@slhck: Please note that the word "problem" can occur in a tag and in the post itself so it doesn't make it really much harder to search for those questions. Some sites don't have the filter in place because of the problem word being part of a very large subset of the topics on the site, I'm not completely sure which but have said something (I think in comments) on that on the original Meta.SO question. But for many other sites "problem" in the title doesn't really make sense as under the purpose of the original filter.

| Feb 10, 2012 at 5:19 | comment | added | slhck | Just to be clear though: I think we all understand why those "Problem" titles are bad. I really dislike them, just as much as I don't think "issue" is any better. The "problem" starts when you want to look for help with, let's say "Problem Steps Recorder". It's even the name of the software! Or an "Issue Tracker". These things are just called like this. Or the "Halting Problem" with fifteen very good questions on the subject. | |
| Feb 10, 2012 at 4:59 | comment | added | slhck | I'm absolutely okay with the "automatic filter" solution, since it at least allows to find bad content, the real reason being a logical flaw of "eliminating" bad titles by just blacklisting words, which means that people will start to use other bad titles you can not track. But I've been over this too many times before and won't start discussing again. Also removed my answer below – I understand that it's not constructive to work around the system. | |

FYI, my answer intents to generally target any use of the problem word in a title. It's a copy from my deleted answer on the meta question Daniel linked, which I now undeleted. It was quite obvious that it would be down voted...

@OliverSalzburg: You can use problem-step-recorder as a tag instead of putting it in the title. There are barely any popular applications that have problem in their name, and I would really disadvice having the full Problem Step Recorder in the title as that doesn't make up a good question.

| Feb 10, 2012 at 0:11 | comment | added | Oliver Salzburg | I'm sorry for not reading your whole answer, but what I read felt like it didn't relate to the problem I made aware in my question. The term "problem" is not used to refer to an actual problem the user has. It is used to refer to the name of an application. If I should have read your answer completely to avoid this confusion, I apologize in advance. | |
