There is a rule against submitters editing titles to be more sensationalist, but in this case, the submitter copied the submission's title verbatim.

I don't think that is true. There have been cases in the recent past where the mods changed titles because they were overly sensational, even if they were the original title.

Well, the guidelines say:

> [Please] use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

This sounds like the submitter MAY tone it down, with "MAY" like in RFC 2119.
