Seeing more and more submissions recently break this guideline:

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

Time for guideline change or stricter enforcement?

[xen2xen1]

The last time I saw it enforced, it was for a MUCH more material change of the title. Something like, "New Product Announced!" to "Change you password now!", hiding it was basically an ad, etc. This doesn't mention the Metaverse part (which is material), but it's also more of a summarization and not an outright deception.

"NVIDIA Launches Omniverse Cloud Services for Building and Operating Industrial Metaverse Applications"

Seems a bit long for the title, and "Company’s First SaaS Offering" is the first four words of the subtitle. Seems pretty reasonable?

> NVIDIA Launches Omniverse Cloud Services for Building and Operating Industrial Metaverse Applications

Is this really a better title? OPs contains just as much information.

[freediver]

It's not about which title is better (I agree OP's better) but the guideline saying do not editorialize the title.

So either a bad/irrelevant guideline or not properly enforced.

Or are guidelines instead of stead fast rules.

[freediver]

Good point. I (think I) remember seeing guidelines being used to enforce a mod action though, so then they would stop being guideliness and become rules.

I don't think things are so black and white. The mods can pretty much do whatever they want at the end of the day. They also give a lot of leeway.

I guess my engineering mind is wanting things to be more black and white.
