@admins is it ok to flag that article just for that reason?
- kwhitefoot 6y agoI'm not an admin but I think the answer should be yes.
- HellDunkel 6y agowhats the reason?
- dredmorbius 6y agoFailure to expand / define the acronym.
- JshWright 6y agoThat isn't mentioned anywhere in the posting guidelines. I don't think posts should be flagged for breaking rules that don't exist.
- dredmorbius 6y agoA broad interpretation of clickbait as any low-quality or gratuitously obscure writing style might be seen as a factor. In practice, people will vote down or flag what they will. Asking for permission really won't change that. The practice of using a recently-coined acronym without definition as the principle focus of a story is pretty egregious.
- JshWright 6y agoNo, the HN submission guidelines explicitly ask that the original title be used.
- dredmorbius 6y agoWith numerous exceptions.
