That, and without more work, it would automatically mark any edited thread as having edited the first post.

Which I don't really see as a problem. Else you could just change the title anytime without any evidence that it has been edited... So if you add thread editing in a separate page, then yeah, I guess that one page should be mod only.
So you could do both... Although it'd probably be cleaner to have everything in the same place...
To that point, why allow normal users to edit their threads at all?

It may just be me, but I do not like giving that freedom to users, especially on this kind of forum. Asking a mod is just as easy and worked rather well both here and on the old board.

As you can see from Treeki's post it's not "just as easy", else he would have got his thread title changed. Other examples come to mind, too, like the "Demo 6" thread etc... First, asking a mod takes more time (from you, and for the mod to do the change), and people may want to avoid bothering mods, too.

I can't think of any reason not to allow users to edit thread titles. If people abuse it, just punish them, like you would if they fuck up with their title or signature, or spam the board, whatever.

I don't mean to sound offensive, but if you're that paranoid, why are we even allowed to edit our posts, rather than asking mods to do it for us ? That doesn't make sense to me.
That's because the current administration system is basically retarded and can't do shit.

Beyond that, bothering mods shouldn't be a problem. That's why they're, uh, mods. Hello.

To that end, some of these same forums that allow post editing don't allow it after a single reply has been made in the thread. That and a few other reasons...

Allowing one free title edit would not be out of the question, but allowing complete, unrestricted access to it would be.

But that's under my rules. Blackhole89ism will probably dictate that you will get full control over it just how you want it.

If I had to guess, something to do with the fact that his reregs have done pretty much nothing but post civilly and intelligently in Debate.
I'm sorry but re-regging 20 times is against board rules, and he was banned for a reason in the first place.
Which, ironically, was probably because he was banned. Once he was unbanned you got great posts like the one in the IRC quotes thread.

I thought you didn't care.
Not caring about what they're doing.

I'm not against giving my opinion on matters like this, though.

Sounds good.

Full control is better than zero control, in some cases (especially if it doesn't involve security issues). At least it things would be moving, unlike now. And I don't know what kind of restriction you're thinking of. Not being able to edit a thread title after one reply has been posted sounds stupidly restrictive to me (I'm not saying that's what you proposed).
No, that's other forums... I think my restriction would allow for one edit (usually for something minor), but any more and you'd need a mod simply to prevent changing it over and over to confuse everyone.

Acmlm removed Xkeeper of his admin rights.
Just a quick correction, he just agreed to it mostly because he got tired of me messing with MillyBot2

You should give blackhole89/Emuz/Ailure most of the credit for it.

Good thing I'm not claiming (or caring) to be Acmlm's Board, then.

It was a response to somebody who was trying to reunite the boards, Xkeep.
Oh, right.

There's really not much "uniting" to be done, mostly because users of board A can leave board A dead for board B or vice versa. No need to bother with official "merging".

yet you people want to merge with this, and at the same time whine about how the activity dropped under my rule?

oh bullshit, I had to go fix several errors he coded in when he tried to "fix" things (didn't bother trying to understand how it worked, added in more bugs to iron out/undo)

and on that note, at the same time I couldn't trust blackhole89/ailure either
ailure was informing me that "no, blackhole89 doesn't want to do this, he would rather compromise" etc etc etc, everyone else (who was talking to him) was informing me of the exact oppsoite


so it was really a "I can't trust you either" measure
blackhole89 controls the server, I took control over the database


do try to clear things up before you go on ranting about them

There have been circlejerks in the ROM hacking forum in the past too. Basically back in the TEK/DES days.
ROM Hacking in and of itself is one massive drama bomb, and you pretty much pinpointed the time when it was most noticable

Just remember, when all 3 of our communities are dead in a year, that I offered this.
Eh, more motivation to prove you (and others) wrong, I guess.

Although to that end, I wasn't aware I had clones. Shit, why didn't anyone tell me? I could sell this technology for some serious money!

From what I've seen, this board lets flamers run free.
the only person with enough balls to actually ban people isn't staff anymore, so you know

Hence my theory of bringing things back to it's supposed core - ROM Hacking. Not "OMG PIE NINJAS! SEE HOW WACKY I AM????" faggots. Not shitty sprite comics. Not fat monobrows who fantasise about buggering their cat. And certainly not a staff that can't trust each other. ROM Hacking and none else.
This man speaks the truth.
then why are you posting in an area that is not romhacking

is this the typical "i agree with it but i don't feel like actually doing it" motif?


also the image:


posted in har d. har koopa' sthread by someone after 3 Ailure-edits about how he doesn't want to do anything but gave a warning after he spammed a bunch of users with PMs
