The HN guidelines ask you to please use the original title unless it is misleading or linkbait. Your rewritten title was arguably more misleading and more linkbaity. That&#x27;s exactly the opposite of what we&#x27;re looking for.<p>We don&#x27;t let people use submission titles to editorialize. If you have a point to argue, such as that a law effectively makes ex-cons unemployable, you should argue it by commenting in the thread, where everyone is on a level playing field. Otherwise the submitter of a story would get to frame it for everyone else, a huge undue influence over the discussion.
