Emne: Correct our posts

Hi.

There're several advantages for paid membership, one of them is correct our posts when we detect some mistake.
However, i think that option should be allowed to all players, because the question is become our post more clear to everybody...

Undertaker.: I agree with you.

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Undertaker.: there is a reason for not being capable to edit post for pawns, and if a pawn wants it edited/deleted, they can have a moderator do it for them

Vikings: What is the reason?

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

grenv: I suppose Vikings has told you the reason in a personal message. Can you please share it with the rest of us?

11. Februar 2011, 03:01:39

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

grenv: The reason is that without the possibility for a pawn to edit (or in other words get rid of the evidence), there is a less likely chance that a paying member will create a pawn account to make a post that they wouldn't as a paying member as it could result in a ban on their paid membership

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Vikings: Look, espionage and intrigue aside (sounds like nonsense paranoia to me)...

If you can post a message you should be able to edit it... after all the alternative is to simply add a second message correcting the first, which is kind of clumssssy

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

grenv:
Agreed, sounds complete nonsense. How would a paying member cover his tracks by creating a pawn account, writing something defamatory and then deleting it, as opposed to writing it under their own name and then deleting it?

11. Februar 2011, 14:14:15

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Justaminute: yep - and anyway it's just a little game site, what could anyone possibly say here that is defamatory that actually matters in real life? lol

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

grenv: It happened plenty of times, which is why Fencer did it, in the first place. It wasn't always this way.

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

rod03801: right, but he forgot to disallow deleting, so it is not effective in what it intended.

11. Februar 2011, 18:15:15

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

grenv: Unless I'm mistaken, pawns cannot delete either. Of course it's been a LONG time since I was a pawn.

11. Februar 2011, 23:19:15

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

rod03801: I deleted. I am a pawn. Therefore pawns can delete. QED :)

and therefore not allowing editing achieves zero benefit, and I guess really zero problems since pawns can delete and rewrite in lieu of editing, so we can all go back to our lives now.

Vikings: 23 benefits for upgrading to a bishop

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Vikings: I didn't upgrade... i think this is a bug.

12. Februar 2011, 05:36:02

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

grenv: more than likely someone has paid for your membership, it has happened often to people here, and after 8 years, you probably have someone who enjoys your company enough to upgrade you

nice bug anyway if it is a bug...

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

rod03801:
But why does it assist a paid member to create a pawn account, write a defamatory remark and delete it over doing the same thing with their main account? Unless such remarks can’t be tracked by pawns I don’t follow how this assists?

Justaminute: its not rocket science

11. Februar 2011, 18:16:07

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Justaminute: We're telling you it happened. It's not imaginary. Fencer didn't just randomly change it.

11. Februar 2011, 18:32:02

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

rod03801:
I'm not questioning that it happened. I'm asking how this benefits the member?

11. Februar 2011, 19:15:57

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Justaminute: It's pretty clear. There are rules on this site. People were breaking the rules. This was a way to minimize it. I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand, or why it should be so bothersome to a non-pawn.

11. Februar 2011, 19:48:08

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

rod03801: Its “bothersome” because a pawn made what seems to me to be a reasonable request and there has not been a reasonable response, other than what amount to “because I say so”. Are you saying that we should not support others unless we are in the same group? Don’t consider the handicapped for example unless you have the same problem?

Tilpasset af rod03801 (11. Februar 2011, 19:52:10)

Justaminute: Well no, it's because Fencer says so. And you were told the reasons. You're being a bit dramatic about the whole thing.
Frankly, it's a good rule. Some of us saw the problems it caused before it was the case.

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

There's no reason not to allow anyone to edit a post up until the point where someone else has replied to it. Then the post should not be edited (unless by a mod to fix some profanity, etc.).

It's simple.

I can do it in a comment in a game, why not on a discussion board?

Some of the rules here don't make sense.

Justaminute: And why should he want to bother to delete it? that's why he was writing under a nick to start with.

Vikings: So everyone is guilty until proven innocent and those who are innocent have to suffer because of a few!!

Far better to have a system that just logs all posts as they are posted/edited. Plus that stops the posting of nasty posts by a few who then delete them!!

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Undertaker.: I agree. We should all be able to edit and delete. It could be a simple spelling mistake as I make often so why should not pawns be allowed to correct. We dont all have English as a first languge. English is not my language either.

Emne: Re: Correct our posts

Mousetrap: The odd thing is if you remember, MEMBERS never used to be able to edit the Tournaments they created WITHOUT administrator approval, BUT after many years that seems to have been put to sleep.

That seemed crazy to a lot of us
