Forums Now Have A Clickbait Sounding Topic Title?

Until It Is Removed Perhaps I should Write Like This?

Forum Software Enforces It Somehow. Buzzfeed Here I Come!

 

Are we having another noodle UFO incident again?

 

No, try making a new thread, it'll make each word capitalised. Logically it's just a mistake, I can't see the rationale for it.

 

AROWX, QUICK! NOW'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE!

 

The question is, will it also start chopping off the last few words so you have to guess what the thread is actually about?

You'll Never Guess The One Shocking Reason That Forum Admins Decided To...

My guess would be a forum software update changing a setting?

 

Hippo Opened a New Topic With CamelCase, Find Out What Happens Next!

 

I Am Complaining About This Flagrant Abuse Of The Mother Tongue.

 

Florida Man Eaten Alive By Own Grandmother Who Is Alligator

 

Forum Administrators Hate Him For This

 

obviously this thread has been generated by the open AI algorithm:
https://www.wired.com/story/ai-text-generator-too-dangerous-to-make-public/

 

What about thread like:
"Need Help",
"Help"
Click bites, or laziness?

But To Be Honest, I Do Sometimes Create Thread With Such Title Myself.

 

All Threads Can Now Be Like ArowX Threads! You Won't Believe How!

 

But such contents requires special skills If that matters at all in click bite threads.

 

For some reason the first comment in this post did not load for me and it made it seem like a bunch of more respected longtime forum users had all huffed paint or something.

Now that I can read the top comment it all makes sense, but I did have a good laugh to myself for a bit there thinking I was the only adult here for a moment.

 

Interestingly, it appears that words in brackets or parentheses are forced lower case.

 

Actually, I kinda like the idea, especially if it was made to avoid people creating threads with titles in full capital letters.

 

Speaking of which it's eating acronyms (eg "AI" becomes "Ai").

 

Ah, now we know why this "feature" was implemented: to avoid titles fully in capital letters.

 

Hmm, lets talk about Ecs, or Dots, or Gpu, or Fps, or Rpg, Mmo etc. Sound / looks super cool, isn't it? Does filter exists for such abbreviations? Or we will write C.P.U., P.S.U. etc. now?

 

Apparently the users are so stupid they can't even type a topic
For me I actually blushed because I feel somehow it's my fault. Also it doesn't work for SEO any more if webmasters are wondering. Google designed that out last year.

 

I wouldn't take full blame on yourself. It would have to be responsibility of all mods / admins, if that were to be executed.
But I don't think it specific rule to topic names was enforced, to keep them tidy and meaningful enough. At least not always. Or I haven't noticed.

Anyway, can you elaborate a bit more on google SOE algorithm changes?

 

Oh, I just picked up few titles from my recent topics.

Older (normal) way

• Google designed that out last year
• Standard Assets 2018 - let us know what you think!
• Unity support for the glTF format by default (to replace Collada and FBX)
• Tech planning: What will Unity 2018.4 be when it arrives?
• NavMeshPath.GetCornersNonAlloc() is confusing
• WebGL: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
  
• Support for Screen.safeArea on notch iPhone X like Android devices

New (awful) way

• Help I Have An Unity Build Error I Need Help Bcause This Is My First Game
• Far Cry New Dawn: Technical Things Noticed While Playing
• Ai Based On A Finite State Machine Unity
• Pc Build Question
• What Color Function Tex2d() Return When The Uv Coordinate Is 0 0 (empty Uv)?

I just realizing now, how the new way is such bad to read.
It also takes out valuable information out of context.
Imagine 3rd line out of older way, to have new way formatting.
And discussed earlier AI, 3rd line in new way is as Ai.
And how we will see topics like 5th line of older way?
Instead
NavMeshPath.GetCornersNonAlloc() is confusing
will be
Navmeshpath.getcornersnonalloc() Is Confusing

I am not convinced at all, that new way is any good, for Hi Tech Forum.
In fact, it makes me quite upset and is annoying.

Soon we will see context of threads, with written thread title formatting, for normally abbreviated and capitalized words, like Seo.

PS.
What apple will say to Ipad, Iphone, etc?;p

 

I'm sure sanity will prevail when Unity staff frown at incorrect titles they can't correct

 

Korean Unity users be like "What?"

(Because Seo is actually a family name there)

 

Speaking of which has anyone thought to poke one of the staff members?

Edit: Whoa. Someone managed to create a recent thread without capitalizing all the words.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/email-notifications-from-unity.662458/

 

Now that you mention it, me too: https://forum.unity.com/threads/deprecated-projects.662668/

 

We had thread also in Meta Forum Discussion section.
https://forum.unity.com/threads/testing-capitals-in-title.661591/
By same OP
Maybe someone from officials did read, or have been poked?

 

It is fixed now I will no longer start fires in the name of the Mother Tongue.
