Is there a word limit to HN headlines? discuss order hn newest mdp2021|10 months ago There is a pattern recognition and transformation mechanism in place that rearranges bad title forms, such as "12 ways to serve Spam". ginko|10 months ago I loathe this automatic editing of titles on HN. "How X became Y" and "X became Y" has a completely different meaning.If there's submissions with stupid titles like "12 ways to serve Spam" then these should just be flagged by the users. load replies (2)
