FWIW, the submitter of a post can edit the title even after the “fixer” runs.



I've actually edited the title back to the original title after the "fixer" changed it. But it's been later "fixed" again. Looks like there's sometimes a second pass of fixing after which edits are no longer possible.


That relies on them spotting it, caring about it, knowing that they can edit it and not worried about undoing an automod operation.


Yeah — I’m not suggesting it’s perfect. Just highlighting what’s possible, since I didn’t discover that capability myself until like 3 weeks ago..!
