SBS9818A SG Autocratic? Insensitive? Instead of appreciating their efforts to make the forum a more conducive space for discussion you diss them in this manner?
SBS9818A SG And why do you disagree? Is it because you know you'll post inflammatory posts in the future that will result in a backlash and you want to just delete that post and forget about it?
iveco SG There are times when we feel that we should update our post. If we can only include fresh info on a new post, and the topic spans more than 10 pages, things could get messy and members may feel lost while reading through it.
SGEMP SG Well, just now, as I was on the SINbus, the functions"bus captain lounge", "feedback and suggestions", "bus discussions" all these disappeared. What had happened? (Please explain for me what have happened thank you.)
Apex-LW'21 SG Either the mods delete the threads or the topic is down for maintenance. The 'Fantasy Buses' thread are gone also. 'Bus Discussions', 'Bus Captain Lounge' and 'Feedback and Comments' threads are up already when I visit there just now. (2150 hrs) All these topic (including fantasy buses thread) are finally up!
service_238 SG i dont think the mods will replace a flammatory post with a "--deleted--" and the like. What's the post for them? IMO the editing function has a limit as such is to prevent the users themselves from editing to "--deleted--" in an event of any flame wars and whatsoever. if the mods lifted this limit they can just delete any tom dick or harry post that ignite the flame war (if there is one) right? what for putting the rule in the first place? purpose of the editing function is to 1. prevent users from editing their own posts, especially those in flame wars 2. enables mods to keep track/check the post content of the user should none of them be unavailable at that point in time. i have encountered such forums before and so far flame wars there have been minimal as discussions on issues are more active there. on the other hand i also understand the need for the user to have it disabled not because u can retype your flame post to "--deleted--" but for other reasons as well. Say your fantasy bus company needs a route information update in the main post or whatsoever. and all relevant examples which i'm lazy to type them now then again, each forum got its own rules and regulations. just abide by it and get used to it
