Or perhaps like a box of chocolates?

I thought this was going to be about clicking-through to NSFW OPs or something. You're bitching about people making your neffing less efficient? If it's that big of a deal then

See what I did there? You see that? I made a message title that explained just what the topic was about. I got half way through the post and then realized after my fifth F Bomb that this thread was actually a rant. So to further inform ATOT, my topic summary included "rant". Why is this so fucking hard for you guys?

Out of the ten most recent topics, two of them actually have informative message titles. Its fucking annoying. Can we work on this as a whole? Its not difficult to do, its saves people at work a lot of fucking time, and you don't look like a fucking douche for baiting people into clicking on your link.

And don't give me that "then don't view the thread" and "no one is making you click on the link" bullshit. You know how the internet works. You know the characteristics of people that go to websites like this, we are bound to click on some of the obligatory message titles; that's the whole reason you write "Simple Question" and "NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" in the fucking first place.

We are better than 4chan (everyone is better than 4chan) and all the other fucking forums with five year olds on them fucking around at home because they can't get their lard asses out of their chairs and they are biologically unable to masturbate without breaking for a few minutes in between faps so they troll.

Work on it. Fuck.

If I take the trouble to craft five or six misleading thread titles in a row, will you promise to leave forever?
