| Jan 6, 2016 at 16:41 | comment | added | reirab | @AndresF. Where the problem comes in is that several of them made the "hot network questions" list. For those of us who are software developers, ignoring all SE sites for a few weeks because we haven't seen a movie yet isn't really feasible. | |

Minor grammar fixes; edited for clarity in some places.

| Dec 28, 2015 at 22:53 | comment | added | Andres F. | +6.02 x 10^23 to this question. The despoilering level in some questions is absolutely ridiculous. I sometimes wonder if people re-read the titles to see if they make sense. The best way to avoid being spoiled about recently released movies you deeply care about is to avoid scifi.se until you've seen them! | |

Personally think acronyms alienates content from casual users. Prefer to spell things out whenever possible.

| Dec 27, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | alexwlchan | This question is too spoilery. Now I know the site is full of vague unhelpful titles before I’ve had a chance to be annoyed at them myself. It should be retitled to Will we ever do this thing?. | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 21:41 | comment | added | user31178 | Spoiler alerts go at the beginning! | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 21:38 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | @CreationEdge - I specifically meant titles that MAY be spoilery. Like mentioning that Ray is a Force User in a title. Or that she fought Kylo Ren (spoiler!) | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 21:10 | comment | added | user31178 | Yes, those types of titles are terrible, and I've edited a couple of them as soon as I saw them. No reason to wait, but also no reason to make them spoiler-y, just better-crafted. | |

Spelling, formatting

| Dec 24, 2015 at 17:51 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | Apropos nothing, ignoring HNQ is the second best way to avoid wasting tons of time, behind blacklisting TVTropes on your PC | |
| Dec 24, 2015 at 17:33 | comment | added | user1027 | @Ixrec A bit of user CSS will hide the HNQ. I think there's a meta question here where I outlined how to do that. | |
| Dec 24, 2015 at 15:44 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | @Ixrec - Easy. When I know spoilers are possible, I just ignore NHQ | |
| Dec 24, 2015 at 15:34 | comment | added | Ixrec | It's important to point out that there is no comprehensive technological method to block TFA content, even in the narrow context of the SE network. For example, ignoring tags does nothing about HNQs with spoiler titles. | |

| Dec 24, 2015 at 14:34 | comment | added | phantom42 | Based on the discussions here, here, and here, I'd rather just see better crafted titles in general - regardless of when it is. | |
