More Descriptive sub heading for Rant Room
I've noticed a lot of new users posting non-rants in the Rant Room and I wonder if its because of the little description line (Rant Room, not jerk room) isn't telling new users what the forum is about. It would make it easier on the mod as well as cut out a lot of the forum hall monitor BS in there.

Was that your rant? 
Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

Re: More Descriptive sub heading for Rant Room
It should be common sense to people that the "rant room" is meant for ranting.

Common sense isn't.

Re: More Descriptive sub heading for Rant Room
I actually agree with John that changing the little description could help keep out some of the clutter from new users. Something like, "Vent to you heart's content." Or maybe something else...

If RantRoom changes, the "tighter moderation" part of Minithink needs to change too.

I never go to MiniThink so I don't really have an opinion on that

That wasn't directed at you per se... I just quoted you because... well, for no particular reason.
