Great suggestion. I bet there are many cases in which this would help! For example, signature campaigns.
Already mentioned the example, but yeah. This is a great suggestion, but having a function to lock the OP would be great as well. That way people know the information isn't edited, which is useful in, for example, a sale or a verification topic.
That would be a useful feature as well. Ahhh! Noooooo!
Lol, I edit about 99% of my posts. Virtually all of these edits are typographical, but I also do it intentionally so that I never get called out for an edited post.
Edit: See?
This would only apply on explicitly edit-locked threads, though. Not all of them. It should also have a warning just like self-moderated threads have that you can't edit your posts here. The new forum will have versioning for all posts. This means that every change to a post is kept in the database and all users will be able to see all versions of a post. This makes the point of this thread rather moot since it will be on by default for all posts.
But still, if it's a signature campaign application post, you have to for each individual post select the earliest version while with this feature you can just prevent edits and be sure you're reading the original post at first glance. |

I haven't noticed any thread suggesting this feature, so I decided to create a topic about it. The concept is pretty simple: just like you choose if you want your thread to be self-moderated, you could choose if you allow users to make edits to their posts. This would be useful in threads that require you to post to apply to something such as a signature advertising campaign, a contest that requires you to guess something, etc.
Even though you can look at the post to see if it's edited, it's usually quite overwhelming to check every post when processing pages of information manually.

Hi Stunna, How are you able to see the ban status of users, and their ban duration? This information is not public knowledge and is being used for commercial purposes. Maybe he has other account which is mod on this forum . LOL . Btw ur trust rating is i think the best on this forum, how u menaged to do that :S . I am pretty sure this is not the case. He is paying staff above market rates then somehow has access to information that only mods have access to. I am surprised users are not making a bigger deal about this. Not going to point fingers, but one of the moderators (not me BTW), trying to prevent spammers from getting paid for their posts, gave info to Stunna about banned users who were participating in his campaign and Stunna decided to post it. Good intent, bad execution. |

Although i don't have an avatar i also believe that security > usefulness
+1. I totally agree with you. Security is more important. But they can implement Gravatar or some default avatar in profile picture and we can select the one we want. It will be more secure. If they want, Theymos can make a thread asking to post the images they want to see on the collection and he can upload good ones to the collection after checking it.  ~~MZ~~ The problem with avatars would be not because someone could exploit any known security issue, but because someone could find an issue not yet discovered in the avatar system. |

Will do, either today or tommorrow. 1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]
2. No off-topic posts.
3. No trolling.
4. No referral code (ref link) spam.
7. No begging.
13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours.
21. Old bumps should be deleted.
22. Advertising (this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc.) in others threads' is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, in altcoin announcement threads
24. Advertisements in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful. are ignored everywhere throughout bct except maybe meta Personally, I've out of the portion you posted recently enforced (deleted post, banned for, moved a thread, sent a warning, etc.) rules 1,2,3,4,7,13 and 22. They might get ignored by users, but not the mods. Also, if you see them, report them to the moderators. |

How about you just wait until the new forum is released and any possible security issues are patched up: <...> Q: Why doesn't the forum let me add an avatar?A: The forum was hacked some time ago. It is thought that the avatars were used as a means of injecting malicious code into the forum. Even though the vulnerability was patched, the avatars will be disabled until a new forum software is released. Q: So when is the new forum software coming?A: Well, according to theymos, some time after February 2015. <...> When will the software be finished? About one year from now. <...> <...> |

Not all mods. Patrollers probably can't (since I can't).
I could get picky and say 'patrollers' != 'mods'  . I stand corrected, thanks. Well, we do moderate (delete, move, nuke newbies), so I guess it counts, right? |

Did you totally abuse your powers to unlock my thread just to respond to me? Meh, makes me feel special. I'll allow it.
Mods can post to locked topics. Not all mods. Patrollers probably can't (since I can't). |

Added in rule 24 with a source and an example on account of the new thread started by theymos regarding that matter.
Suggest s/the post in/the post is in/ . Fixed, I think. Post if you see more or if I left more typos in that rule  . And don't forget to update your translation. |

Seems like this was always obvious but I guess it wasn't to some people. Maybe this should be stickied otherwise it'll just flow down and get forgotten. BTW, I added this to the unoffcial rule thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0. Have I correctly phrased it (Rule 24)? |

It is disabled due to security issues, with the new version of the forum it should be available.
whenwill that be,? It is easy to do the patch up but why take so long It will come with the new forum software: Q: So when is the new forum software coming?A: Well, according to theymos, some time after February 2015. <...> When will the software be finished? About one year from now. <...> Source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0#post_faq |
