> If I had the authority to change the title, I would have done it. As it is, I only claim the "authority" to point out that the submitted title should be changed in accordance with the guidelines; something that others often do as well. Yes, it's clear you would. > How am I reading this in a bizarre and unconventional way? Because you're suggesting that mentioning the technology used for the project is "editorialization" or "clickbait." Quite frankly, everything you've done here has been done not with the intent of actually fixing a problem, but rather of escalating the argument about how mentioning Rust is unfair (although unfair to what? It's unclear) or a rules violation (which if it is, it is at such a mild edge of that spectrum that it's an extremely common type of infraction). I cannot imagine what sort of outcome you were hoping for, but it appears you didn't get it.

> "editorialization" I suggested that we drop this part if it makes you uncomfortable and focus on the core of the rule: "use the original title". > "clickbait." Something that appeared in text that I quoted, but which I did not suggest applied here. > unfair I did not use this word. You are arguing in extremely bad faith. > a rules violation Yep. The rule, again, being "use the original title". > I cannot imagine what sort of outcome you were hoping for In a thread that literally starts with the statement of the outcome I was hoping for? Here it is again: 'The title needs to be fixed to just "Pijul".' I hope you have a wonderful day.

  The mods have been here. In this very thread. They have elected not to change the post. We can only conclude that if this is an infraction of the rules, it's not sufficient to invoke moderator interaction. I hope that this point is clear to you. What's more, this happens dozens of times a day here on Hacker News, yet I cannot find even a single other instance of you leveling this complaint even as you comment in threads that commit this infraction. So clearly, even you don't believe it should be universally enforced. You only perked up to this rule when Rust got mentioned.
