Flagged for misleading title. Also is anyone having trouble scrolling the page on mobile? It seems to want to jump everywhere except the place I want it to.

Flagged for misleading title.
Also is anyone having trouble scrolling the page on mobile? It seems to want to jump everywhere except the place I want it to.
- janandonly 3y agoWould you have read the article if HN had shown the original title: The Digital Finance Voyage: A Case for Public Sector Involvement Keynote address, Singapore Fintech Festival ?
- dang 3y agoIt's against HN's rules to do that - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: ""Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."". If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=%22level%20playing%20field%22%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... I know it sounds like an arbitrary rule, and I agree that it has some disadvantages, but if we didn't have it, HN would be quite a different place. Titles are by far the biggest influence on threads. Allowing the submitter to put their own point of view in the title would give them special control over the discussion. We want the starting point of discussions here to be more neutral than that.
