PC's continuing purpose may well be, and probably is, offering aid and comfort to those in great pain and confusion. And for all members in such a state, no great efforts should be required or advised in the matter of labelling a post that is a cry for help.

But PC is more than just an answering-place receptive to those in immediate, deep distress. Though I haven't counted, it does seem to me that the majority of posts in PC are made by individuals not in immediate dire straits, but by people seeking information, friendship and in many cases (regarding games and other topics) just normal fun. And for those folks, a bit of reflection on their thread title would probably translate into a greater number of responses, which is what they want.

Most members of PC are not only willing, but anxious, to help all those who present themselves here as desperately in pain and sorely in need of intelligent, sympathetic advice. At the same time, some members of PC appear to want to use their desire to be of service not only to bolster their own feelings about themselves but to declare themselves superior to those not as seriously devoted (they think) as themselves to the welfare of others.

I suppose that having a certain percentage of such self-satisfied, puffed-up members is expectable in any human activity with philanthropic aims. Which doesn't mean to say that their self-attributed airs and graces need be taken seriously by their less inflated co-members who, while doing exactly the same things, don't insistently demand recognition of the absolute purity of their motives or the superiority of their devotion.

If you want as many as possible to read and respond to your posts, make the thread titles as interesting and intriguing as possible. Simple. Easy. Non-confrontational. And not applying to anyone on the edge of a cliff.
