Changing titles of threads

zogoto · 12-20-2006, 09:06 PM

Is it possible at all to change the titles of threads? Like if we had a moderator do it or something. That sounds like something that would be against CC policy. The RSI 2007 thread has a title of "Research Summer Institute 2007."

It's Research Science Institute.

I mean, this bothers me a little, but more importantly, it's harder to search for (for new people searching for RSI on CC, like I once did 3 years ago), and it might not be as apparent on Google (but I think it is anyway). The RSI thread is one of CC's only long-lasting, serious threads (by serious I mean a thread that isn't a game, or discussion about some philosophical topic, although those are important too), so I think it should have the proper title. Some RSI 2006 kid just made a typo and now we all have to pay.

Moderators can change the titles, and often do so without being asked if they spot a bad one or hard to understand one. We don't correct every typo... but if you see one that needs to be changed, use the "report post" feature in the first post in the thread and we'll take a look.
