subbacultchas Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Keeping them honest I suppose. It does keep people from stealth-editing and all the shenanigans it can cause on forums. 4 1
ForeverLaxx Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 I imagine the mods/GMs could also edit a post, so it will say if they did it instead of the original poster. Other than that, I've always used it to know if someone changed their post after it was quoted by someone else, or to "sneak in" something else into it after getting called out in order to try and make everyone else look like jerks. exChampion and exInfinity player (Champion primarily).

Diantane Posted July 6, 2022 Author Posted July 6, 2022 Yes, I understand editing. But letting others you did is pointless. If its an update, I'll say "Update:"

Marshal_General Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Editing is for once we post something and reread it and go, "Crap! Did Ozzy Osbourne write this?" 1
Herotu Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Why complain about edits? I mean, who cares? 1 ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.
Frostbiter Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 I need that edit feature. If I didn't have it most of my posts would display just how many fingers I've broken over the years or how badly my wireless keyboard accepts interference from the alarm system on the shop next door. I have nothing to hide except Spoiler made you look. 😛 1 Torchbearer Discount Heroes SG: Frostbiter - Ice/Ice Blaster Throneblade - Broadsword/Dark Armor Brute Silver Mantra - Martial Arts/Electric Armor Scrapper

DoctorDitko Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Oh, if I could type, I'd be so dangerous. So, seconding the typos. (I spell great, I just can't type.) In my case, I also have a thing where I post something, then remember my sources, then go back and add in links.* * And citations. And footnotes, which, BTW, rock! Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor.

You are the one doing the editing! Edited July 10, 2022 by UltraAlt Just so I could show I was editing, but didn't do anything. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
