I personally don't think folks ought be stressed about finding the figures only or loquacious version of the thread and ought not be subject to manners policing, but the title thing is helpful

With respect, Contralto, I think you may be missing the point.
I don't see this initiative as "stressing" or "manners policing". I see it as structuring the website to meet everyone's needs. You wouldn't go to the library if you wanted to buy a loaf of bread, would you? This website is a living, evolving community and it makes sense to provide a proper structure, so that members know where to go to find exactly what they're looking for. If a website ceases to meet the needs of its members, they will drift away and the site will die.
Personally, due to other commitments I frequently find myself with very little time in the mornings. It's important for me to take and record my FBG to help me stay on track, but equally I want to be able to support other members through the ratings system, applauding a run of good consistent readings or commiserating with an unexplained dip. Having a thread which is succinct and to the point helps me to do this and still meet my other morning obligations. I can then indulge in chatting and socialising with other members in the evenings on one of the specific 'chat' threads, when I have more time.
Of course, other members want to record their FBGs and enjoy reaching out for a chat at the same time. I applaud this, of course, and this new structure is designed to allow members to do exactly that.
I say, well done, Mods, for identifying a need and applying an intelligent solution!
