Urgent!!!!!

Just felt the urge to issue the following... :o

There's only one thing even worse to me than a post titled "Need Help" (may or may not be accompanied by other non-substantial stuff), and that's when the post contains the word "urgent" (either in the title or in the post's body).

To clarify: There's probably few ways to create an even more meaningless thread title. Posts titled "Need Help" are instantly put quite low on my priority scale (regardless of their actual contents, if I read that at all), and the word "urgent" even pushes them significantly lower (in case thare's any "lower" on the scale at that point at all).

:thumbd:

Probably needless to mention that, but if the post hasn't hit the absolute minimum priority already anyway, its rank on my priority scale also is inverse-proportional to the number of exclamation points it contains.

Perhaps this rant sets somebody thinking, but at least I feel I can sleep a bit better now tonight...

I know what you mean, when ever I see the word urgent in a thread title I am much more likely to ignore it.

IMO the only time things are urgent is when someone wants us to write a program for them for their homework assignment - and then they get a bit upset when we point them to the forum code of practice and say we can't write it for them!
