As the sub gets bigger, the mod queue is starting to look like a wall of mystery novels. We’re seeing a ton of posts with titles like "Help Seniors" "Need Suggestions" "Regarding college"

While we love the mystery in a thriller movie, it’s making the sub kind of a pain to navigate.

Why is it annoying?

  • We’re lazy (in a good way): Most people scroll past vague titles. If you actually want an answer or want people to see your cool find, tell us what it is in the title!
  • Searching is a nightmare: If someone has the same problem next week and searches the sub, "Help Seniors" isn't going to help them find your post.
  • Save us a click: Our mods shouldn't have to click into every single post just to figure out what the topic even is.

What makes a "Good" title?

A good title should act as a TL;DR of your post. It should include the specific subject, and the core "ask" or "point."

The "Don't Do This" vs. "Do This"

The "Mystery" Title (Avoid) The "Legend" Title (Do this)
"A question..." "How is the Wi-Fi connectivity in Amber vs. Aquamarine hostels?"
"Placements" "What was the average CTC for Civil during the 2025 placement season?"
"Pragyan" "Where can I find the schedule for the [Specific Event] at Pragyan?"
"Mess food 🤮" "Is it just me or has the food quality at Mega Mess II dropped lately?"
"Admission doubt" "CSAB Query: Chances of getting EEE with [Rank] in the special round?"

What’s the deal moving forward?

We’re not trying to be the "fun police," but we are going to start removing posts that are super vague. If your post gets nuked, don't take it personally—just repost it with a title that actually tells us what’s up.

TL;DR: Use your words! Give us the context in the title so we don't have to play detective.
