10. and where else

would I raise this issue?

I've been taught to put as much differentiating content in a title/subject/headline as possible to enable quick scanning. I don't agree that we should be encouraged to do click-thrus to find out WTF the poster meant.

I also know that those click-thrus are a way for a site to measure interest levels. Some more social media analysis for DU?
