For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

That just reminded me of something I hated about a large consulting firm I used to work for. When doing the "laddering" (aka ranking people for promotions and raises), we had to justify why people deserved to be ranked higher than everyone else.

The people in that meeting were soooo full of shit. You'd have people claiming that their brand new analyst fresh out of college was managing a team of 100 people. Meanwhile I'm like "my new guy wrote some good test scripts and didn't say anything dumb in front of the client." Just couldn't compete with all that BS.
