    I’m not sure if it happened in this case but Ars is known to use A/B titles. It auto selects the title more people clicked on after a couple hours.

      Sure that’s why I didn’t just pull it down for the violation. I’ll give it some time, but I still have to enforce the rule eventually.

        Is it possible to edit the title? Just curious, I’m neither OP nor a mod anywhere.

          Yes, the original poster can edit the post. I cannot, and really shouldn’t be allowed to.
