The decision the mods are going to take will leave you speechless.
Bots hate these 5 moderator tricks
Mods vote no! Reason #4 will shock you!!
It should also require a summary in the body of the post.
This would also be helpful
I only joined the mag as a mod 2 weeks ago but i havent seen too many clickbaity titles. Got rid of 1 anyway. I try not to post it if its like that and I post the full body description.
It’s automated copy and paste generated titles from the article, nothing clickbait
You can actually change the title when you post a link from a site though.
Who has time for that?
People who want to serve their audience.
lol no one is claiming the users are turning it into clickbait.
Almost all clickbait titles are written by the website it's posted on. And 99.9999% of titles of an article about a game that don't include the name of the game are clickbait.
Got examples? I feel like there were a handful of users submitting the offending articles, probably a site that user is affiliated with, and because the moderators had no rules against it, I just ended up having to block those users. I'm not seeing a lot of clickbait, personally.
The great part about Lemmy is I'm pretty sure we can even edit titles after they've been made. So no need to resubmit
