Recently, I saw this promoted post:

community ad

I feel like the way it's presented is less than ideal, since

  1. It makes no sense out of context (Photo Contest)
  2. It's not a question, so calling it one only confuses viewers more

While the former could be considered just a case of a bad title for a post, the later definitely doesn't help. Could it be reworded to include (at the very least) the category the post is from, so that users seeing posts like these actually know what the post is talking about?

It looks like this has changed; I just saw this:

"Check out this article"

I'm inferring that the ad is now sensitive to the type of post being linked; I'd like to confirm that with the developers before marking this status-completed, since I've only got the one data point so far.
