that item. It wasnt click bait, it was a question of an item. You cant place pictures in the title that I know of to have a full view. I guess next time ill title it "I am wanting people's opinions on a lighter that looks like a light saber that advertises as it can melt cans and get up to 1800 degrees, just curious if anyone has used one in person and if they are worth the money."

In the thread ill place a picture with the brand, and say looking for gift ideas, these good or bad.

Nobody cares yet 2 pages of opinions

We all care about our own opinions

as usual with most posts of a controversial nature on trapperman the jokes abound and the poster is chastised for his post because the poster speaks out and does not fall in line. I am correct in my post and I have proven it. That's good enough for me so carry on.

You also could have titled it “Has Anyone Used A Lighter Like This?” While I did not click on your original post because nothing specifically interested me, I would have clicked on a post as in my example of a thread title. I use a lighter quite a bit.

There might be rainy days when I cant do much outside and I would click on an ambiguous thread title - but most days I have enough things to do to otherwise occupy my time.

I could have, however im on the man 5 mins here 10 mins there so I like quick and easy. If I miss out because I use simple titles because you passed up my thread and could have great advice and experience then I guess its my fault and loss. Im not on here crying about how no one post on my threads. Not every post is for everyone, most on here pass the thread up if it does not Interest them or they have nothing to add. Complaining about "click bait" and the lack of words/info in a title is more so click bait then asking a simple question the simplest way possible. Like you I have other things that occupy my life so its the reasoning of time for me not click bait.

I remember one you started years ago about snaring wolves or something. Turned out it was all bullarkey to get peoples attention. I think I said you can still go hang them in your garden or something......LOL.
Have you turned a new leaf or something?
