Guest The Metal Maniac Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 I just noticed that a post changed, but it didn't say edited. I then noticed when editing a post of my own, that we can apparantly choose whether it says edited or not. Since when can we do this? And do the Communist levels of historical revisionism possible with this bother anyone else? Theoretically, I could change my viewpoints on EVERYTHING, and no one would know. Well, they couldn't prove it, anyway. Not that I would...I mean...I have a life...somewhere... I just found it odd that something like that would be changed. What's the deal? Did the admins just want to do this, or is it a new feature in the boards? And yes, I'm an overly curious person. Shoot me. And I just realized it's quite possible this has been going on since the board started, and I just never noticed. In any event, I'd like it cleared up, if someone wouldn't mind. And bps21 is my favorite mod.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 I'm pretty sure it wasn't an option before. It seems to make little sense as an option to me... I mean...I could edit in anything I wanted to to your post and no one would know that you didn't write it! ... Thanks for the plug, btw!
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Well, now that I realize that a mod can do the same thing to other people, the whole thing just seems even MORE retarted.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 I agree with Metal Maniac.
Ultimo Dugas Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 And it would hurt the gambling thread, seeing as it will be hard to tell if people cheat.
Guest Anglesault Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Well, now that I realize that a mod can do the same thing to other people, the whole thing just seems even MORE retarted. Not to nitpick, but there is another "d" in retarded. Retarted sounds like a breakfast pastry. Pet peeve. Carry on.
Guest areacode212 Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Actually, I'd prefer it to always have the "Edited by..." legend at the bottom too, but a couple of people requested that we switch it off. I agree with your reasons that we're better off with it turned on. So, in the interest of preventing historical revisionism, corrupt mods/admins and keeping the integrity of the gambling thread, I hereby switch it back on.
Guest Anglesault Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Edit: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hey, wait. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSS

Guest Youth N Asia Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 (edited) I only added the edited by line if I make a major change to a post...not if I'm changing one word or fixing spelling errors Edited April 26, 2003 by Youth N Asia
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 And it would hurt the gambling thread, seeing as it will be hard to tell if people cheat. That's why you should record the bets immediately before the PPV starts
Guest Retro Rob Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 And it would hurt the gambling thread, seeing as it will be hard to tell if people cheat. That's why you should record the bets immediately before the PPV starts Thats what I do over at SMARKTALK.COM
Guest Eagan469 Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 *sees "post edited by Eagan469" after editing post* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gambling thread? There's like one of those a month tops, come on.
Guest areacode212 Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 I only added the edited by line if I make a major change to a post...not if I'm changing one word or fixing spelling errors OK...I just installed a mod that disables the "Edited by..." line at the end of your posts, as long as you edit the message within the first 10 minutes of posting. So, that should give you all enough time to catch & correct any little spelling/grammar mistakes you make.

Guest evenflowDDT Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 And it would hurt the gambling thread, seeing as it will be hard to tell if people cheat. That's why you should record the bets immediately before the PPV starts Wait... so those gambling threads are for real money? Is that legal?

No money, it's really just a point system where instead of 100 points it's $100...I guess it's just more interesting that way
Guest El Satanico Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 I'm not sure on the exact wording, but I'm pretty sure that as long as the "house" isn't taking a percentage of the earnings gambling is legal.
Guest Choken One Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 Pretty Picky thing to be picking about... Why would you want some one to know ya screwed up?
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 You know, you could always just read the first few posts in the thread and find out.
