- amirmc 15y agoThen for the sake of HN readers can we allow the titles submitted here to be different? Edit to add: I know it's possible but I've seen a couple of cases recently where a submitter changed a title (for clarity) but a mod changed it to match the original article.
- canistr 15y agoThis has happened with a lot of new articles posted on HN in general. It's frustrating because on one hand, you don't want to post an article that's not the source even though it has a clearer (albeit, link-bait) title, but on the other hand, you want the source link even though the title doesn't make any sense.
- tokenadult 15y agoReplying here to mention that every once in a while, a curator on HN changes a story title that was the original article title to something that is made up by the curator. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2813270 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2813270 I've asked about this before, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2834531 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2834531 but the press of other business has kept anyone from answering the question about just why that happened.
