dang, please re-title this.

[dang]

Doesn't make sense to retitle it now because the thread is so dominated by the editorialized title. I think we need to leave it. This is why the site guidelines contain the rule: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

The [flagged] marker, btw, is because users flagged the submission, which they were correct to do.

Posting "dang, please re-title this" doesn't do anything, you should email [e-mail] instead, as I just did. Dan or some other behind-the-scenes mod usually handle these quickly.

True, but also interesting. I'm sure dang and the mod team would have a special filter for comments mentioning "@dang" or something alike. Seems imperative and useful.

Edit: ...and if they do, I think I just tagged them unnecessarily. xD

Pretty sure dang doesn’t have it (well, at least he didn’t when he last posted about this topic), which is why he asks people to email instead.

You went from certain to “pretty sure” quickly. For me the friction to open my email app is high enough that I might not bother.
