On HN users are in fact expected to modify titles which are misleading or clickbaity, without resorting to editorialization.
This would include for example, changing an article from a Florida news source saying "diabetes epidemic out of control" to "Florida reports highest level of diabetes in its history" (these are completely made up).
- nine_k 4y agoThere is also a strong bias to reverting titles to the original formulation. We have a convention to add (year) to mark the date. We should take up a convention to add [context], too; e.g. [In Sydney] Backyard hens’ eggs contain 40 times more lead... I tried that several times, but mods often revert that. I wonder what @dang thinks about this.
