Your problem is you are asking the actual question in the title.

Your title should hint to the content of your OP such that they are forced to read it after they are tantalized by your title.

Title = statement
OP = outline and question or troll job promote discussion/sectarian violence

The purpose of the post was to try to get what people thought was going to sell more.  It is a survey thread, with chance for people to explain.  And the question in the title was what was being asked.

That's my point. Why read the OP when the title already asks the question?

I will think about a better way to do it, so people don't get as confused.  Something like Killzone for PS4 vs Titanfall for the ONE.  I thought the idea was you read the subject header, and then the post, and then you replied.  I guess maybe people don't follow that.

Just ignore her man. If you want the car, buy it.

No.

And I will add another thread, where I did not post a question, and some people didn't bother to read:

read the OP and poll?

I maybe should work on the equivalent to a text ink blot, post that as the subject header, and let people subjectively post whatever they want in response to it.

I can't even make a poll, I don't know what the problem is. When I'm making a thread, I click the "add a poll" checkbox, and absolutely nothing happens. I've seen people make polls recently, and I've done it before, so I don't know what's going on. Anyone have advice?
