I feel this way, posts can be hijacked after becoming trendy to be replaced with ads, or there could be other ways to exploit this. If there was a title in the typo, then it’s easy to delete the post and re-publish it. But what could be use cases of having to edit a post title after publishing? Just add edits in the post body.

What do you think?

    I think it’s generally a bad idea to eliminate a potentially useful feature because some people might abuse it.

    It seems to me that far and away the better choice is to leave the feature in place along with some way to deal with those who do abuse it if and when they do.

    And conveniently enough, deletion and bans - both of which are already within an instance owner’s power - are ways to deal with, respectively, threads that have been maliciously edited and those who edit them.
