Kindly refrain from using the word Somali when creating negative threads unless its news. E.g Somalis make the worst canjera, Somalis are the worst kubad players, Somali men are (something negative). Why do I say this? More often than not, when one searches 'Somali anything' on search engines, Somalinet pops up on the 1st page. 'Are we the worst kubad players?' should suffice, ileen we're in a Somali forum. Its not like we're addressing an international audience.

Many thanks.

I AGREE

However let me quote you one of my favourite quotes about Perceptions:
People see what they want to see and what people want to see never has anything to do with the truth.

How does turning a negative statement into a negative rhetorical question rectify the situation? It doesn't make the thread any less searchable, which seems to be your primary beef here, as the keywords are still present. Nor does it magically change the content of the thread and hoodwink readers into thinking tasteful discourse awaits them.

Observe: The title Such and such is stupid essentially conveys the same sentiment as Is such and such stupid? And the fact that both threads then go on to highlight the same point(s) doesn't help none.
Kindly refrain from using the word Somali when creating negative threads.
Also, why only negative threads? The "ileen we're in a Somali forum " logic (word used very loosely) should hold for positive threads too.

Quit with this "oh I'm going to passive aggressive I mean polite" nonsense and just say what you want to say: STOP AIRING OUR FILTHY LAUNDRY Y'ALL.

(it's actually not that hard)
