HN posts have limits on title length. In such cases, it’s not unusual to post the original title as a comment.


HN seems to remove certain adjectives and, I guess, adverbs to minimize the sensationalizing of the titles (I assume). I was surprised by it recently when a title I submitted got "Massive" auto-removed even though length maximum was respected. Made the title more humdrum, but I can understand the rationale.
