Title: Need some clarification on last edited message {solved} Post by: CryptopreneurBrainboss on May 04, 2019, 06:45:51 PM I don't think it's still a news, noticing the last edit message on a post, If that post have been edited 10mins after it was first posted but what I still don't get is why our names are always on the last edit message.
https://i.imgur.com/l3nEaHl.jpg Here (image above), it says last edit by CryptopreneurBrainboss, why those it have to state my name when I'm the writter of the post or can someone else edit my post. If moderators or other forum members can't modify my posts why does the last edit message still have to state my name as the editer I don't get it. Clarification please.

Admins (and maybe Mods?) can actually modify your posts. I'm not sure if they ever did, but they can if they want.Title: Re: Need some clarification on last edited message Post by: CryptopreneurBrainboss on May 04, 2019, 06:53:07 PM If they do though, will the last edit message still show as I'm the editer or it'll display as "last edit by admin" lol

The case I remember, forum member was supposedly caught plagiarizing and the mod edited/removed part of his message.

I'm not sure that theymos would use time on this because I don't see the benefit of it. It doesn't harm me if I see my name after the last edit :)
