Links? Censoring would be editing posts wouldn't it?

But how are we to know a post has been edited, and by whom...?

Nevyn

Can some one edit that sig please.

Your sig simultaneously arouses and blinds. Much like ****.

If its edited after 30seconds it shows up who edited it.

I think mods can do a silent edit if they want.

Only smods can. A mod can,if we edit a post and click don't show sig,but its only for each post,and only works in our own forums

From my experience if you are quick like a ninja admin it doesn't show who edited it.

Someone had wanna get on to an Smod. Is there a light that we can beam into the sky to get their attention ? Or should we scream at the top of our voices from a tall building in distress? :pac:

It's ok to censor but not edit... ?!
With all due respect: What are you banging on about? Link and explain. Make it rhyme too.

They usually check random feedback threads about completely different issues to see if someone has complained about a signature.

Whatever you do, don't post in the Sigpo thread or PM the Smods. You'll never get their attention that way.

That's too easy. Haiku or nothing OP.

I think I'd agree with the buffoon's sentiment if not phrasing. If you need to stop someone from posting then ban/delete, but in principle I agree that changing what someone says is a bad thing.

I've never seen this on boards though so I don't know what the christ he's going on about.

I'd agree that editing someone's post isn't a good idea for a mod, but back it up with links/evidence or I'll close this thread.

And you never will be with that kind of defeatist attitude.

Positive thinking and anything is possible. We believe in you.

Hey Windsock ~

Your avatar looks very familiar. Haven't I seen it somewhere before?? Hmmm

Ahh but that was my point in the question you see :pac:

It's hard to get away with it unless you have the reflexes of a cat.

Not sure if this is related but I wrote a visitor message on a friends page. When I went to the profile recently my message is still up, although the name of the poster has changed (from me to someone else). Should I report it. That's pretty low if you ask me.

Report it. Theres a report post option for visitor messages.

Well, as there is no real explaination as to what this thread is about, I'm closing it.

I am also of the opinion that Mods should try not to edit comments, rather they should soft delete them so they can be accessed in the future if needed.
