Thread Name: In the UK......? (thread title change complaint)
Subject: (thread title change complaint)
Shambles posted the text qouted below:

"Now that we have anonymous volunteer fellow posters who can impose any change to a selected orignator's thread title as and when they want to - would it be possible and would it be a good idea for clarification purposes - to always indicate to our forum - where and when such an imposition has taken place and who was responsible?

This would avoid the current situation where there is a current thread title that has had a change imposed upon it by an anonymous volunteer fellow poster but which is now less clear and more incorrect as a result of this imposition - but where the title is still credited to its originator? Perhaps as such imposition looks now to be a fact - such action should be seen to be more accountable? "



Which to be more accurate shouuld be annotated to read thusly:

Now that we have and have had for years anonymous moderators appointed by the site owner who can impose any change to a selected orignator's thread title as and when they want to following the guidelines given to them by the site owner and subject to review by the site owner- would it be possible and would it be a good idea for clarification purposes - to always (editorial comment - Always? there are "always" exceptions to rules - you should know that!) indicate to our forum - where and when such an imposition has taken place and who was responsible?

This would avoid the current situation where there is a current thread title that has had a change imposed upon it by an anonymous moderator but which is now less clear and more incorrect as a result of this imposition in the opinon of the originator but not in the opinion of many who have read the thread; and which factually as read is neither incorrect nor unclear- but where the title is still credited to its originator? Perhaps as such imposition looks now to be a fact (editorial comment - it occurred, yes, that is a fact)- such action should be seen to be more accountable?" (editorial comment: not according to Max - whose site it is)
