Message: [QUOTE="Famine, post: 11815502, member: 9036"] [B][COLOR=indigo]Oh, I thought you'd gone.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]Only a certain kind of person.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]And yet with direct oversight from the only person whose opinion actually matters on the topic, I've been doing it for about a decade. Oh well.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]Other than making people who haven't seen the race click on it because it sounds interesting.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]Other than knowing they were close, that headline gives [I]no information whatsoever[/I] about how they played out.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]I don't think we'd quite format it that way this year, with the forum plugin, but yes, sure, if it was decided on the last lap we'd make a point of getting that into the title. No question about it.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]If you're the kind of person who only thinks the result matters, I'm sure you'd be bothered by knowing you only have to watch the last lap if the last lap decided it. But then if you're that sort of person you wouldn't bother with the previous three (or 24) hours anyway. This race had more interesting things going on throughout it, and how it ended up at 0.344s in the end (and only 3s back to 3rd) is at least as interesting as the fact that it did. Spoiler alert.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]Yeah, I think the ass-ship sailed with the theatrical *sigh*, :rolleyes: and abuse of the staff in place of politeness and reason.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=indigo]Yes, it is. Our news titles are being formatted to be as engaging as possible, with as little specific information as is possible, for consumption both on this site and on social media. We had a couple of early hiccups, as we weren't used to the behaviour of the forum plug-in, but how it is now is how it is going to be. You don't have to like it and your objection has been noted, by everyone on the editorial team. So. About that race then.[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
