-- Posted by kay dee at 11:09 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Can mods edit posts just to fix spelling errors? :/ Okay, I'm asking more if they're ALLOWED to. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 11:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 They won't edit posts for that reason. -- Posted by danndivision at 11:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 why not fix them yourself? -- Posted by kay dee 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? -- Posted by jsgirl at 11:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 if they want but they probably wont -- Posted by 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.

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? -- Posted by Ndskewll at 11:13 am on Jan. 3, 2009 They could but they wouldn't. -- Posted by 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. -- Posted by kay dee 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. But say a mod was extremely OCD and couldn't stand misspelled words... >.> -- Posted by greatescape at 11:17 am on Jan. 3, 2009 The letters CBA come to mind. 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 -- Posted by Precarious at 11:33 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from DefaultTo0 at 1:13 pm 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. that's what a good moderator does -- Posted by Wolf 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! -- Posted by kay dee at 11:43 am on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from wolverineh8ter at 11:42 am on Jan. 3, 2009 ....
