You may have missed the following editing comment as it was inserted into an existing post and did not refresh the thread.


Oh, he knows HOW it works, Jon - he just doesn't think I should be permitted to do that.

The point is that our forum may not know how it currently works. When they do, they are in a position to judge whether the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing team should be permitted to this and to judge whether it is an abuse or not.

There are times I feel a need to correct misinformation Shambles has presented - and I think it's best to put the correction right next to the misinformation.

To prevent any abuse - I suggest that an editing comment should only be inserted when some form of imposed censorship action has actually taken place. And if any poster wishes to make any comment in a thread they know that a post will always refresh the thread.

Besides, I certainly don't want to prolong the life of a Shamblesthread with my response.

The advice to posters is if you do not wish to prolong the life of a thread - then do not post to it. Perhaps it is not expecting too much that this advice applies also to the posts of the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team?

If Shambles wants his threads refreshed, he can jolly well do it himself. I'm not about to help him. If it is an answer to a question or correction of misinformation regarding Mudcat editing, I post it in editorial comments. If it's expression of opinion, I generally post it in a message.
