Hub of the day!

The title would read "What The Fuck? Smartphone bans in Schools? BLAH BLAH (since I don;t really know what the SMH stands for I can assume it means "Sue my ass" or whatever).

Jeez, I am not a prude but I would think a title like that would not be appropriate especially since it concerns kids...just saying.

  I totally agree that the title is inappropriate for the quality that HP is trying to maintain -- however, the article is well written and contains some very sensible thoughts and suggestions. It is only the title that contains a derogatory term that everyone knows the meaning of -- there are not other such terms within the hub. I strongly believe that whoever chose that hub as HOTD, should have requested that the title be changed to drop the immature, inappropriate term -- the rest of the title is fine.

  My point exactly. As you may have noticed, I never mentioned the hub itself because I scanned through it and didn't find anything inappropriate there. Just the title which should have been changed. To me it gives the wrong impression about the articles that are on HP.

  The writer has an eye catching headline that even caused a creation of this thread.
  
  He or she has done a good job getting people's attention. Think about how many more views he gets for the extra attention(be it positive or negative).

  I don't mean anything against the writer. None of us are perfect, and sometimes we don't even set out to write a Hub that meets high standards, but HOD should represent everything this site says it's looking for in a Hub. Is this it? I don't get it.

  Cursing aside, it makes sense to use a modern term (what do you call phrases like this? Do we all sound 100 years old yet?) when dealing with this subject. It's catchy and smart to use it in the title.
  
  For example: if a someone wanted to promote a prayer, texting site, they could call it OMG. Tacky in every way, but you get the comparison.

  "I used to be with it. Then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to YOU!"

I've been under the impression that HP wants magazine quality/style articles. Not text speech from a phone screen. As such the abbreviations are not appropriate for the body of text, let alone the title, unless the topic itself is the use of such language.

  About the use of phones in schools, and the schools reaction to students carrying them. Well written overall and with some good thoughts, it fit well into the HP scheme as I understand it. Except for that title - that puts it square back into a teeny bopper playing with her phone rather than a serious dialog.

  Well, again, other than the fact that it represents a curse word... it is a clever title. There isn't an English speaking student alive who doesn't know what that means and most of them use it quite commonly. Most don't even think of it as a curse word... it's almost like the letters themselves have come to stand more for an expression of shock or anger than for the actual F word they represent. Not defending its usage at all, but as a title, I think it's clever, it makes sense.

  I don't mind the text jargon or whatever they are called being used in a title. And yes I understand your POV since the hub is about smartphones in schools, but the use of that particular acronym is inappropriate for what HP says it's aiming for. Why not OMG, or WTH? Or some other exclamatory expression?

I agree with you Cardisa. It is not appropriate title for a hub especially then to be picked for Hub of the Day. I think if reflects poorly on Hub Pages and on all of us if this is what HP is telling the world is great writing. I find it terribly offensive. I am shocked and surprised this would be chosen a Hub of the Day. I think it is a slap in the face to previous winners and winners in the future. Who wants to be associated with this hub? Not me.

This is an interesting juxtaposition between generations.
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE in my circle of friends uses the 'f' word. But I am old. *sigh*
However, when I worked (in a very white collar, educated, high end world-) I found that some very clean cut main stream younger people used the WTF phrase fairly often!
I accept it and 'get it' being used on shows like the Daily Show. Movies, too. But still refrain personally from using it.
Still, I would rather not be associated with the term.
In 1939 Gone with the Wind was censored for the use of "Frankly, my dear I don't give a damn." Language changes.

The scary thing about the page is not so much the title as the quantity and density of text.

The title probably would appeal to the young but those huge paragraphs would put off most people.

I don't know... I find the "WTF" thing kind of funny. Those initials are "out there" everywhere anyway. The meaning or root of them is kind of watered down at this point. A little bit of sense of humor about some things presented in small doses is a good thing, I think. Besides, it shows that the author has a genuine feel for the "mood"/flavor of the particular topic.

Does anyone else pic the HP's staff gathered in a tiny office, drinking coffee and eating bagels. Paul leads the meeting off with, "Ok, "catastrophes of the day"?"

Matt brings a few technical glitches to the table, Paul asks him how soon till they can be worked out, then brings up a current sporting event... they talk about the highlights, then they all look to whatever poor soul is stuck with monitoring the forums and wait for the newest drama to unfold.

"Well, apparently the HOTD has got quite a few ppl up in arms." Poor Soul says.

"The Christians?" Paul asks already sure of the answer.

"No," says Poor Soul, "the over 30 crowd."

"Huh!" Paul replies, eyebrow arched, and then his mind drifts off to a Tim Tebow interview he'd seen earlier in the week as they all sit shaking their heads.

Wait for a massive move over to LMAO titles with WTF and more inane words ... all of which will probably either drag down Hub Pages or else bring in new fresh eyes that love that kind of thing.
