Default Intelligent thread naming

I think I can speak for most members when I say, that posting "HELP PLZ" or "READ THIS ASAP" will not help you very much. If your graphics card is having problems, it would be better to name it something like "XFX 9800GTX slow down issues" than "GFX CARD HELP PLZ". Now since OCN is trying to look/be more professional, I think this would be a huge step in doing so.

The people naming threads with HELP PLZ don't usually stay very long so I doubt they care how the site looks

yes...totally agree...it will speed up things much...it has many examples, and in your case, it will be much easier for users that know that card or have it, to helpout the member that has problems...
Also mention some of key things about your issue..for example... "Asus 8800 GT TOP best driver"
