Can we get some type of cap on post editing?

I understand the idea of being able to edit posts to correct grammar, spelling, and clarification... to a point. Most forums have a cap that doesn't allow you to edit after ~15minutes though.

There seem to be a rash of magically re-appearing and disappearing posts and threads lately though.

From my standpoint the issue comes to be a damage done, post made, mud-slung, but now it's gone so I don't know what you're talking about.

Specificly I'm not referring to admin deletion or moderating of threads but rather the ability to go back to a post and pull a "ninja poof" vanish or change the post.

Perhaps done to elicit a reaction, leave the reactive posts in place, and then look innocent.

Regardless it would be nice to have a degree of stability to posts and threads.

My impression was that Xian was adminning primarily for the purpose of backend issues. Additionally I try not to put him in any situations that might be a conflict of interest.

I'd posted it here so that I could be shot down by the member base and informed of why that would be a bad idea if that were the case.

The suggestion was made to push for less fluctuation in threads and a more stable board.

I was actually unaware that you were officially a mod. Looking at the moderator list in the link here:
http://www.dsmcentral.com/invision/index.p...ts&CODE=leaders

Your name was not present until today. Although when I click on it now you appear to have added it.

I have never abused or even used my admin powers for the purpose of forum moderation.

There have only been two times that i have used the powers for stuff other than back end help, Once when spy kept changing KOU In3's user account, and once when Spy posted a Private Message from me.

yes spy, you're always fighting everyone... or atleast someone.



I was just explaining that while I do have the powers to make post editing go away, and that to your suggestion I could do it... That forum moderation is not the reason marcus gave me those powers that are greater than yours.

that is why i am green and you are red. mwuahahahahahaha

Oh snap, the admins are breakdance fighting.

Haha, yes spy.. It's me... becuase i'm green.

a. are you sure you unlocked it this morning?

I have a phone call verified by verizon from Travis asking me how come it was locked... at about 8:30 pm...

b. If i wanted to **** with you via my green powers, i would just blow you away.


c. I'll tell you what, you can call marcus, and I'm sure he'll vouch for my moral integrity with my green powers.

d.





wow, so it looks like your the busy one around here. more appreciation should be thrown your way for your, 10x more moderation activity than anyone else.

and just how so spyguy?

by undoing the account changes you made to a paid vendor of the site?

by answering questions that ask why something is locked? to which my answer was that it's probally spy up to something?

I guess overall this contributes to my comment on editing.

I'm not clear on exactly if this goes beyond general post editing or if there is some mod-war I've accidently opened Pandora's box on.

I was just hoping for some stability where forum discussions are moderated by the mods and threads and posts are stable to some degree.

initial cost or estimated value? lol.. sorry spy, i had to it was there.
