Subject request (re: "X" is a Cub?)

[Southpaw191679666239]

Could everyone please use some kind of prefix for when posting speculation or trying to start a discussion? Abreu a Cub? leads me to believe I'm going to see a link or a snippit of a rumor or something that leads me to believe a deal is close.

 

Those kind of subjects should read:

 

DISCUSS: Abreu in RF?

 

.. or something similar. Also threads that say "RUMOR: (PLAYER) to the Cubs??" should not be started if it's the poster's rumor and no one else's, especially if you're just looking for discussion.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of healthy discussion, but don't post mis-leading Subject lines, please.

I agree. I hate misleading headlines. I fell for it too when i clicked on Abreu a Cub.

This should just be stickied at the top.

We do ask that rumors be clarified as such in the subject title when it can be misleading, and when mod's see one that is causing confusion, we try to edit the subject titles ourselves. We certainly aren't fans of misleading headlines either.

I wasn't calling you out on it specifically.. it's a trend that has been happening in the past couple weeks, and I finally had to post on it.

The only rumor that I've fallen for so far was Pierre, and that wasn't an NSBB member's fault, it was rumor-monger Bruce Levine.

Well consarn it! I was looking forward to reading that post - I thought something good was (maybe) in the works.

 

I reckon that was pretty stupid of me, I guess.

 

P.S.: No, I don't know why I decided to southernize my post.

Abreu was a Cubs.....Winston Abreu that is.... :lol:

question marks mean it's not a fact. I don't see the problem.
