That's a good idea.
- anigbrowl 13y agoIf you're doing that, please also revisit the guideline about not posting with linkbait titles - because that's usually why I edit, and it's frustrating to replace a linkabity title with a more factual one only to see it reverted later.
- hamburglar 13y agoAt the risk of over-thinking, it might be useful to have a "rationale for edit" field that lets a submitter briefly make their case for changing the title ("orig title was linkbait" etc) to make moderators' jobs easier.
- protomyth 13y agoIs it possible to increase the title length, or add how many characters over the current title is. I keep copying submissions into a text editor to edit the title and it would probably easier for folks if the rejection form told how many characters needed to be deleted.
- mpweiher 13y agoAllow the title field to be blank, in which case the title is auto-fetched. (I just tried leaving the title blank and it barfed at me). If a custom title is submitted, require an explanation. Possibly display both the custom title and the original title.
- rpm4321 13y agoHey pg, I've often wondered if something similar to this might help with the civility issue. I'm not thinking blink tag gaudy :) - but seeing an "unmissable" reminder message as you are typing your comment into the textarea would probably be helpful in curbing abuses.
