Title: Forum-Based Games: How can I see if someone edited his Post?
Post by: loveless on November 25, 2012, 08:46:56 PM
Hello,

There's a Forum called "Games and Rounds" where Forum-Based Games are allowed.

The Problem is that I can't see if someone has edited his or her post.
So it's hard to organize many games because I can't see if someone has changed his post and tries to cheat.

Could you build in such a functionality or is there already a function a haven't seen?

thank you

You could always quote their posts....

Yes but I'm not always online and he/she shouldn't be allowed to change the opinion after he/she has posted the bet

On the default theme, if they edit their post after a few minutes have passed since it was posted, a dotted line will appear under the time of their post that can be hovered over for more information. I'll edit this post in a few minutes to show you.

Edit: Now edited.

If you enable notification of new replies, it may contain the reply in the email notification.

That's another idea. Be sure to enable the preference to include the reply in the notification, since that isn't enabled by default.

Thanks for the tip, I did not notice that.

There are many reasons someone would want to edit their post, I don't think editing a post should automatically disqualify it. Making your internal records of who did what (with quotes or whatever) is more reliable.

It has been suggested that the blockchain could be used as a timestamping service for arbitrary data, people could timestamp a hash of their play. But the infrastructure for that is not yet fully developed.

Wow, I didn't know this.
