View submission: Rule Enforcement Change - Top-level comments must answer the question
I wonder if a lot of those can be eliminated by more types of titles being banned because they tend to encourage that in people (me included).
To use a recent slightly changed example
"Am I the only one who doesn't like Silm Chicken?"
I am drawn to - "don't be fucking stupid, on an island of 70 million people, how can you be the only one?"
You can ban certain word combinations in titles right?
(Maybe this has tried)?

We remove over 60% of all questions (mostly via Automod and Post Guidance). Though many of these do go on to be fixed by OP and reposted thankfully.
Trust us, the removals are *very* effective currently. Despite this, we can't fix stupid.
I wouldn't say the post you reference is stupid however, but would have been removed on report (if it was reported) resultantly for being too lazy / obvious. It is *more likely* OP knew he wasn't the only one who disliked it, but wanted very specifically, just to talk about it. People are lonely, and want others to reach back out of the void.
Sometimes that means typing up absolute horseshit.
