I've made a quick example so you see what I mean, it's so it is easy to tell what the thread is about, titles can be a bit vague at times...

Better titled posts would be a start. Things like "Is this ok?" and "Please help!" don't help as subject lines!

It's because they write the post from within the forum section they are writing about, specially because the text editor has the directory of the forum the user is posting in above it.
It's just when it's displayed on the front page all the context is lost.

Regardless of what forum such a post it put in, "Is this ok?" is never going to give you a clue as to what the post is about!

You're right, a title guide will be useful, but since the users who post like that are probably not technical it may mean we instead get titles like 'PLEASE HELP INTERNET WONT LOAD WINDOWS 7 INTERNET EXPLORER 8'
