Anyone else noticed that Min's absent for a week?

Okay, so this is really about quality control of titles. I can see why that might be desirable, but I have a lot of reservations about whether implementing this rule is worth whatever little will be gained from it.

I'm just giving my opinion here. I'm aware my opinion doesn't matter ultimately, but I feel I should be allowed to give it anyway.

1) Could be seen as patronizing and insulting. I can understand why Min left, as this is clearly going to impact him a lot. As far as I can tell, this was based on... one person moaning a bit on the forum? And a change is made that is very pointed towards one of the most valued members of the community, telling him his titles aren't good enough. I know rules in general need to be independent of members, but there has to be a line somewhere. This is something that should have been seen coming, and the justification feels extremely weak.

2) Highly subjective. Who is to say what is enough information? Some people just suck at writing things in general. Other things make topic titles harder to read, such as typos, meaningless drivel and bad formatting. This seems rather an arbitrary choice.

3) This doesn't seem at all in line with the "free speech" values. Nor is it in line with "Just put people on ignore if you don't like their posts".

4) Quality control... is a slippery slope. What's next? Cows fucking arm chairs? This is worse than Hitler.

Thanks for reading! If you read this far. If you didn't, then fuck you! You can't be insulted, because you didn't read this far. So I win.
