wow... did just about EVERYONE miss the point. And it took me 20 seconds to write the post, hardly "sitting around for hours" complaining.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM IF THEY DELETE MY POST - GO FOR IT - JUST DO NOT EDIT WHAT I AM SAYING, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT.
The post that caused me to start this thread contained no vulgarity, no false information, but one of the mods thought it was "rude" and edited it. My point is, if it really rubbed him the wrong way he should just delete it, I DON'T WANT OTHER PEOPLE CHANGING MY WORDS. I even said in my post "I can be a **** from time to time," its not like I'm not acknowledging my own part!!!!!
I think in 99% of the cases the mods probably do WAY more good than harm, but the very idea that they can edit or change your post is abusive in my mind. It gives them the power to misrepresent what others are saying. I'm not even saying that's what happened in this case, but I have a real problem with it conceptually. Why do I have to leave this forum??? Why can't I point out something that might help it??? Shoot I think the very mod who edited my post already said just about the same thing IN THIS THREAD.
wow, could you guys kiss up a little more???? Sorry... that was RUDE
Just to set the record straight...I was the Mod that edited the OPs post.
I did not change the meaning at all. Just took out something I thought rude to another member.
I made a call, and stand by it. Whenever I even begin to question whether I should, I always contact other staff first. As I know the other Mods do all the time.
Nothing is done on a whim.
Not at AC.
