We think we are forcing users to avoid too short titles.
But we are in fact forcing other users to use too long titles.
It’s all a cultural bias.
And no, please don’t say “they should contact their admin to adjust it.”
The root of the cultural bias is right here at Discourse.com.
A lack of sensitivity.
Also easy to fix. Count characters differently.
But who cares. Not a big problem in the “markets we cover.”
