Pointless post

I've been doing some bug spotting for Jamesy on the latest version (the one we want to put on these forums) and they are pretty much done now.

It's a large update and could take some time, so Jin needs to set some time aside for it and at the moment he's told me end of next week.

Until now, we have been waiting for the specific version to be released, this has now happened and it's looking all good to go, so you should be able to hold me to that quote.

maybe they would be approved if it wasn't a 10-2jmin ob and time was took like the chf ones

I'm not sure about the first one but as people have suggested, it was probably borderline. As for the second one, it really doesn't contribute at all. I'm pretty sure any post that is pretty much just an image posted generally as a joke, will be edited.

I love the fact this was mentioned! :P I've often seen moderators that always use the suffix; 'Thanks :)', and thought that even though they're probably just trying to be friendly, the use of that particular emoticon seems kind of condescending almost. That's not the correct word really.. it's hard to describe.

Anyway if any form of moderation edit boxes come into play, I've seen how they're used on other Habbo forums and they often seem unnecessary. When a post is edited, it's not always for disciplinary purposes so a big red box that says 'Notice' could seem fairly severe at times.

I say thanks? Does it come over badly as I am genuinely just trying to be polite and not authoritarian. If it does come over badly I will stop doing it.

Hmm it is difficult to draw a line here but over the past few weeks, most humourous posts are generally considered pointless now.

That post for example, a few weeks ago, would of never been infracted I reckon.

I did wonder why that post was edited at first, then I realised it was a male that posted it.

It makes sense that it was edited lol. :)

I can sort of see what you are getting at but that member had every right to challenge the edit. I made a mistake by not reading the thread properly a couple of days ago and it was sorted as soon as I realised and this was because the member pointed it out to me.

I don't want to say that because it might just be how I personally perceive it and in any case, it depends on the particular context at the time. It's definitely not something worth making a decent moderator worry about needlessly anyway :D
