The HN title limit and automatic title editing is really the stupidest thing I've ever seen, especially for a site that claims to not want editorialized titles. Really ensures the exact opposite happens instead all the time.
- wglb 6mo agoI submitted and had to edit the title for length—no other changes.
- xingped 6mo agoI'm not saying it's your fault, I'm blaming the site. Even the automatic title changer very frequently removes words from titles that completely change the meaning of the title. It's really frustrating.
- wglb 6mo agoInteresting. I don't recall any of my submissions had an auto title change.
