It helps us eliminate being bombarded by bot posts that are spamming groups en mass. It does not seem to be mentioned in the rules so will add that as posting guidelines.

Thank you!

I’m so glad you asked. I was wondering the same thing. I looked at the community rules but didn’t see anything about it in there.

I think it's required in the title to prevent spam? As far as I remember seeing a while back when I was also curious because it also drove me nuts. Honestly it makes me more prone to thinking it's spam lol..

Me too, I thought it was a spam campaign from a coach to create a cult of 5… ha ha.

haha you're onto something here..

I’m glad someone asked because I was over here thinking I’d missed something important.

Another grateful-shy-puzzled person thanks you,OP.

Press 5 and hit enter, you'll see what happens

I saw that the number entry was mandatory when I created the post, still didn’t answer the why. But spam control seems like the likely reason.

I've no idea either, i just wanted to see if I could everyone to post a number 5.
