It's baffling how almost no one here ever speaks out against it. Everybody just puts up with it even though we all know what a sign of arrogance and incompetence it is to attempt to alter post titles in this clumsy, embarrassingly broken way. Everyone is just silently looking at their feet in second hand embarrassment and doesn't want to speak up. And the funniest thing is: there is an official rule that says not to edit the original titles. Amazingly bizarre.

People have. The mods have made it clear they consider it necessary to maintain the quality of conversation and they have no intention of changing it.

  The mods are obviously wrong and there should be way more pushback from the users. It's embarrassing.

    You can try, but the only thing "pushback" will likely achieve is getting your account filtered for posting "unsubstantive content."

i have mentioned that i dont like it. dang said i was wrong. however, the submitter is able to edit the title for a short window after posting to add the 'how' back in for cases where removing it materially alters the meaning.
