Dunno about a mod judgment, but as a troper I'd say that Stop Hitting Yourself is a much better title than the one that's currently in use. The litmus test for a dialog-based title is whether people are likely to confuse the line of dialog for the trope, and in this case I don't believe that to be likely.

Um, actually another litmus test is whether you need to construct the sentence around the trope name. If the trope name causes significant contortion, it's likely a bad name.
