The heading I added to this submission was differ from what I see now. Who changed it? Maybe mine was bad & some one has fixed that :) . But I still like the original heading. >> "OK, Let's face it. Linus Torvalds loves an M$ software"
- unalone 18y agoYour original headline was sensational and detracted from what the article was actually saying. HN has aggressive moderators. (I think. I've never actually seen a moderator. But there've been rumors.)
- chanux 18y agoWell understood the point. And agree too. But wonder why I saw some other headlines of the kind before on HN even on main page. Different ways of treating? I hate that.
- unalone 18y agoIf it makes you feel better, I flag each post with a title like that and comment, and I think a few other users do too. So it's not just you.
- chanux 18y agoHere is one heading successfully escaped from moderation (At least at the moment I post this) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=516956 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=516956
- jrockway 18y agoOK, let's face it. HN is not Reddit. Nobody here wants (or reacts to) sensational titles. We read the article, and then form our own opinion. No need to poison the well.
- chanux 18y agoI've not been on reddit. But on Digg. I started to hate digg and thank god I found HN. I don't want HN be another lame social news site. If my headline tends to drag HN towards their, Hell yeah it's great they changed it. (I don't know who I refer to by 'they'.)
- ricree 18y agoOne hint. If you ever find yourself using a $ instead of an S, there's a good chance you need to rethink your title.
- chanux 18y agoWell.. If HN moderators changed mine for $ sign I've no prblem. But it won't stop me using $ sign instead of S when I talk about Microsoft. And this is HACKER news right?
