7. For New Topics. When opening a new thread, please ensure that your topic is fully developed. A new topic should provide a solid foundation for discussion. A substantial claim or argument relevant to your topic must be provided. Note that this requirement is not intended to limit the focus of a topic, but rather to ensure that there is substantial material for discussion.
Simple opinions, news updates, "(insert link), discuss.", "Ask me anything about X", etc., are not acceptable as new topics.
