What do you think when a forum member creates a thread title and then repeats that title in the body/description of the forum post. Most times, I would prefer they actually take time to give a short backstory or explain more about their situation rather than repeating. What do you think?

With a forum post, the more information provided the better. And, this is true from the point of view of the forum owner who needs more content for SEO purposes as well as other forum members who would like to get the details so they know how to assist.

When I see that type of behavior, I think it's just lazy. At least, the member could have taken time to expand on the details of the discussion to turn it into a better invitation to talk.

Maybe the title says it all. And, at least you have a new discussion on your forum and you can't be very disappointed about that. Some forum members are lazy and won't start new discussion. Don't you think that's worse?

Each writer has his own style of writing and even if I have a hint why the writer was repeating the title in the body of his post, I still respect his style. I sometimes commit that mistake but for a good reason. When I write the title in my comment, it is to emphasize to me the subject matter. I have noticed that I have been doing that when I am nearing writer’s block that my brain is already slow so I have to prod myself to write a good one with that title of the discussion. But I admit that repeating the title has no other agenda.
