Plus, as this is the "Articles" forum, I think it is understood that subject lines are often titles of articles.

As this section is intended to be a repository for ALL articles related to MNKD, it makes more sense to use the title of the article as the title of the thread. By either reading the article, or the comments in the thread, one can easily ascertain whether its supportive of MNKD or not. Heck, usually the title is indicative in itself. |

Maybe so, but in all fairness, I do believe there are algos/bots that troll the internet and pick up on title content, strange as it may seem. Maybe that's how some of our favorite authors have been gaming the system. Have heard about it, don't know if it's true or not, but why give them the benefit of the doubt? If you want to know more, search "algorithms that scan headlines of stock news" --- if you have high blood pressure, make sure you took your meds today ;-) |

If that's true, would it help to make the articles section visible only to members? |

Making forums "members only" would indeed deter the 'bots, but I don't see that having any impact on our situation overall.
