Title: What to do with threads that use weird characters?
Post by: R2D221 on October 19, 2014, 06:28:17 AM
I've recently found a thread that reads something like this:

Quote
███ Why Bitcoin Exists ███

all with the annoying black boxes. It's obviously done to call for attention, but it certainly does so negatively.

Can I report these kind of titles? Or should I just deal with it and move on? It's not the first one I see here.

I guess you should just deal with it and move on. I see quite a few of them as well, but not a whole lot we can do, unless the staff implement a rule against it.

I don't think it is disallowed at this moment. In fact, you can find half a dozen of special characters thread titles in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0.

Use it to update your ignore list. I dont see any reason to report this.

Me too. The characters are okay. If the thread isn't needed in the forum, reporting is good. It is used just to get attention.
