It's called netiquette. Anyone who doesn't have it can simply be ignored, as you can also always ignore a nondescriptive post. If someone posts something nondescriptive and you have limited time, no one's forcing you to click that link, now are they? No. It's yet another case of pure common sense. It would be a good addition to the forum rules or policies or whatever you call them these days to include something about "meaningful topics", but don't expect every Tom Dick and Harry n00B to actually follow it, let alone even read it.
And if you're one of those people who bitches about "oh but it shows as a new post!" they just read the posts you want to read and then click the magical little "Mark all posts read" link. Wow!

I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.
