Tight. So just so I'm clear, what's to stop vote brigading ruining this system?

Vindicator ago

It's not based on votes. Mods will still remove stuff that doesn't meet the guidelines, even if it's been voted up. We've been doing this anyway. But there will now be ample opportunity for people to fix everything but headlines. Those will still have to be removed to be fixed. Not sure how that will work. But this is a start.

Edit: Editing above to include your observation in the Cons. I didn't think of it.

You could edit in a new headline at the top of the submission and then flair the post Edited Title. That way users know that the post has been edited and stayed up, but that the title is not correct.

What do you think of this plan? So far, titles are the one wrench in the Removal Reprieve. Think this would pose any problems?

Totally agree. I'd really love it if we were able to establish the possibility to edit headlines on Voat, with mod approval.

Two thoughts:

1) Headlines should reflect content, so users can choose what they'd like to read accordingly. To let posts stay, instead of edit and re-post, would make this more difficult, as users would have to look into posts.

2) Shills still would have a feast day when providing clickbaity headlines

3) pro: endless discussion with users, like yesterday, would stop
