In my opinion the only real annoyance with HN is when story titles are edited.
Maybe it will take an updated policy to fix the core issue, which is that while linkbait headlines are annoying, some original works are titled very badly and the poster may actually add useful information by customizing the title (often by highlighting what is most interesting/relevant about the linked article).
- xnxn 12y agoI think this aspect of HN has improved immensely in the past several months; dang in particular has done much to increase the transparency around title editing. I find myself less likely to knee-jerk reject a title change when the rationale is right there in the comments.
- waterlesscloud 12y agoI've found I can get away with minor changes to a title if they're purely informational. That's nice.
