I agree. Changing titles decreases the quality of the submission since they are almost always uninformative and mundane compared to the originally submitted titles. And this thread is case in point.
Edit: I'm tempted to write a bot that will catch title changes and post the original title as a comment in the thread automatically.
- MichaelApproved 13y agoI tried something like that once. HNers were not fans of novilty accounts, even a useful one that added content like yours would. Though, I'd be in favor of you trying and seeing the result. My test was limited and short lived so it may not be indicative of the full community.
- plorkyeran 13y agoThe bot which automatically posted links to previous submissions of the same URL was also received pretty poorly despite often being useful, so I wouldn't have high hopes.
- beedogs 13y agoYou'll probably be shadow-banned; there's another dirty little HN secret. The moderation here is pretty horrifyingly bad.
