I agree completely. I think that even when the real title of an otherwise good article is linkbait, it should be changed when posted to HN. I would love to see a feature developed around this idea: perhaps allow others to suggest more accurate titles to be voted up, or to simply make it a rule to use honest titles and quote it directly under the title field on the submit page.

My startup is semi centered around this idea: http://quippd.com/about/intro http://quippd.com/about/intro I asked for feedback in an Ask HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1454934 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1454934 I too hate misleading headlines and untrue stories, so I'm trying to make it a centerpiece of my project. Hope you check it out! :)
