Hi,

I recently experienced [multiple](https://meta.discourse.org/t/error-is-green-and-entirely-devoid-of-details/129599/2) [frustrations](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-doesnt-work-if-one-of-the-posts-is-deleted/129600/2) moving posts to a new topic. This was the icing:

 ![Selection_717](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/6/763362a1f67fd311bac0dd92a3cf7c30c715faa6.jpeg)

First, only people with high trust levels (only moderators?) get access to this function, so I kinda feel like if the forum owners trust me maybe Discourse should too.

But okay, we’re all human and sometimes a second pair of eyes (real or virtual) is needed.

But the really frustrating things here are:

- There’s no option to “post anyway”. [insert reiteration of trust argument] I _must_ make a change in order to be able to finalize my operation.
- What’s the standard? What do I have to do to get past this filter? There is absolutely no indication of the actual requirements. From previous experience with this filter I **know** it’s not about having both a subject and a verb. I _suspect_ it’s about length, and that suspicion is bolstered by the version that was actually deemed acceptable, “Error at SQ startup”

P.S. Bonus points! I guess the requirement is 15 characters. At least the new post form tells me explicitly that my first title for this thread, “Title quality?”, is too short!
