Why was the original title ("Privileged Ports Cause Climate Change") changed ?
- dullgiulio 9y agoI guess because it's quite silly, grossly imprecise and click-bait-y.
- throwawaymaroon 9y agogross editorial control over the author's chosen title
- andrewguenther 9y agoBecause the moderators of HN can't make up their minds on the rules "You must post with the original title, or we'll change it" "The original title was bad, so we changed it" At this point, why even give the option to give a title at all?
- dang 9y agoOn the contrary! the rule is simple and consistent and has been the same for many years. You'll find it at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
