And here we see the other side of not being able to change (editorialize) titles. I can see both sides of the argument, but I think this example forms a good reason to disallow giving articles different titles.

You can downmod comments (and flag them too!), but you can only flag submissions no matter how much karma you have, which is why you've never seen a story with <= 0 points!
