Can moderators edit each other? #1 (permalink) Mon Oct 16, 2006 21:29 pm   Can moderators edit each other?
 

Hi

I am aware that moderators can edit or delete our posts. I would like to know if they could also edit each other's posts!

Tom

P.S. Two of my posts have recently and accidentally been deleted by two moderators. :shock:

Hi Tom, why would a moderator want to edit another moderator's post? Also, how do you know any of our moderators has removed two posts of yours?

As I did with your post the other day (sorry again!), I unintentionally deleted another moderator's post once -- the edit and quote buttons are just too close together!

Hey, Tom! Unless your two posts included massive lists of links for discount miracle drugs, shady insurance deals, triple-X websites, etc., then I haven't ever deleted you. Never ever!

.
I agree with you, Conchita. The edit and quote buttons are uncomfortably close together. I wonder how complicated it would be to spread them apart a little.

Hi

Despite I was already given an answer:

Besides that, when buttons 'delete' and 'quote' are so close (and on the same side of the window), they often tend to be mixed up…

That's why the system asks if you really want to delete that post and only after you hit the yes button the action is carried out.

I add my thin little voice to the discussion, again.

This still happens, in fact, again and again. And facts are very stubborn things, you know.

How to delete posts? #7 (permalink) Tue Oct 17, 2006 11:23 am   How to delete posts?
 

If you hit the delete button, the following question comes up:
Are you sure you want to delete this post? So you have to confirm the deletion by pressing the yes button. It takes two clicks to remove a post and we can maybe it helps if we highlight the warning in red.
