I do agree (with Reimann), her thread titles are borderline meaningless.  
Can you guess what any of these threads might be about?

- Bad, bad, bad Comatose mistaken ideas
- BIG, bad bad bad ways to go home (yes, you can go home again!)
- Wait just a dang minute. Bad bad bad Ms. Beck-brain, we gotta talk
- Bad, bad, bad Beck-da-wrek is on (as in dependent on) Goof-o-da-balls. Uh-oh!
- Hey! There’s this thing I really really really love

(And, naturally, Discourse requires a bunch of extra steps to copy text that also happens to be a link. )

> Some of her topics are definitely more towards the mundane and pointless side of the forum, which is fine. For example, her post on “winning” has a vague title, but it’s a very vague post (which is fine for MPSIMS).

The rules from MPSIMS, explicitly state that you cannot have vague thread titles.

> Descriptive Thread Titles Please make sure your thread titles are descriptive. Ambiguous titles such as “Guess What?” will be edited by a moderator to help give the readers an inkling of what the thread is about.
