Over-engineering to solve a problem that doesn't exist, thereby making one.

sure…what’s the motivation? is this seriously that difficult of a question to answer? this “solution” was put in place for a reason, what’s the reason? does nobody actually know?

Someone was annoyed by certain cliche titles I guess. They also remove numbers.

So if you post "1850 Bloody Island Massacre" it removes the number. But it is meant to remove eg. "13 reasons why you should impeac[...]" B/c apparently the number of reasons why is too much of a cliche or bother? Idk.

Email dang haha
