Nothing is worse than when someone posts a story then twists the title to fit their own interpretation of it.
Thank you oh wise and objective admins.
- beefsack 14y agoI'm actually quite happy to see this too, I never have a problem with titles here like I do over at Reddit.
- gnosis 14y agoI have a feeling neither of you have had the titles to your own submissions changed.
- readme 14y ago"Can a 32-bit OS machine use up all 8GB RAM + 20GB page file?" One of my submission titles was changed to the above. I cried for days after.
- mikeleeorg 14y agoOut of curiosity, what title did you originally submit? I noticed your submission was this URL, and the changed title matches the submission's actual title. http://superuser.com/questions/367490/can-a-32-bit-os-machine-use-up-all-8gb-ram-20gb-page-file http://superuser.com/questions/367490/can-a-32-bit-os-machin...
- readme 14y agoI reworded it to something like "Can a 32 bit machine use more than 4GB of ram"
- salemh 14y agoIt is a bit annoying re-read or click the same comments on what seems a different or tangential story, get confused, and realize it was a title change.
- mindcrime 14y agoIt's nice that they change linkbait titles to accurate ones. Yes, and if that's all that happened, I doubt most people would complain. The problem is when more accurate / descriptive titles get changed to ones that are less representative of what the linked content is actually about. And yes, this absolutely does happen.
- cube13 14y agoFrom what I've seen, it's usually the opposite. A fairly neutral, descriptive title is changed to the linkbait article title.
