| macsforme | you know who to thank that we can't have nice things | 18:17 |
| blast007 | :) | 18:28 |
| moriah | Mhmm, it also makes you think twice about your wording in a post…always a good thing | 18:34 |
| moriah | Personally, I think it’s good as it stands. | 18:38 |
| *** FastLizard4 is back | 19:47 | |
| Agatha | Feh a couple users should *not* be the reason we can't have nice things! | 19:48 |
| Agatha | I suggest just shrugging and accepting the rare user deleting their stuff as a necessary evil. Or maybe edit permissions could be enabled by default and denied to users who abuse it? | 19:48 |
| Agatha | There are *good reasons* for having editing. Obviously, there's correcting typos and such, but also there's things like doing actual crosslinking! I don't want to bother a forum moderator every time I want to fix a broken link or whatever, and I doubt the forum moderators want that either. | 19:48 |
| Agatha | At the very least, I feel like I have the right, in a moral sense, to adjust whatever I wrote—I wrote it, didn't I? | 19:48 |
| Juest | what happened? | 19:55 |
| *** FastLizard4 is now away: AWAY from keyboard | 20:01 | |
| allejo | I generally agree that users should be able to edit their posts. however, i'm not sure how much granularity phpbb allows for permissions for editing like that. if it's too involved or requires mods, then that's more effort than it's already worth *shrug* | 20:02 |
| blast007 | that main two settings are the number of minutes that a post is allowed to be edited or deleted | 20:18 |
| blast007 | right now it's set to 120 minutes | 20:19 |
| Agatha | Since I anticipate bzflag miiight reach end-of-life when the universe undergoes proton decay, please change it to 5.259492e42 minutes tyvm | 20:53 |
| blast007 | Agatha: what kind of posts are you wanting to be able to edit? | 21:00 |
| Agatha | blast007: As an example of a revision, in my response here ( https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?p=179687#p179687 ), further experience has led to the discovery of a new way to cheese the neutral zone. I would like to revise my post to list this in context (rather than making a new post as if an afterthought and trying to reference myself, while also bumping the topic and adding a new page). | 21:50 |
| Agatha | As an example of broken link: in my plugin announcement post here ( https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?p=176185#p176185 ), there are three links into the GitHub hosting. I've been putting off pushing some changes, because they would break these links, but if I had edit capability that wouldn't be an issue. I have seen this issue from other people as well, where the top post of the plugin has out-of-date-links, and you have to read all 10 pages of the | 21:50 |
| Agatha | topic to find the 3 times the author posted updated links. | 21:50 |
| Agatha | As an example of a typo, in my effortpost ( https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?p=178214#p178214 ) in the 1st paragraph of the conclusion, I (ironically) wrote "metal", instead of "mental". A little thing, perhaps, but it has bothered me for *years*. I really tried, but it still didn't get caught on the gazillionth proofreading. | 21:50 |
| blast007 | I set it to allow edits again. We'll see how that goes. | 23:29 |
| allejo | I will personally see to penalize any users that abuse it. if y'all don't know how petty I can be, you'll find out >:D | 23:31 |
