Stories are community property; the first person to submit a story doesn't "own" it, and shouldn't have a special right to editorialize the submission.
Can't there be a sensible middle ground between slavishly copying the title from the source and editorializing? Consider this video of Alan Kay's Turing Award lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymF94cFfzUQ&list=PLn0nrSd4xjj... The title is "Turing Award Lecture". Is it really editorializing if it were to be submitted as "Alan Kay Delivers His Turing Award Lecture"?
No, it's not. But that's not how the feature would actually end up getting used, is it? If you could design a simple feature that would resist abuses, 'pg would probably consider it.

How about allowing the submitter to optionally add a one line explanation if he thinks the title is not clear?
