Moderators editing posts

[:....:mike:....:]

Also, I find that only one edit per person is needed, rather than going down the whole list of "poinless, off-topic" posts, the last post should be edited with a message involving no more of "x".

There is no point of arguing about mod's mistakes because most mods take their job too seriously that is why they make so many mistakes (supposedly). I believe mods should be trained not have to read a handbook that management have no proof of knowing you read.

I'm not arguing, I'm suggesting, and putting my own opinion across while respecting others.

And then adding to my idea, the edit would most of the time be correct, as say 1 in 10 semi pointless/"off-topic" posts would definetly be pointless without a doubt in one thread.

Agreed except we then get complaints that nobody else was edited.

I would like if this to was a casual forum, I don't want the management to be gung ho on moderators because they make a mistake.

I don't think anybody on this forum should be gung-ho.

Agreed. I helped with the last Moderator's Handbook but it was meant as a supplement to not as a substitution for Training. I have to add a rider though that I have only been back less than a week and there could be a training system set up.

I meant one edit per person, not one edit per thread as some people are following the rules, and the ones that are not should get edited to show it's them.

If only all the moderators were this understanding. All the mods want to complicate an easy situation and to argue their innocence.

Slight generalisation?

And mods have every right to if everyone is having a go at them for doing their jobs! I think that the moderators in this thread that have replied have replied nicely without confusing things and I know i've tried to explain my school of thought.

There was at least 3-4 moderators this week arguing for their mistakes. You are not the only one who fought against the members. The irony is that every mod ended up giving in. :rolleyes:

I haven't fought against anyone. I simply explained my reasoning behind edited the posts. And "arguing" their mistakes is a bit harsh. Moderators are admitting they made mistakes or explained how they feel about a situation.

The feedback forum is all about seeing issues and changing them for a happier forum. Not a mod v member mentality or a way for mods to make excuses.

Mike, I don't think you would last as a mod though. These guys give up their time for the forum and make decisions of their own back, if they're wrong, well it's just a mistake. Yes this rule needs reviewing, but I think everyone has put their point across.

Why are you doing this? Only 3 mods have posted and kept posting through new replies and have all semi admitted that the rule does need reviewing and there is a grey area about what to do in the case of the posts we are all discussing.
