Title: Mod edits of titles need to be objective. (&gmaxwell needs to take a break) Post by: 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 on January 26, 2013, 01:59:50 PM In the custom hardware form, one moderator has being forcibly changing the topic names to things like "In which xxx fails to understand yyy".
Few reasons why I'm against this: 1. It's confusing, especially when that mod edits without the edit showing up on the timestamp 2. It's putting words in other people's mouth 3. It's a micro form of public shaming for lack of knowledge / stupidity Mod edits should clearly be marked as such, and they need to be objective (or reconsider people with mod powers that treats this forum as a playground).

We were always at war with oceania (Ozzian BS cut from the Avalon tree) WOW! Becoin failed to read and comprehend BFL's policy on BTC refunds Edit: just came across more: "... and please do not quote a part of a post of mine where you have edited that quoted text ... you have edited a few of my posts ..." Crazyates' OT misguided whining from the avalon thread Re: [topic topiary] Trolling thread topologically tossed from the terrane This is looking more like a joke board now.

It's a micro form of public shaming for lack of knowledge / stupidity I believe that stupid people need to be told so, otherwise they will continue to say stupid things embarrassing themselves and their kin.

Spray 'em with Troll-B-Gone.

Spray 'em with Troll-B-Gone. It's either this, or the renaming. To quell the anti-censorists(is that even a word??), I'd say the latter works better.There's no pleasing everyone.
