There is something that's bugged me about ENWorld for a long, long time. I speak of the moderators' ability-- and willingness-- to go in and edit someone else's post. At best it seems disrespectful, and at worst it seems disingenuous and quite easy to abuse.
I understand that the board has rules and expectations of its posters, and that we all agreed to a EULA or something similar when we joined, but just the same editing someone else's words just feels inherently wrong to me.
I honestly don't expect anyone to care about my complaint, and really I'm just venting, but in the infinitesimally off chance that someone does care, here's what I'd suggest: Just delete the post entirely, leaving a note that a post was there and has been deleted and why. Still serves the purpose of enforcing the board's rules, but it's in my mind far less morally ambiguous. I know that I personally would prefer something I posted deleted wholesale rather than have someone go in and "clean it up."
