alt Hacker NewsI’ve seen a few submissions have their titles changed in the last few months. I was led to believe that submissions should not deviate from the original title under any circumstance other than those described on the guidelines.
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
Has this policy been relaxed recently? I never liked it as I find a lot of submissions can be unintentionally misleading when the original title is used.

In this case the title is misleading so the policy still applies

The policy is as stable as fossils in granite. It definitely hasn't changed.
It sounds like the subthread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45098046 cleared up any misunderstandings but if you still have questions let us know!
