The meta description does not need to have the title included with the description. Here is an example:

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lvgridiron.com%2Fpage%2Farticles.html%2F_%2Fleague-news%2Fwinter-2012-13-awards-voting-r15

As you can see, the title has it's own tag, it is not necessary to repopulate that same data in the description field. The result is a messy paragraph in the body when posting on Facebook.

Managing and posting articles was a big selling point for IPBoard for me, so this is critical. Seems like a simple issue to fix. Please have this changed or at least as an option in the next version.

Please submit a bug report

Sorry about that, wrong spot.

This is not a bug, but we will consider the feedback for future updates nevertheless.
