I don't understand why HN still has a field for manually entering titles if the system is capable of scraping it from the linked site, and does it automatically within a few minutes of posting.
- lazerwalker 12y agoBecause sometimes being able to manually add in editorializing can be valuable. In this specific example, the added "SUSPENDED" that was removed gave context about why the link was interesting.
- nicksergeant 12y agoThere are actual human beings on HN who are tasked with changing submission titles.
