endtime -> Editing a post (6/5/2011 23:27:29)
|
It seems as if mods in the ED forums are starting to crack down and enforce rules, but some aspects of the AE forums seems impractical.
For example, the enforcement of not double posting. Not being able to post twice on the same thread does not seem to make sense. When one edits a post--unless it is the original post or one of the latest--other people won't read it because it is in the middle of a ton of discussion. Plus, if the thread has been pushed back, and it is just edited, then the thread will not move up; therefore, nobody will pay attention to it since it is on the second, third, or fourth, etc page.
So I am wondering whether anybody reads edited posts/threads that are packed in the middle of a discussion and not brought onto the latest page. I think most people look only at the first and latest few threads. Nobody is going to look at an edited post #63 when there are 243 posts total in a thread. Am I wrong?
If this is true, then when somebody edits a post, it should be marked as the latest post and be positioned as the latest post.
------------
BTW, a forum moderator deleted this post when it was in a general discussion section and told me to post it here. But, after zooming out from this thread, I realized there was a Forum Suggestion section. Should this not fit better in there? Just something I want to get out in case another mod feels inclined to criticize me for posting in the wrong section.
