Recently some of us have been posting in violation of -
quote:11. Attention seeking posts. Topics or posts started with the sole aim of attention seeking, for example - "Look at me", "I'm leaving unless you all beg me to stay", "I'm gonna slit my wrists!" will be deleted immediately. No exceptions.
And while I'm sympathetic to the reasons why these topics are being created and thus have tried to ignore them, they are becoming more prevalent.
And to nip this in the bud before its an epidemic, I'm editing the titles involved to be less "needy." Including any - "Opinions Needed" additives. I think its a reasonable assumption that posting a topic here is an implied request for opinions. Asking for them is in a violation of the rule.

I did edit a topic title.
Every topic is about posting thinking someone else will take an interest and participate, so it's better to describe what the subject matter entails rather than a "Please respond" or whatever for a title.
No one is obligated to nor should they feel pressure to post. Responses should come from a shared interest or to add an interesting thought. And no one should take it personally should people not respond.
