sssurfer Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 A question for the Admins & Mods, s'il vous plais. It's a few days that, anytime I edit a post of mine, a "This post has been edited by sssurfer:..." line appears at the bottom of the post. This was not happening before and I loved it, as I am no native English/American speaker so I often have to edit and re-edit my posts countless times. I believed this was due to my Supporter status and it was a benefit of that status. Was I wrong? Would you re-establish that former behavior? Thanks, sss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I get the same. It's rare that I put up a post and spell everything correctly. Oh well. Now everyone knows the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll run it by ADMIN to see if we want to cut that option off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidestro Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think this option is better turned on and I will explain why. Let's say that I put up a sale ad for a chronograph and said that it had a Swiss 7750 in it and sold it for a high price. Then once payment clears I sent out a watch with an A7750 instead of the swiss and changed the post. When the person who I cheated was to receive the watch they could check the post and it would appear that I was an honest seller rather than show proof that the post was edited. Just my two cents, but I like it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Really thanks, T. and jraines! And all who chimed in. @Fidestro: you are right, the scenario you figured is even what happened on me as the buyer on one occasion. But knowing that a post was edited is of no help here: there's no track of the pre-edited post, and knowledge that a post was edited is no evidence of its former contents, or poster's mala fide. So I thank the mods for restoring the former behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you're participating in a thread where you may buy a watch, you can quote the selle's post (as I have done with sssurfer's above) and the original seller can not change it.

Thanks, sss I liked this option for the reason stated by fidestro. @sssurfer - i think your english is better than mine and i am in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Also, if you're participating in a thread where you may buy a watch, you can quote the selle's post (as I have done with sssurfer's above) and the original seller can not change it. Excellent suggestion, jr! Thanks! No doubt I will use it if I ever happen to engage myself again in a member-to-member deal. @sssurfer - i think your english is better than mine and i am in the US Oh my! Wow, thanks, I am flattered! But please forgive me if I just can't believe it. Most likely you did not chek all my (3000+) posts. Actually, all my English comes: - 30% from my old school bench; - 30% from playing MtG online many years ago; - 10% from listening English/American music; - and 30% right from here. So I have to just thank you all for giving me a chance to improve my poor English here day after day, and baring with me at the same time...
