Moderators editing posts

[Callum.]

Elka just posted an announcement but moved it quickly, hmm.

[Mrs.McCall]

Yeah. In all fairness, I hadn't seen the rule until now because I didn't even look last night.

Ok, that's cool. I think that should be made more clearer in the rules then maybe?

[GommeInc]

Isn't that rule in the rules section? I swear I've seen it before...

B13. Do not make off topic posts - Off topic and random posts are not allowed. Your post must be related to a post made earlier in the thread or about the thread itself.

Seems clear enough.

[Mrs.McCall]

I must've missed it, but I have read the rules like... 50 times over!

Well, I've apologised now and the point is made.

[GommeInc]

Not very clear really, it goes on a bit and sorta contradicts itself.

[Mrs.McCall]

Yeah.

Well, at least now I have seen the thread and can apply it in my moderating.

[Nereo]

Moderators can interpret posts wrongly, but I think it's there job to assess what they think is acceptable and whats not, and most of the time I think that their edits are justified
No one is perfect

Well at the risk of sounding like a broken down record again in this thread.

That rule was clarified in late 2006.

The rule was meant to provide a relaxing of off-topic to allow a thread to naturally progress and evolve as a discussion. Something I know you are in favour of. Sierk, the GM along with a lot of the staff felt it was too strict before. The main criteria though was that a post should positively and constructively contribute to the thread so a chit chat in the middle of it (such as is allowed in the spam forum) is still not allowed and in my view shouldn't be as it destroys the purpose of the thread. That's my memory of the explanation of this rule and I agree that it could be amended to make it clearer.

Minty is Thaddeus.
I guess he accidently put his old name in the edit.
