[theme-reviewers] Post with No Title

[SFNdesign]

That certainly wasn't the only issue. I suggested that they add a theme option so the end user could adjust the text or turn the feature off. I also suggested that it get listed as a feature that reminds bloggers they didn't use a title and that it would be a good idea to figure out how to provide a link to single post views if the feature has been turned off.

But as Cais said, I also don't think it would be a reason to fail the Theme. At most, I would designate a more suitable default text as "Required, but can be fixed in the next revision".

While it does fulfill the requirement to provide a links to the single view of the post I'm not sure that this is really the proper way to do it. Opinions?
