Feedback Suggestion: Require a publicly-displayed reason for mod edits.

[The Connected Nose]

If a moderator is going to edit someone's post, they should be required to enter a reason, and that should be displayed along with the edited post. This would keep the community informed, rather than wondering why some janny didn't like what a user wrote.

I think they should be required to obtain signed permission slips from the user's mother also.

Don’t they already do that? I’ve definitely seen them do it at least a few times.

almost 100% of mod edits are to thumbnail a fucking image the retard faggot couldn't figure out himself bro. nobody has ever complained of a mod rewriting their post.

I think a mod should edit OP's post so he sounds like less of a faggot.

You left out "deleting entire sections that others have quoted."

maybe you should write a talk to staff post including a specific post you want clarification on, or just go back to /pol/, whichever works for you.

I think the rules are pretty clear, and if you get something deleted, I think the moderator will tell you why via PM (probably along of the lines of "don't act like a sped"). Don't be a shitass, and everything should just work itself out.

Honestly the mods aren’t aggressive enough. When I fuck up, I wanna be told how much of a retard I’m being in front of everybody, then at least one aspect of my post becomes funny.

Be the change you want to see in the world OP. Apply to be a mod. null wants YOU! to join the mod team.

I worked at a law firm and for serious matters with defendants we were seriously going to go to town on I’d have to have my final warning letters checked by one of the senior partners.

There were 3 senior partners and no matter who was in the office as a matter of course no matter how good the letter was, they’d have to edit it. Ego.

So one day when all 3 were in the office I took it to one and he edited it; did the edits and took it to the second one who recommended edits and then took it to the third who then suggested edits. I did this 5 times and on the fifth time the senior partner recognized the case and realized what I had done. He thought it was funny.

My point is no matter how right you are to someone else you are always wrong. So having a Mod publically back and forth with you jusifying the edit is kind of lacking reason; just accept it or post it in another similar thread run by a different mod and it probably will stand.
