Your nitpicking isn't helping anyone.

Nitpicking? I had no idea what this submission was even about. I thought maybe Google, the company, was hacked by outsiders. That was my best guess. Or even "Google hacked" could imply "Hacked by Google", I don't even know.

The current title is ambiguous at best; just plain misleading/sensational at worse - especially now reading that this is really about just one person losing access to their Gmail.

EDIT: In case the title does get changed, the original title that I'm looking at right now is "Google hacked account". This is what I woke up to this morning --- http://i.imgur.com/vWJ41ck.png

It's just so not important.. from the content of the guys submission it strikes me that English may not be his first language.. he's here asking for help with a problem and the top response he gets is some ass berating him over the wording of his title.

But oh right, you woke up this morning and the sky was falling, all because you had to take an extra 30 seconds to actually read the fucking post

It didn't really sound like kazinator was berating in their reply. It actually sounded rather helpful. Please be more mindful when replying to people here. Less tendency to jump to vitriol would be helpful.

Did it occur to you that he might get more help, from people in the know, if the link actually indicated that he needed help?

It would be helpful to many who will misinterpret and be visiting now that the thread is on front page.
