For whatever reason, using underscores in the thread/topic title causes the search engine to ignore all words in the title except the first one, and thus the majority of results which contain underscores in the thread title will not be displayed in the search results when searching using the option "search titles only".

For example, if your title is "Philthy_Rich_And_Dirty-The_Skumbagz", when searching for "Rich", or "Dirty" or "Skumbagz" this thread will not be displayed in the search results. It would be displayed only if you had searched for "Philthy". This would not be an issue if your title was "Philthy Rich And Dirty-The Skumbagz". In such cases, if no results are displayed, someone will waste time and effort to post something which has in fact already been posted, causing unnecessary frustrations for both the uploader and the moderators who have to clean it up, only because the original uploader could not take an extra second or two to remove the underscores.

Consider this your first and last warning. Any threads posted as of May 2009 containing underscores in the title will be deleted.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation and I hope this will make BOT a more efficient and effective forum for all users.
