Flamebait Thread Titles

[Phony Moderate]

What thread titles would be likely to cause a flamewar? Give some examples.

Here's a few....

"Why I support Israel"
"Let's discuss Feminism"
"Ron Paul wrote racist newsletters"
"X should no longer be a moderator"
"Opinion of opebo"
"Mitt Romney isn't that good" (or some variation on that)

[Yelnoc]

I believe the title of this thread would count.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

'Unban controversial poster x'
anything to do with the Trayvon Martin situation

etc.

And yet the first five wouldn't be flamebait at all if we simply made Paultardism a bannable offense.

I have some sympathy for thread titles with punch, and do that myself sometimes. But I prefer that the punch not be clearly listing to one side or the other of a controversy that goes beyond the content of the news, and threads should be tied to some news or article. Putting up a thread just to vent is self indulgent.

"New Moderation Policy - immediate effect"

[BaldEagle1991]

"Lil' Wayne and Nickelback are awesome"

There I did it.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

I actually have a 'Discuss feminism in this thread' thread. If people starting sh**tting in it I'm going to run it with an iron fist I swear to God.

"Lil' Wayne and Nickelback are awesome"

There I did it.

That thread would be grounds for banning.
