Thread Title edits/Post edits

[1WhiteSSTC]

i think as moderators you guys need to be VERY careful with title edits and post edits/deleting........i fear that the power each mod has been given is a slippery slope to becoming another fail.net and i would be very sad if it happened......just be careful guys, it's easy to be in your position and mess around but what happens if u mess around and someone is in a really bad mood and takes it the wrong way? Then u have fail.net type drama and damn man we don't need that on here.............I think thread titles should be locked once created and only be able to delete it or leave it as is.....it's 1 less temptation to cause trouble. The same would go for post edits, the moderators can only delete a post, never edit it, again, 1 less temptation.

Just my humble observations guys, don't take it the wrong way. I love this forum to death and don't ever want anything bad to happen to it.

meh, saw the random post thread of the month title changed a few times and i know from fail.net that it is a slippery slope, soon u will see ppl's usernames up there with nasty comments(meant as poking fun at someone) but in the end it's a very slippery slope that turns into drama when someone gets madd about their username being in a thread title with a nasty comment/suggestion ect.

It's ok lol u can call me mother hen for posting this, but it's truth and it needed to be posted as a warning, just to be safe. Protect ccf.com at all costs lol

ahhh, i say don't worry about it unless it really becomes a problem. no harm done so far. it's a small site and usually small sites with a couple mod's always on nothing bad happens. the problem happens when u have a big site and not enough mod's or not the right mod's to control if people start to fight. it's like a chain reaction and on this site the most it would be is 2-3 people fighting and 1 mod on at the time to stop it. idk if any of this makes sense to you i suck at explaining stuff but hopefully you get the right idea from where i am coming

I see where your coming from and generally i agree with you, just wanting to ensure that's all it ever comes to. Trying to play it on the safe side, when i saw the thread title changed all i could think of was the BS from fail.net i had to deal with.

I understand what is being said

i agree that unless there is a NEED for it the thread title and posts shouldnt be changed
it can cause confusion and annoyance....esp since the op cant change some of that after 5 min haha

as for the post edits, i think that it only needs to be done if neccessary...
and even then it needs to be noted as a sep post.

 

[Cobalt Tom]

I thought you took off the 5 min?

for post edits, but they cant edit thread titles after 5 min and that should stay...

sweet!

.............so i know it's just the random chat thread but somebody keeps changing the title and lotta ppl are complaining.........ppl's screentags have been changed to different colors........IMO if the ppl on your forum are complaining about these things then something serious needs to happen in order to stop this from continuing....maybe a moderator needs to be given a few weeks suspension?

I think it didnt matter cause the title were stupid and not pointed towards anybody.Like burritos.If you get mad at burritos theres something wring cause there fuckin delicous.

i dun like burritos

I know it's not the end of the world but it is the first level of a very slippery slope, i see ppl always asking wtf about the thread title and i'm sry if admin were to ignore that then they are no better than fail.net and fuk if this site turns into a close bother of fail.net then i'm leaving, DON'T **** UP THIS SITE GUYS!!!!!!

 

[FASTL61]

uhm not to be a dick but its just a thread title for a random bs thread which at no point was the title offensive to anyone.Now I can understand if people were editing post which I do not do unless it embedding a youtube link.Now if the titles were offensive like ,"this person sucks" or whatnot then I can understand.but for burritos and quesadilla's,kinda kidish to get upset about it but hey I guess we all cant have fun right?lol

i'm all for good fun like that but like i said, it's a slippery slope, it starts with the random thread titlesstage1, then important thread titles(all in good "fun" but now stage2) and then actual posts and deleting ppl's posts(has happened to me already and that is stage 3) IMO we've already got stage 1 and 3 happening, whats to prevent stage 2 from happening and ccf.com going down the drain like fail.net? Somebody promise me that won't happen and if it does I get to crucify the ppl responsible, maybe then I will feel better about it........

 

[FASTL61]

well who ever is editing post is a tard.but whatever.

 

[DaveBlank]
