It's all good, sup.
I initially thought it was because of the usage of the word "slams" since that was what the moderator changed in the title (though, I don't know why they didn't just lowercase "slams"). I rarely use caps in thread titles, so not using them won't be an issue at all. The warning is fine, I just didn't want to have to tip toe around creating a thread title in the future or create a bland thread title when I have a better
hook in mind. I like coming up with thread titles when I do make threads. It's interesting to see what's an instant draw and what isn't. That's part of the fun and is essentially a quick study in advertising and what makes ATRL entertaining
for me: You have limited characters for a thread title. Draw in viewers and discussion. You have even less characters (30 max, maybe?) in the above ATRL Ticker (what's the official name for that?) to draw in viewers/discussion.
It's a fun challenge.
