Should we do something about flashy forum topic titles?

@Atrate

What are the others’ opinions on such topics? Should they somehow be renamed? Or just have e.g. the emojis removed from them? Or am I just completely out of touch and it’s a me issue?

I agree:

Truly Disposable, Fully Ephemeral DVMs in Qubes OS. The simplest and most effective anti-forensic solutions without running dom0 in amnesic-live mode

I thought about opening a Feedback > Forum Feedback topic about the long community guide titles, but I would like to bring this here first. I don’t like the long titles with emojis, it clutters the index of new posts and I can’t help but see them, so I end up muting the topic. Am I the only one? If so, just ignore

When I wrote that, I thought too that this needed some kind of agreement between users, not just renaming titles. That is not the first time “flashy titles” have appeared, but the issue here is the systematic use. Anyway, it’s already stated in the Discussion guidelines that we should be concise.

@kuhbs

If he doesn’t want to use his own website / github, can’t we provide a space for him to do that here somehow?

This is already the case:

• Search results for '@linuxuser1 in:wiki #guides' - Qubes OS Forum
• there is a “Featured Topic” option in our profile’s preferences
