Threads I will not click on

For the most part, I really enjoy this board. From the great advice to the crazy, and the support and drama in between. But sometimes... "I just can't even." So I am personally vowing not to even click on the following types of threads.
(This is me thinking out loud - obviously I am not pretending that me not clicking on these posts has any impact whatsoever on internet strangers, or that my advice or contributions are any great loss to you! They are just time savers for me.)
1. "Help!" It's fortunately less often a serious problem like bleeding, and more often some asinine question about names, ingredients, or any other random. How hard is it to clearly label a thread?! (Or to use common sense or call a doctor?!) I get way too worked up over this, personally - better for me just not to click these posts.
2. Facebook Group. This horse is dead. Stop it.
3. Any separate post about names, besides the weekly thread. Here is seriously where "I just can't even." (Why are these always the people with the worst names, too?!)
4. Mucus plug. No. Just no. NO. Thank goodness those are properly labeled so far.
5. Redundant posts. Oh look, three of the same topic on page one! I can basically guarantee you aren't adding to the conversation if you aren't even reading the conversation.
Anyone else have limits to what you will click on? What am I forgetting here?
(Ok, I am so guilty of long posts. Maybe that's a No for some of you!)

@lilitaliangirl - was totally afraid to open your thread! Lol, I take back my side eye at you, sorry ;-) thank you for talking sense!
@MrsWiggleWaggle - yes! Good call:
6. Random symptom threads. Usually directly above or below the Daily symptoms post. Often with a hint of uninformed paranoia that challenges my ability to believe the post is real. You have swollen fingers, heartburn, and trouble sleeping? In your second trimester?? WEIRD...
