Carol has the last word when it comes to moderating. I just want to add:
If anyone else has a problem with not being able to go back and edit what you say please feel free to p.m. or email Carol or another admin about it and why you are upset with it so I can find a work around for you.
You do need to realize that if it's important you can always p.m. a mod. to change something for you... It would need to be something important and NOT something that would change the post completely and render the conversation useless, you can do that yourself in a brand NEW post.
shorthorsemom was not the only reason this was changed, there have been many people who will go back and edit what they said in the middle of a conversation and it is frustrating to say the least. To read a post with replies that make NO sense is unacceptable. This is one of the things I've gotten complaints about the most.
If you change your mind make a NEW reply.
The edit button is not missing it is just not there anymore for anyone to change what they said hours, days or weeks later. It is there plenty long enough for you to be sure you worded your response correctly.
Please do not abuse this privilege.
This all comes down to RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS. If you do not stand behind your word DO NOT POST IT.
Just to be clear here I'm going to add this from the LONG standing rules. Nothing will get you a warning faster than flaming or being rude to the staff.
DO NOT FLAME THE STAFF- They have the final say. This forum isn't a democracy. Your vote doesn't always count. They try to please everyone they can, but in the end, they're charged with making this community as enjoyable for as many people as they possibly can. They can not always be right, nor can they please everyone with the decisions made, but they're doing their "jobs" and hopefully we can all agree that they're doing their best to ensure a good community here. If you feel that an egregious oversight has been made, then pm the moderator group. Do not post complaints on the forum.
