When will people on here LEARN that a question is not a subject especially giving choices ::) It has the word Subject on the left side of the box, not Question. Learn how to phrase your question as a subject.
Forums are for discussions of topics, questions are for debates. It is not to say you can't have questions in the replies but the idea is to discuss a SUBJECT! Thank you. I know I just talked to a wall. 8)

The use of thoughtful or provocative questions can be a means of introducing subjects. Forum subjects, or threads, are open to comment, discussion, and/or debate. That's what its about!

Questions are not subjects plain and simple.

If you are that unhappy with these threads then WHY are you here? Yes, a question is appropriate to put in the "subject" field. That little box is for putting the topic of the thread.
There are threads that I click on, roll my eyes, and move on, but I have never felt the need to start a thread with a rant about threads I don't like. I just don't post in those.

I have seen may questions that are not "thought provoking" but people asking for advice on how to handle some situation or what to do about something. And you are right. That's what these "OFF TOPIC" forums are about. A place to discuss anything not FC related.

Nothing wrong with a question as a topic kinda ridiculous to even say questions are not subjects when they clearly are. If you don't like a question topic then don't read the post and if you can't deal with that then maybe seek help. (having an issue with how someone talks is obsessive to begin with and not healthy)

First of all... A question is.. A subject or point that is under discussion or open to controversy...
Let's back that a minute... a subject for discussion...
Does that not clearly state that a question is indeed.. a subject.. or point....
While a Debate is also.. A Discussion or an Argument.. It is often 2 sided.. as it is mainly the discussion of opposing points..
Secondly... We should not get this narrow-minded.. on a forum non the less about how people go about typing, and or discussion certain subjects.. Or how they word or phrase their subjects.. as it is their post to make and not yours... If you have a problem with how people "phrase their subjects" maybe you should stick to reading the dictionary...Or don't read any posts that have a question and that will solve all of your problems in one stop..Do you not agree?

I think it is ok to use a question to start a topic / subject, but not all questions are the same... For example, if you ask "Is the country headed in the right direction?", the question is open-ended enough that it invokes more well thought-out responses and a good discussion of the topic. However with questions like "Do you like chocolate or vanilla?", people can respond with just a one-word answer so there tends to not be any real discussion of the topic. I also notice that sometimes people (esp. newbies) will post a question about FC in the Off-Topic section instead of posting in the correct section of the forums. But you'll see this too inside the Debate and Discuss section where sometimes the vanilla vs. chocolate type of questions will be posted.

WOW! I have a question. Are you a little ill over something that really doesn't matter?

Until FC decides that asking a question in the subject is not appropriate I will continue to "ask" questions in the subject line or respond to questions asked in a subject line. Relax, all of this is to help each other earn some money. Is it really that disturbing to you that someone posts a question in the subject line?
-
I don't see what the big deal is asking a question. Asking a question is a topic of discussion. I find the most people ask questions for the subjects on other forums I'm on. I mean you can always choose to ignore them.
-
You are playing with words....there are always TECHNICAL terms....but this is a forum used to talk....about anything!
-
I agree with the consensus here. This forum is NOT a formal, regulated, college-level debate competition. It's an informal, non-excluding place to converse. We won't even exclude you from taking part. ;)

If someone put the question up in topic,Do you think Hillary will be our next president?DUHHHH i find it ok to ask that in topic.
Kinda reminds me of some who get bent outta shape with spelling and punctuation!!
If you were having a nice chat with someone who stuttered,are you mean enuff to correct them??
u-u-un-dderstan--ddd?

Totally agree. I have a co-worker that constantly makes fun of me and how I pronounce certain words. And it is an obsession with him.

Actually they can respond however they want. I don't really like either. Personally I prefer strawberry. And that leads to more responses.

I am going to say - probably so. lol. If you pay attention this same person trolls all the threads correcting others for spelling, punctuation, or making smart remarks about what someone says.

I don't get it. If you don't like what is being discussed then don't respond. I think it is a sad life that a person is living when all they do is try to put someone else down so they can feel better about themselves.

A question IS NOT a subject! it does not say Subject or Question at top. Poor reading comprehension, obvious lack of education, and rampant laziness on here are very insightful and scary to know that this little thing indicates why the country is going the way it is, think about it if you can 8) :peace:
-
I don't have any problem with it, as long it going of off topic :)

I suppose we can learn English 101 on here.
-
wow grumpy much? I dont think we need forum police, isnt that what the staff does? And besides your english is hard to understand, so not sure I even understood what you were trying to convey
-
What an odd thing to get so upset about. This is just a forum for discussion after all.

sub·ject
noun: subject; plural noun: subjects
ˈsəbjəkt/
1. a person or thing that is being discussed, described, or dealt with.
"I've said all there is to be said on the subject"
synonyms: theme, subject matter, topic, issue, question, concern, point, substance, essence, gist
Therefore the word "question" is a suitable synonym for the word "subject" as it pertains to a topic for discussion. Since we are dealing with humans that understand nuances between the two words as well as how they relate, we have the capacity to understand a question asked as being similar enough to a technical "subject" being written instead.

Broad generalizations, nitpicking of other's grammar / word usage while at the same time displaying poor grammar (ever heard of a run-on sentence?), and a dig on people's mental capacity that is completely unrelated to the original topic is very insightful to the trollish nature of your posts.

fjaz1, whenever I see this name I usually IGNOR. I am tired of some pompous ones putting every one down if they do not agree with them.
