Poorly labeled threads

People are splitting hairs over anything these days; it's getting pretty tiresome, and it has nothing to do with being a moderator.

Such as?

Maybe people should follow the rules? Rules aren't created to be broken, especially if there pretty simple. Almost every forum promotes 'Reading the forum rules before you post'. An infraction usually doesn't mean you get banned, or your account is limited. Warning? There's no big deal about an infraction unless in my opinion.

e) If you wish to create a thread, please ensure that you select the correct forum for the message. If you do not, the thread may be moved or - in extreme cases - deleted. Also, try to give your threads explicit titles (For example, 'RAM problems' is better than 'Help!'), and avoid irritating short titles like '.' or '!'. Poorly-labeled threads may be renamed by the moderators.

That did not answer nor justify anything I asked.

Which is the whole point... why is that a rule? Why should they worry about what threads are titled? This should be something the poster themselves worry about. If they give their thread a poor title, it will be reflected in poor views and little help. Their loss, they'll learn soon enough. There really is no reason a moderator should have to waste their time on something so petty.
