Interesting, I didn't think it was something amenable to a technical solution!

I apoologize for the lack of clarity but the problem I fixed was a little different to what you were pointing to - though it often crosses over.

Formerly you could create a post without a subject and the start of the article text was then used automatically as the subject. In the spirit of removing as many barriers as possible.

Occasionally that was occuriny with quite a few posts created without a subject, so the subject was slightly meaningless and nearly always incomplete.

I changed that yesterday so that the subject is explicitly requested if you try to post without it.

That doesn’t solve the specific problem you saw, though, in which a subject is typed incomprehensibly. I’d need a “good taste” detector which is pretty hard to programme (but gosh I’d love someone to invent one for purposes well beyond Shrewd’m).
