    Links? Censoring would be editing posts wouldn't it?

    I think mods can do a silent edit if they want.

    From my experience if you are quick like a ninja admin it doesn't show who edited it.

    Someone had wanna get on to an Smod. Is there a light that we can beam into the sky to get their attention ? Or should we scream at the top of our voices from a tall building in distress? :pac:

    It's ok to censor but not edit... ?!
    With all due respect: What are you banging on about? Link and explain. Make it rhyme too.

    They usually check random feedback threads about completely different issues to see if someone has complained about a signature.

    Whatever you do, don't post in the Sigpo thread or PM the Smods. You'll never get their attention that way. ;)

    I think I'd agree with the buffoon's sentiment if not phrasing. If you need to stop someone from posting then ban/delete, but in principle I agree that changing what someone says is a bad thing.

    I've never seen this on boards though so I don't know what the christ he's going on about.

    I'd agree that editing someone's post isn't a good idea for a mod, but back it up with links/evidence or I'll close this thread.

    And you never will be with that kind of defeatist attitude.

    Positive thinking and anything is possible. We believe in you.
