Wolf Posted at 11:42 am on Jan. 3, 2009 If a mod was going through every topic fixing every single spelling error, it is of my opinion that it is over moderation. There is no rule against spelling errors.  However, we have a specific feature that lets us switch letters to lowercase.  I generally make use of that.  Also, failtags just end up in a thread full of "Fail" or "Fail... +1" so I edit those as fast as I can to make the posts worth something. Then of course I edit things so that they agree with what I say!

Although I agree with DefaultTo0. Those are the only good reasons I could see for fixing typo-esque errors. edit: To answer your hypothetical question....I know of no rule that says we can't.  Then again....I'm new..... Still, I don't think any of us are that anal kay dee Posted at 11:16 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from DefaultTo0 at 11:13 am on Jan. 3, 2009 I will sometimes edit someone's post, for example if they screw up trying to post a Youtube video or they post entirely in uppercase.

Ndskewll Posted at 11:13 am on Jan. 3, 2009 They could but they wouldn't. kay dee Posted at 11:12 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from monkeydoodle77 at 11:12 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from katiescarlett at 11:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from marshmellowman at 11:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 They won't edit posts for that reason.    But CAN they? Yes, they can edit posts. I'm well aware of that. I'm saying can they edit them just to fix spelling errors, or would that beagainst some sort of mod rule? monkeydoodle77 Posted at 11:12 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from katiescarlett at 11:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from marshmellowman at 11:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 They won't edit posts for that reason.
