The kind I most hate?  Probably the kind you most hate as well: "ADAM
LASNIK PLEASE HELP" (or any title that addresses a person, rather than
an issue).  URLs should stay out of subject titles (and usernames, for
that matter; you should think about adding a block for the @ character
in names).

Beyond that, the main thing I'd really like to see is you guys putting
some of the posters like softplus (there are others deserving as well,
I'm sure; I just haven't really been paying much attention to this
group lately; maybe Robbo webado?) in moderator positions.  Since the
Googlers here can't stop every personal attack post and spam thread,
why not delegate that task to people who would willingly do the task
for free?  If done right, it could definitely make this group a much
more...livable place.  I know FredC suggested in another thread that
hardcore posters on here ought to have titles, but I think you should
go ahead and fully leverage the fine bunch of nerds you've assembled
here. :)

I'm glad that you're finally responding directly to criticisms of the
group overall, and taking suggestions about it.  The first step, as
they say, is admitting you have a problem. :p
