Can we stop allowing titles that are just the URL or some code name for a project? It forces you to click on the link to know what the website is about.

In case this gets fixed: the title of this post as of writing is just the URL right now.

Why don't you just flag it and move on? Why even click on the link?

Not trying to be combative or argumentative. genuinely curious

I did flag, but it usually doesn't do anything. At least on here I might be able to get a response from dang or something about why it happens so often.

I find that it usually helps, but it is also not instant. So now the post is being shown as flagged now. I do it a lot with spam/click bait posts.
