NWFA is now censoring and rewriting your thread titles

[rdb241]

I posted a thread yesterday about a steamroller destroying a bunch of rifles. The title of my thread "was"..........."I can't stand to watch this". Some how during the afternoon. My thread title became...."Steam roller ploughs over thousands of guns". I sent Joe a PM asking what was up and no reply. Why would anybody in admin change my title for no reason. My title was not out of line or violate any rule here. I would at least like an explanation please...................... not happy

Your title wasn't descriptive. I would not have clicked on it. I did read your post under the new title.

"I cant stand to watch this" is like an article called "John Travolta doesn't look like this"

It's sounds like click bait.

I agree that an explanation to you should be forthcoming though.

I would have clicked on it out of pure curiosity........because of the title. I did not know we had set guidelines for titles.

It says right in the rules that your title must be descriptive of the content contained. It just makes the site easier to search and use. Its not censorship, its just house keeping.

And I think Joe is on vacation (I have sent him a few PM's and got no a reply as well.)

It helps to have some description of the thread content in the tittle.

Like he said

In my experience Joe doesn't reply to questions like this. For me, no reply means just let it go. It is his forum.

OK then......

Your title was not searchable.
Interesting that the editor is probably not American born.
Yes, a private message with an explanation should have bee sent to you immediately after the editing.

Your original title was click bait...

As a mod, I have to edit LOTS of threads for various reasons. If I delete a thread, I let the OP know what's going on and why. But as much work as it is to even keep the threads in order none of us can send a personal message every time we make an edit or whatever.

BTW, I did not change your thread title, but I did watch that video. What a waste!

I did fix the spelling of it though, and moved this to the correct subforum: Feedback

You've got to click on it to find out what it is.. kinda like Nancy Peloski and the health bill fiasco. I hate that.

A major title change deserved a PM. After all, the OP started a new thread about it.
Minor corrections, no.

So you corrected the spelling in the title of this thread ?

I'm starting a thread called "Don't you hate it when"...

Yes sir!

 

[Velzey]

cencored!

 

[Quartermaster]

I'd avoid clickbait titles.

 

[Medic!]

Yes it's true.

They've made me say terrible things.
