At first, I was wondering why you posted that, since your previous post didn't seem to have even a letter changed.AdamSavage wrote:ok now I'm getting really annoyed. So I will add to my list..
ROGUE EDITS! I'm getting sick of them.. please stop. There is no need for them. Why ?? I can't stand it when I post something only to have it deleted with no reason given or nothing..
Then what should have been the obvious was pointed out:
Yes, that was a bit more than I bargained for in terms of TMI (thanks for at least posting a warning), but that's not news to you. I'm glad those replies helped you out a lot, though.cowmuflage wrote:Well I can see why they took all that woamn talk down haha I don't er blame them
Still, some of the posts could have at least had only parts of them edited out; there was nothing wrong with Saturo complaining about coming down with a migraine, for example.
EDIT: Either I wasn't paying close attention, or some posts were undeleted in the meantime. Holy crap, this is getting so hard to keep up with!
As for what AdamSavage posted, I do have to agree with him. If you edit out content from a post, could you do a small favor and leave a little 'moderator's note' explaining why you edited out said content. In this recent case, making a new post briefly explaining why you deleted a string of posts would also be nice. Is it necessary? That's debatable, to say the least. However, as AdamSavage is demonstrating here, it does get very annoying, having to rack your brain to figure out what just suddenly and inexplicably changed. Posts from regular users at least display how many times they've been edited since a reply was first made; moderator edits can fly completely under the radar.
