Forums put your name on your posts already - you don't need to include a self-reference in the titles. It's tacky, desperate-looking, and unfortunately seems to be increasingly frequent.
If your ideas are good enough then people will acknowledge you and it without need for self-promotion.
Thanks in advance! xoxo

No, people who post threads with those titles are just bad at summarizing. In the vast, vast majority of cases people are posting monsters that fill a specific niche, or of a specific theme.. or a houserule related to a certain type of action or situation, or feats for a specific type of character or scenario.
So "Low CR Marsh Monsters" or "Grappling Houserules" or "Two-weapon fighting feats" are the titles, so you know what the thread is about and whether you care enough to read it. "Houserules" is a bad grab bag... maybe its houserules about how to handle the dice-rolls for roleplaying the entire birth process, including labor, for orc women.. or maybe its something you won't wake up at night in cold sweats about.
Well the issue is much less about them putting their names in it, but the fact that a lot of people just suck at summarizing things. Which is probably something that it'd be nice if people realized.

Actually, your stated issue is more about people being bad at summarizing things. Mine is that I think it's tacky and desperate to post self-titled threads - something that seems to be getting more popular over time.
It's all very Denny Crane.
Well one issue leads to another. Sort of. Sometimes. I dunno. People will name their threads whatever.

This thread dissappoints! I wanted to learn how to create the next Chocolate Rain, Honey Badger, or etc. I thought there would be a point buy system and all the guidelines included...
