When people make a pointless post they get a PM about it blah blah blah. When you look at the post it says Edited... But it wasnt edited? I Think mods should delete pointless posts... As editing, you dont edit it, you just send a Pm to that user...

I like the current way of doing it. :)
It is being edited because a mod edit is being added to the post = edited. It's fine the way it is and does not need changing tbh.Quote:

They did that to me, I pointless posted once and they DID edit it? So they do edit them tyler...Quote:

The way the moderators deal with pointless posts is fine as it is, we do not delete any posts or threads but we will remove them out of public view if needed.
Agreed there is nothing wrong with it at the moment. They do a splendid job :)Quote:

As Rosie said pointless posting is against the rules so it's dealt with like any other rule except the content doesn't get removed. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "When you look at the post it says Edited... But it wasnt edited?" but they do get edited :P
Things like this don't get deleted, as Nicola said we keep everything like this as 'evidence' and for future reference.
They never get deleted; at the very most they just get moved out of site into a hidden forum.
The reason it says 'edited' is because the moderator has to edit the post to put the [modwarn] in :)
