[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 5083014, member: 6562"] This is all I mean about not being able to post as both at once: it's got to be unambiguous when you're talking in "mod-voice" and when you're just posting as a normal dude. You just can't use both "voices" at once: either you speak for the site policy as an enforcer -- in which case questioning your pronouncements is to be avoided -- or you speak as a normal dude whose opinions must stand on their merits. It could work like this: 1/ Only mod-level accounts get [red] and [orange] translated into HTML colors; and 2/ When a mod-level account edits a post, that post cannot be edited by lower level accounts. That should cover all corner cases. - - - However, the thing that sets "mod-voice" apart from regular voice need not be red text! It just needs to be visually distinct, and unavailable to regular users -- and IMHO it would be nice if it were easy to spot when skimming a thread. Maybe use background colors instead of foreground? Black text on yellow, black text on orange? Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
