There just need to be enough watchdogs.
A very simple solution would be that titles can be flagged by the community. Example below:
submission X by kdzsb 22 minutes ago | flag title | flag discussion | 9 comments
Moderators would simply edit flagged bad titles. Rather than having them to watch all titles (old rules) or no titles at all (new rules).
- DanBC 13y ago> Yes, more power to the community. Wikipedia is still alive despite its massive openness. There just need to be enough trusted watchdogs. Wikipedia has enormous meta community, and it's likely that such a huge amount of meta is toxic.

- jack-r-abbit 13y agoMinor point: flag discussion should probably be flag submission. The current flag action is more for flagging a submission not suitable for HN rather than flagging the discussion around it. Those two things are different.
- trendspotter 13y agoYes, that is minor but still important. Having 3 options: flag submission and flag discussion and flag title might be too much. That's up to the admins to decide what needs more often to be managed, the submission or the discussion. Or it could be named: flag title | flag submission/discussion
