What do you think of this suggested edit?
My thoughts:
- It's bouncing an old question, so it ought to be worth it.
- One could go through every question about Jewish practice and append something like this. One probably shouldn't.
- If the tag was on there, such a disclaimer would be there in the tag's popup text, for what it's worth, but that tag is not on there.
- This is not the sort of question that will end up with dead people or inadvertent adultery if people follow bad advice from answers, so I don't think it warrants extra-special care.
 
@IsaacMoses ... including non-halacha questions (which this one may be) and even non-practice questions.
@IsaacMoses In light of ^that and your thoughts above, I think reject.
 
@msh210 Your edit successfully removes the status of RfP from the question, so I'll remove my VtC. I thought we generally liked to make the OP make the change in cases like this, to make sure they get the message that we're not just playing games with pronouns - they shouldn't use this as pesak.
(... a practice I deviated from here since OP already acknowledged explicitly in the question that it's not for pesak)
@msh210 OK. Thanks for the review.
@msh210 Should we make the title more specific? It's too vague to be useful for identifying what the question's about now. If we're willing to deal with a subject in the question body, shouldn't we be willing to have the title reflect that, or are there different tzeniut standards to apply?

@IsaacMoses Yabbut I not just changed pronouns but removed "It's not that it happens often, it's that when it happens" so hopefully he'll get the point.
 
@IsaacMoses Personally, I think the title should be less vague.
 
@IsaacMoses judaism.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/21631 . I rejected it because the question is about NPT only, not "similar circumstances" (and because the title became no clearer, since "NPT" is afaik a rare term).
@unforgettableid Me too, but I don't think the proposed edit accomplished that.
 
@msh210 "May a man say Modeh Ani in this condition?" would be better, but would still be too vague.
 
@msh210 FTR, I've never heard of "NPT."
 
@unforgettableid I agree.
@IsaacMoses Nor I. @unforgettableid

@IsaacMoses "nocturnal penile tumescence". It's a term that doctors use. Ordinary people tend to say "morning wood".
 
Gtg. Good Shabas.
 
@unforgettableid There are less informal ways to say the same thing that don't resort to medical jargon
@msh210 You, too.
 
@msh210 good shabbos!
 
(Or perhaps, the correct response would be "Yours, too.")

@NickAlexeev I added a comment to the 220-volt appliance question telling the asker where else he might be able to ask such questions in the future. There's a sub-Reddit for everything.
@IsaacMoses Ways to say the same thing? Which ways?
 
@unforgettableid maybe "erection upon waking up"
 
@IsaacMoses maybe a not-safe-for-work phrase.
@IsaacMoses "morning stiffness"? Though that sounds like it might also mean "arthritis which is worse in the morning".
 
@unforgettableid It's in the question body.
 
@IsaacMoses If you're at work, you don't have to click on that question.
 
@unforgettableid But how would you know whether to click on it or not if the title isn't clear?
 
6:11 PM
@IsaacMoses ah. Fair point.
