Post titles should include a description of what is happening in the video

This is a rule that we are actually going to start enforcing. We like to be as hands off as possible and occasionally we will just let things slide but there are too many low effort single/double word post titles happening.

There are many reasons for this. I will list a few just off the top of my head just to show that this isn't just some pointless arbitrary thing. First off, not everyone who visits this site wants to see all of the content. They would like to know what they are about to watch before they actually watch it. Second, it makes posts much easier to search for. We want to avoid recent reposts as much as possible and part of that is people actually being able to check before they post. I always do a quick keyword check before I post and obviously it helps tremendously if posts are titled properly. A third reason, the forum just looks better without a bunch of nondescript titles everywhere.

Hopefully this is not too much to ask. Thanks guys!

It's not a Title if it's a Description...Those aren't interchangeable words.

That’s what the titles for… to be a short description of what the video is. What do you think the purpose of a title is, if it isn’t to tell you what you’re about to watch?

The title of the post can definitely be a description of what happens in the video. It's a very simple concept.
