Everyones The Admin! Created 20 years ago2004-03-28 19:18:18 UTC by davideo59

Everyone should be the admin of THEIR OWN POSTS . <- I hope that bold works -> Anyway... In other forums much like this one you can edit what you say, or delet a post you made... Including the whole topic if you decide you shouldnt have started it... I mean whats the harm in letting you delet your own post, if say, you were to make a big unmeaningful flame? The moderators cant always catch them...

Already on the list for when atom's around again.

I was gonna suggest this too...oh well

Umm,
Quick answer to the Admin side of forum posts.
No.
Well not yet anyway. And as always there is a good reason. If you hunt through the forums over at 69th, you will find a few posts that were created by someone new to mapping who asked all the Newbie questions, then when the caring sharing guy's at 69th actually answered them with the right answers putting considerable thought and effort into the replies... the Newbie went back in and edited all the original questions to make them all look like idiots.
I must admit I laughed at first.... but seriously, it turned the whole 69th community against new mappers and took them about 4 months to trust anyone again.

There are +'s and -'s to editing your own posts. Above just highlights one on the minus's.

Hm. Good point. Well, speaking for myself alone, if you want a correction made to a recent post, just say the correction/change underneath an' I'll do it for you.

everyone will screw around if we do this, lets just stick with moderators like monkey here.

yup. i dont have any needs to moderate my posts, i just let 7th get the spelling erros out

I gave up ages ago

Can I have admin rights for pepper's posts? I'm an amazing speller! I'll
re-spell them (That is, once I've figured out what they actually say!). Otherwise, keep it with Seventh, Slayer and Andy. Oh, and atom.

Well, pepper, do you mind if I do? Not everyone studies languages, and that makes it a lot easier for me to understand.

your are all vey naughty, vassy. if you want you can try but i think you will get a hrd bit of it.
zeker als ik in nederlands typ. dan kun je het lekker niet lezen. alleen de nederlanders hier

I didn't say I understood, uh, Netherlandish. Just that I could put myself in your position more easily

toch is het leuk he

?

Just on the admin thing...
I've seen a system somewhere that when you edit your own posts, it puts a big fat edit sign on your post

They would still screw around. I wouldn't like people to change their words, whats said is said, and it would get confusing. If you want to correct it, tell an admin to or just post again and say what you meant.

(exept if you have a big av like me)

You all are always thinking of dumb things like that... I mean, with anything people can do something stupid! That doesn't mean you shouldnt do it! I could post up a load of porno if I wanted to and you still let people do that, but no animation - thats just so much worse! Common people you should start trying things and so what if a newb does something like that, is it going to throw your whole life off track? With everything good there is something bad and you just have to deal with it

You've got some great ideas davideo59, perhaps you should go start your own HL forum. You could start early for H2... c'mon, get busy. Go. What are you still reading this for, get coding!

Agree totally,
Davideo59 your ideas and concepts are great.
Too great to let slip by so get coding ... get your own HL site up and running, build a community and that way you don't have to get pissed off...
Think about how awesome it will be running your own site, you will be able to do everything you want. Avatar's, animation, all the stuff this site won't do because it has seen other sites suffer and learnt from others mistakes.
You will be free to make all those mistakes yourself.

You will be the ADMIN... you can edit your own posts!! which I think was the start of this topic? and has been asked since the sites beginning...
However, don't forget to instantly incorperate everyones suggestions. After all, that's what your ticked off about isn't it? It boils down to not getting your own way...

There is only one person that decides what changes on this site and when it will be implemented...
Send it all to atom.

and for the record, i've been here quite a lnog time, i arrived just before the joining spree of late 2003, and i know not of porno being displayed here.

spanner

I never said there was any, BECAUSE people here dont abuse their rights- and thats why we should have it! If I knew how to code I would **feels preety low right now cause everyone is mad**

You deleted my post! Now if I was the Admin!... , oh, wait.

This idea would be kool... i regret making most of my posts...

Well if you do, say so and I'll edit/delete them for you if the request's 'moderate'

o.k.!

stop tjis now!

y? im just gettin started...
