Sorry if anyone considers this spam. I don't, since it's 100% to Charity - and they're even matching $300,000.


The part that's flag-worthy is the submitted link label, which is currently "Humble FREEDOM Bundle – HUGE List of Games, 100% to Charity."

The page title is actually "Humble Freedom Bundle (pay what you want and help charity)." Given that, the title you chose is link-bait and/or editorializing.


It's certainly not editorializing -- it clearly states at the top of the page that "100% goes to charity." The list of games is also far greater in size than any other Humble Bundle I've seen, so 'huge' is also accurate. As for the link-bait accusation, it seems to me that the original title was more descriptive than the one you insisted on.

A simple "please use the original title" would have sufficed.


Just the word "huge" would be fairly subjective, but your comment ignores that "HUGE" was in all caps. That makes it seem a lot more like trying to attract attention than any neutral summary of the content.


Updated.
