  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

I don't think it's "psychopathic" for anyone to work the system to their advantage. On the contrary, it's quite rational & it'd be kinda daft not to: we all should be making the most of the system we're given. If we don't want people doing that, then we shouldn't have a system that lets them. It means we should fix broken rules.
