the ability to edit titles is great. But the ability to edit the URL of a post is dangerous. (self.lemmy)

Reminds me of a long time ago when GameSpot and GameFAQs forums merged. GameSpot users had the ability to edit titles so they would have threads like "what's your shoe size?" Then they would change the title to something like "how old are you?" to get the GameFAQs posters banned (due to the minimum age requirements)
