All I want is titles with unneeded capitalization to be banned.

But that will TAKE AWAY all of the EMOTION in the TITLE!

I agree keep them. I write tons of dual meaning topics. Like for example my thread about Microsoft closing Massive. Massive was a division of Microsoft so I named the thread Microsoft:A Massive failure. These threads get tons of replies and really go well. But I do get mad when someone posts a topic like Mother 3 coming to North America but the OP is about Sonic. I hate it when the topic has nothing to do with the OP!

I find it amusing that some of the responses to this thread assumed I wanted the misleading titles banned.

Win!

I think misleading in a funny way is fine, but titles like "What is it with...", "This is weird" and "OMFG LOOK AT THIS!!!1" are just annoying, though whether they're actually misleading or not is a different matter I guess.

I agree scottie.

So much that it is my one and only formula for writing a thread.
