Have you ever seen Monty Python's Parrot sketch?

Flukey · 2009-01-19 00:04:08

Well, if you haven't here it is: The Parrot Sketch. Good, isn't it? Yes. Anyway, what has this got to do with the GAA you may ask? Indeed you might, and so might I, but for the fact that I already know the answer to that question. Well, early in that sketch there is a line which is "I wish to register a complaint!" John…

I can see the entire editing history of any post in any thread so I can compare before and afters. If you provide me with links I can have a look.

A moderator should remove offensive material but not add to the post in general and certainly should not significantly alter the meaning of the post.

Judging from the OPs reaction when he saw his post was edited, he didn't take to it too kindly

We're wasting your time, the OP is serious.

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

I'm not sure I took it all as tongue in cheek?

Flukey originally posted this thread in the Gaa forum so I thought it was a joke?

I still believe though that Blackbelt edited the post as a joke, not in a malicious way.

I have spoken to the mod in question when he told me what he had done. I told him i was not impressed with him editing my post. As far as i am concerned the subject is now closed.

Fine, I'll close this thread then.

Mods should not add to a post under normal circumstances and certainly not embarrass a genuine user. I used to do this on spam accounts for my own amusement in the past but I dont even do that any more. Its not on when the person is not a problem user, thats abuse of mod powers.
