Admin Editing Posts

[naomi24]

Twice today my posts have been edited. Is this a new policy? If so, I think it should be re-examined. I for one am not happy for other people to change what I've written. That simply isn't right.

[ummmm]

danny - it has been said more than once. It was actually said daily.

ummmm - // What annoys me more than anything is AB having employees posting and then pretend they aren't. //

I am unsure whom you refer to as 'employees' - only the Editorial Team are employed, and they identify themselves each time they post.

I called two people dumb & dumber just recently, the two that just attack anyone who may vote conservative, it was removed, // shrugs/// fair enough :0/

ummmm, It is impossible that every post comes to the attention of either a moderator or the ED so some are bound to get through.

Equal rights for the potato people...

What do we want ...

//The Mods do not 'discuss amongst themselves'.

The Mods are not connected to each other, or to the Editorial Team except by report buttons, and a 'delete post/thread' function.//


As usual you jump in and fail to get the gist of what I am saying. Never mind. Do I have to explain again?

I think we should all remember that the site runs very well, it is not without its faults, but those who do police it do so with the best of intentions, and contrary to a constantly registered inaccuracy, with the exception of the Editorial Team, do so as fellow posters, for no reward whatsoever.

It's not perfect - nothing is!!!

If by your badly worded sideswipe, you infer that only Moderators would discuss something on the site, then how would they know - because no-one with the exception of the Editorial Team, including the Moderators themselves, know who they are, so how are they to know with whom they are exchanging ideas?

I suppose it depends upon whether you believe that each of your posts deserves to be etched into posterity for the education of future generations.....

or if you understand that, in the cut and thrust of a website like this, some will become casualties or collateral damage of skirmishes fomented elsewhere.

Thanks ZM, seen it now,

Danny , it was probably me, there you go hands up,shoot md now , lol

Bobbi, it wasn't you.

Jeeez. What I said,in reply to the post by TCL, was how can we second guess what anyone's ultimate interpretation of Site Rules is at the time of typing.
If the rules are not written in black and white and clearly stated then ordinary ABers will not bother to post because a mod or member of the editorial team may arbitrarily decide that it is ultimately against Site Rules on that day. It is akin to stating Black is not White unless it is Thursday and Sunny but the latter part is unknown to an ABer.
What I was suggesting is all you will have left is the mods playing with themselves because AB ers can't be bothered to post lest they see them removed because they are unaware what the ultimate interpretation of Site Rules are.There are Site Rules written down. I have seen answers removed that are 'supposed' to contravene Site Rules. When the Site Rules that are written down are consulted they,sometimes, bear no rhyme nor reason as to why the answer is removed
I can write what I think but I can't make you understand what I write

[Bobbisox1]

Well I did call them that, I’m admitting it and it was removed :0)

// No one should take it upon themselves to change what someone else has said. Utterly wrong.//

it is a cruel world out there- and editors usually reserve the right to edit - and writers always complain their immortal prose has been mutilated into the mundane or plain rubbish
