Was this title changed to [2011] only once it hit the front-page?

I was on the forum reading the post with no date context, I thought it was "yesterday", up until I refreshed the home.

Is this a common approach to get historical stuff on the home? Post an extraordinary title and let it rise to then rename it to the fact that it is historical?



Same happened with me. i thought this happened last night. (lets not forget this is a NEWS site, so expecting posts about CURRENT events is the default modus operandi)


Submitter puts in whatever, then when a mod notices it the title often gets changed.


Mods edit titles all the time.


Or well, you know, it got the attention of any mod once it reached the front-page.
