Rename That Thread!
« on: November 22, 2013, 11:52:57 AM »
I'll start off with:

maganatiles -Should be MagnaTiles
http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=33675

Bluebird: Now you can pay bills that don`t take credit card with a credit card
Should/could be- Bluebird, Vanilla Reloads, and Gift Card Discussion
Even if not renamed, the least that can be done is remove the irritating backwards apostrophe.

Essentially thread titles should be written properly.

Maybe every bad thread name should be put in the "proper grammar" thread.

Why just ridicule it when you can have it fixed?

I guess RTM would do a better job then just posting it in this thread.

If they were all named "Properly" we wouldn't be able to differentiate.
If you don't care why would you comment?

It doesn't do a better job. I think it's also a good idea to have a little discussion what to rename things or a place to point people to when they can't find a thread.

Lol!

I think the Bluebird thread should be renamed "Help, the ATM in Walmart isn't working!" :P

+1 This irritates me to no end. Would love if those threads, and numerous ones like them, would be fixed. Great thread!

Rename this thread “I have too much spare time” and then move it to JS.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

This thread should probably have the "US Mint" pasrt removed from the title.
