An Amazon affiliate website is not needed to explain this. ------ mooism2 This has nothing to do with wordpress passwords. ~~~ mooism2 A comment pointing that out would have been better than deleting the post. ~~~ pokoleo You didn't even understand the link... EDIT: And for any others that might read this post, yes, this is a WordPress/Wordpress.com related question, whether or not that was known. ~~~ mooism2 I understood the link perfectly, thank you. ~~~ pokoleo I did that so that others will also understand the link. But, the title on HN should've been improved. ~~~ mooism2 I understand why you submitted it, and why I agreed with your reason for doing so. I disagree that the title should have been changed. People are more likely to click on a link that says "How to hack wordpress passwords" than one that says "Wordpress.com passwords are easy to hack". There's no question what this link is about. It could be the title. ------ jolan From "Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or adding a parenthetical remark saying how great an article is. It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important." ------ pokoleo The title could be improved upon; it's not as common knowledge as most think. ------ pjscott This is something many people don't know, because it's not very well known. ~~~ pokoleo The best thing to do is to correct the title... not delete the post. ~~~ pjscott It got changed. ~~~ pokoleo I'm glad it got changed. Now let's see some of us HN members correct the title of this post... ~~~ pjscott I'm all for that. The point of the guideline you're trying to make is sound enough; it doesn't need to be applied in every case. ------ pokoleo This comment has been heavily flagged. This was not meant to be so controversial, but the title has been changed and I'm not going to fight that.
