Per HN policy, stop editorializing the headlines.

Here's the actual headline:

> Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don’t rewrite an Iran missile story

HN also forces editorializing to less than 81 characters. I too sometimes struggle to editorialize the title to something that fits and ideally does not lose context.

> Polymarket gamblers threaten to kill me over Iran missile story

These carry the same meaning. No editorializing happened.

I’d suggest that you brush up on HN character limits before playing hall monitor.

That original headline is longer than what HN accepts. What editorialized message are you accusing the shorter "Polymarket gamblers threaten to kill me over Iran missile story" of inserting?
