When a specific issue is titled with a general question on forums (lemmy.world)

I feel like it should be a part of internet etiquette to not start your forum posts with a general question only to clarify in the text post it's about something specific. Like at that point if you want to use a general question as the title you could start a comment thread with your specific situation. I know it would end up with people commenting outside your comment thread with your specific situation in mind but in a better world the OP's problems will get solved and other people with the same general question but specific situation could get help as well in another comment thread.

Can't justify the "hurr durr people are asking the same questions at the same time, just look at the previous posts" mentality when, yes, the post titles are similar, but it's clearly for another's specific situation. People would feel bad for "barging in" on those sort of posts.

What's an acceptable amount of time to back out of a date?

EDIT: It's our wedding date.

EDIT 2: Thanks for the answers, sounds like 2-4 hours is standard. I've still got some time.
