[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3509671, member: 35788"] So, how long until that post get's edited by Rel? :p Back on topic, I also agree with mods deleting or chopping but not rewording. As has been stated earlier ... a post may contain good info and only one part that is spoiling the rest. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! To the OP, don't think of editing as necessarily a bad thing. It isn't always because people intentionally stepped out of line. Sometimes, like the example above, the mods are there to protect people who don't know any better. [No offense indended, Jdvn1] It's true what they say ... "The mods protect the fools and the innocent." Sometimes posters do stuff wrong innocently. Piratecat stepped in and corrected me once, and I wasn't aware that I was doing anything wrong. Now that I know, I haven't done it again. That's the innocent part. Sometimes people's posts deserve to get edited because their having a "bad-poster" moment. That's the fools part. That's the mods take out modding stick part. :p So long as I see the mods in the light of "protecting the fools and the innocent" and keeping the site functioning like a well-oiled machine, I give them the props they deserve. And yes, I expect to see one of the various mods pick up my "The mods protect the fools and the innocent" quote, get a swelled head, and insert it into a sig somewhere. :p [/QUOTE]
