But it's never been fair game to editorialize the headlines on story submissions here.

I don't understand your comment about editorializing headlines. The process of editorializing is making changes after the copy has been submitted. And, that's what happened to both the headline and original url that I submitted.

I submitted a link to this url[1] via bookmarklet. I trimmed extra headline cruft, and clicked "submit". The community upvoted it to #1, after you posted your comment, an unknown mod changed/editorialized the headline to remove references to DDG, and changed the url to this[2], which is pretty crap content IMHO, that I would never submit. I don't get that.

I'll stop this meta discussion, because it's really not that productive and uninteresting.

No, it's not.
