<p>If you’re starting a thread intended to pose a question to the UC section of the CC community, don’t “conveniently” leave out the question mark to get a higher view count. </p>
<p>For instance, a thread titled, “Best Mechanical Engineering Programs” bolsters information regarding various UC mechE programs, whereas, “Best Mechanical Engineering Programs?” bolsters no information at all.</p>
<p>What do you need help on?
What about the UCLA application?
HELP with WHAT?
Since you have a major question, I guess I’ll just read what you have to say.</p>
<p>It’s a suggestion, not a “formatting rule”. And I clearly outlined who would forget a question mark - Those wanting to earn a higher view count by misrepresenting the content of their posts.</p>
<p>Does anyone actually have a problem with this thread? I hear a lot of crying for no good reason.</p>
<p>I agree that most don’t start such topics. I feel though, that many people have experience with getting their hopes up as they see a very interesting topic in the forum, only to be let down by it’s contents (A question disguised as an informative thread ), all because the creator left out that world changing “?”.</p>
