That's my impression, though
Hardly seems like a reason for closing a thread that had a healthy discussion going.
I would have to agree. Not with the specific instance per se, as the guidelines were set down quite clearly by the backroom staff, but with the general policy itself. Misleading, offensive or completely nonsensical titles I can understand being shutdown without ceremony. But in this case, surely just a quick edit of the title was all that was required -- a trivial thing with AJAX -- rather than forcing someone to repost the entire thread along with any relevant discussion from the previous thread. Even just merging the old and the new thread, keeping the newer, more informative title, would be preferable to needless thread proliferation of this kind.
