altrus, I know it's a pain. But the onus is on players to tag their posts appropriately (see how here - but of course, everyone's read them already right? Wink )

Mods will tidy up - but really, it takes a lot of time and we'd like to have a chance to play along too, rather than spend it all retagging posts.

Good examples of tagging: here and here. Subject should let people know the nature of what they are about to read, remember you can use the subject description to add extra detail in order to keep the title succinct (cool and edgy).

Bad examples (yeah, I'm evil Twisted Evil ): here - we all know that it's going to be a better version of the trailer, but newbs won't, which leads to multiple thread posts when someone new comes across the same thing and can't find a relevant post. Better would be:

[UPDATE]Cloverfield Trailer 2
Alternative version, possibly clearer

Better still, it could have been added into a thread that already mentioned the new trailer, so that all new trailer discussion is located in one neat thread.

Another bad one here. Could have been something like:

[SPEC]Government responsibility for monster
Could the events of Cloverfield have been caused by government experiments?

The clearer the tagging and titling the better the response will be to your thread (it's true, try it). Don't forget that if you posted the thread then you can edit the title of your thread yourself just as you can edit the body.

I've gone through and tagged/clarified the first two pages of recent threads. Please tag your posts when you start new threads. Thanks for the handy examples, Mikeyj.
