Encourage Use of Dates in Thread Titles

FT would be a much more efficient resource if posters would include dates in their thread/topic titles where appropriate (not tomention being more descriptive/specific in general). For example, rather than "New Double Points Promo", use "Double HH AMEX Points 12/1/06-12/31/06 (Targetted)". This would make it easier to find promo threads, reduce duplication, and generally save everyone a lot of time. I've also always thought that using dates in the thread title for property reviews and trip reports would also be more efficient.

The "problem" (to the extent that it is a problem) is only going to get worse as FT gets bigger and older. Perhaps an instruction could be added to the FAQs, then for a period of time moderators could revise thread titles until posters got in the habit of doing it themselves.
