What about the ones like "Has anybody worked for.... MSC?"

Excellent point, Sandra Sue. It would simplify things if posters identified the MSC when inquiring about a specific MSC. Any attempt to identify the purpose of a thread would be appreciated.
Ah, if we could only organize the rest of the world; we could be a lot happier.

It was posted in General Chat, as a Topic about the Vagueness of some thread titles, and then when Meta was created, the mod moved it to Meta because I guess it was viewed as a good topic of discussion about forum meta, asking posters to be specific in their thread titles.

There are a couple up right now that are good examples. "Ooops." "Conundrum." "Oh Come On."
You don't know the slightest bit what they are about until you open them and read.
I think she's suggesting threads should be less like "They Don't Pay" and more like "MSC Name-Nonpayment."

I'm planning on adding more specific title guidelines that appear when a topic is posted. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Here's a draft:
'Title Suggestions: Please be specific. Clearly state the topic of your post. Additionally, include the company or assignment that you are writing about, if applicable. If there is a recent topic that is very similar, please post to that thread instead of creating a new topic. Thank you! '
Maybe it's too short? Perhaps it will be better than nothing.

Short and sweet is good. It'll be hard enough getting people to read it - and adhere to it - anyway.
There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
Jacob,
When asking the poster to specify the company name or assignment, it might be best to add that, "of course, do not name the MS company and the client in the same thread." Newcomers appear to need all the gentle reenforcement of that, to them, novel idea that we can manage.

I don't think it is too short. I would just add an example such as BBird suggested
Okay, I'm going to have to disagree. I love the unknown/the added suspense/the element of surprise in the "Ooops" "Conundrum" "Oh Come On" titles. They're examples of great attention-getters and I'm a sucker every time. Maybe I have too much time on my hands, but, hey, I admire creativity.

It's hard to do a Search using the Search feature when you don't know which threads contain useful, applicable information to your question, because the topic titles are "Oops" "Conundrum" "Oh Come On."

I guess I wouldn't expect the "search" function to necessarily find something "useful" or "applicable" in these threads. To me, they are meant to entertain......and, admittedly, I am entertained.

The Search feature is a little wonky for me. I have tried across multiple devices and multiple Search parameters and it pretty much pulls up everything posted over the past few weeks, regardless of whether they contained my Search Words or not.
Have found some interesting threads, though.

I do not like the "mystery" topics where you have to click through to see what it's about. I'm mostly here to see if I can help someone with something. While I enjoy the anecdotes when I have time, I'd rather know what the thread is about before I click so if time is short I can skip it. Also, if a topic is interesting I may want to find it again and it's hard to remember the topic title, especially now when it does not appear on every post like it used to (please bring that back, just make it non-changeable except at the OP level) which might help me remember it.
we don't like it when schedulers send out emails saying "exciting new shop" then click through to find out it's a $5 burger shop where the exciting part is you get to hold the onions. We shouldn't post "exciting" mystery titles either just to get people to open the thread. Just say what it is.
