| 320541 | 2005-02-01 22:21:00 | I would like to clarify a few things about the Moderation of posts/threads. You may of seen Greg's thread about the "Big Brother" moderation and how part of his post vanished. If a Moderator/Admin edits a post, it will always show the footnote of "Edited by:". If that footnote isn't there, then your post has not been edited. If a Moderator/Admin deletes an individual post within a thread, it will always show a header comment of "Deleted by:" If a Moderator/Admin deletes an entire thread, then there will be no visible evidence of this. We only delete entire threads if they are a spam thread advertising a product/service (there have been a few of these made in the earlier hours on the morning), or if the thread is of sufficient ill content, that is the best option (this will be a rarity). If you think a thread has vanished from a forum, this might just be one of the Mods moving the thread to the correct forum. If you look in the other forum, you will find the thread there now. Duplicate threads are sometimes merged into one thread, so this again might appear if one has been deleted. The report bad post function is there to be used. The Mods/Admin don't have time to read every thread, so we appreciate the help to point out any post that may need some Mod input. While you might be happy to turn a blind eye to such posts, think of the impression other/new forum members would get if this behaviour is left unchecked. We want to keep PressF1 a place where everyone can post their questions without fear of being abused or ridiculed. We are doing our best to keep this place friendly, and on the previous Jive forum, a survery thread showed the overwhelming opinion was that more active and stronger moderation was required. PressF1 is here for everyone, of all ages and computer ability, lets keep it like that. :) Cheers Jen |

If that footnote isn't there, then your post has not been edited.Mind you, when I post edits to my own posts, most of the time it won't show up with the 'Edit' footnote. Only when I put a reason in, will it always show up. Mind you, I have edited this.... ...for the 4th time now Edit #5: Took 4 times before it showed up |

| 320543 | 2005-02-02 03:41:00 | Edit #5: Took 4 times before it showed upThat's done on a time thing. There is a short grace period where it doesn't append the Edited by: stuff | ninja (1671) | ||
| 320544 | 2005-02-02 03:44:00 | That's done on a time thing. There is a short grace period where it doesn't append the Edited by: stuff Now, let me take it back again. If there is a set timeframe, then why is it take sometimes I edit well within 30 seconds and the "Edit by:" appears. And as you can see above, it took 4 edits in 2 minutes before it came up. :illogical .. I don't understand. |

I think the grace time is about one minute - really not sure - but perhaps each subsequent edit resets the grace time, |

Jen Speaking of reporting bad posts, how do I get one of those red triangle thingys by my name? Perhaps I haven't been bad enough yet. |
