I don't know how long the rule has been around, but I know it was put in place back when these kinds of threads were more common, which made it more annoying. Personally, I'm pretty apathetic about it as long as it's not happening all the time... but, we can't just enforce it when we think it's happening too often... so, IMO, a good middle ground for these 'misleading but not fake' threads is to simply change the title and send a warning as long as it's not someone who's constantly doing the same thing... and maybe screw with them a little.
