My thread did not include any of the following and yet it was anchored. What gives?

LINK

. The subject of the thread is too short and not descriptive enough. We often see users just put one word or sometimes two words. Even 3-4 words can be too short. These are immediately anchored. Again, be descriptive. The subject should contain the point of your thread.

2. The subject of the thread is cut off. This is a problem that has been popping up a lot lately. A user will post a subject such as:

"The key to winning the game is..."

or

"I am about to get torn to shreds but I think that"

For whatever reasons, the user cut the subject off and is requiring that the reader click on the thread to find out what the point of the thread is. We would rather the main idea of the thread to be inside the subject.

3. THE SUBJECT OR POST IS IN ALL CAPS. These are immediately anchored. All caps are hard to read and comes across as shouting.

4. There is already a thread on the info that you are posting. This is self-explanatory. We don't need 10 threads on the board announcing what Robert Smith just said about LSU. We usually keep the thread with the best subject, and anchor/delete the repeat threads.

5. The topic has been beaten to death. Sometimes, topics have run their course and need to just fade away.

6. A thread has gone off topic. If the replies inside a thread have nothing to do with the main idea in the subject, we often anchor.

Exception to these rules: Good morning threads, Lunch Threads, Late Night Snack Threads and approved IM thread.

Hopefully, we can start improving the readability of TD.com by following the guidelines inside this thread.

Admins don't want the word daily in the title. There was a long throwdown about it here:

Today/Daily




You don't have to make your case to me. I was just trying to help you out.

ETA: The admins state their reasoning in the linked thread. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it is what it is.

Starting the thread with lOT Workout Crew" is the same as saying "Workout Board:" IMO. I don't think they like that either.

I'm sure there's a method to the madness. But I don't know what that is.

"The List" of things admins don't want in 2015:

Nitro
Baw
Golf thread
Workout threads
Non sanctioned IM threads
Hand bras
Oil layoff threads


Let's stick to these rules gentleman, and everything'll be as right as rain.

All of the golf threads on the MSB are on topic and not anchored.

Stop crying. You are really starting to act like a 12 year old little girl.

I just got some 690.cb's in with s400 shafts and z cord grips. Another poster here also put z cords on my 3w, hybrid, 52, and wedge of sand. I plan to roar into LaTour Saturday riding an equipment high the likes of which can't be comprehended. I'll also be sporting some fancy arse Adidas pants I just bought. It's gonna be awesome. We're talking scorched Earth here.


What all this really means is that we appreciate the end of golf prohibition and will do better in the future. , Fred
