I suggest not to change titles of posts just because the moderator thinks that he can offer a better title.
And yes know the rules say the moderators have the final say. In that case , I request that they put (changed by "moderator's name) after they change it so that it is not misrepresented as something the original poster wrote.
Thanks.

Thank you for your suggestion but title/post/thread are moderated to make the site more efficient. It is not a matter of creative expression or who writes a better title but just easier for users to know what is the thread's content going to be.

I would rather you delete my post if you don't agree with the title rather than changing it and letting people believe that it is my own words. That is grossly misleading.

I've got to take indianstallion's side in this. It's understandable if you're changing a title/thread/posts with explicit content. Also understandable if you don't want people using vulgarities etc.
But, just to make the site more efficient? I know that's good in a way, makes for quick reading. But forumers can choose to either ignore the thread totally because they can't be bothered what the content is, or they might be curious and click it. It'll only waste us a couple of seconds if we click on an ambiguous thread title and find the content boring and click to go back out into the main board.
I also understand that you're a moderator and that you have the right to do whatever you want with this site. So yea, this is just a suggestion.

Maybe the suggestion would make more sense if the OP could point out what he found in the new title that did not correctly reflect the old title....or why he was offended...

It's the fact that you are changing what someone else says. If you feel a need to edit what other people say then you ought to put some indication that it has been edited. Otherwise you are misrepresenting that person.

Thank you widdly, that's exactly what I mentioned in my first post. You want to change it , fine, you have complete control over this site, i can live with that. But let people know that you did change it so that they know that it has been changed and it does not reflect the original poster's words.
But apparently that is still too much to ask!
