I'm entirely new here, but considering that I have seen this particular thread by way of a question that was apparent enough what was being asked through context of the question itself I may have at least an outsider's perspective.

IfAs with what happened in this question (note, accepted answer now also deleted), if OP selects a particular answer as correct that also specifically states or iterates what system is being referred to, then clearly OP was inquiring as to that particular system.

I have been here less than 6 hours already at time of posting and have noticed that mods (or whomever) are more than willing to edit titles of posts if they feel it could contribute to overall clarification of intent of question, and don't see a reason as to why rather than putting a question on hold just before or just after an answer and having everyone downvote until deletion is accepted as more reasonable than editing the title to properly reflect what is expected.

I get that one-off OPs that won't come back or won't even bother clicking accept on an answer can be troublesome, but if the effort is already being put in by the mods to edit posts then why not let ones that have already been asked and accepted as answered live on for future reference so the question may not need be asked again?
