On: What would you like to see most in minix? (1991)

I think we need somebody to update the title every second or so...

[TeMPOraL → felixr]

Maybe that will keep moderators busy enough so that they won't have time to break^H^H^H^H^Hedit titles of other submissions. </sarcasm>

[jacquesm → TeMPOraL]

'improve' is the word you are looking for.

[wging → jacquesm]

Sometimes titles are improved by moderator intervention--other times it's the opposite. Sometimes titles lose bias, but sometimes they become inaccurate or generic-to-the-point-of-madness.

[Thrymr → wging]

I would argue that this title could be improved, quite a bit.

edit: The original title was "22 years 16 hours 48 minutes 25 seconds ago". It has now been improved (IMO).

Exactly,

""" 'improve' """

(with sarcasm quotes intact) is exactly the word many would use to describe moderation on HN.
