About me: Twoflower is the optimistic-but-naive tourist. He often runs into danger, being certain that nothing bad will happen to him since he is not involved. He also believes in the fundamental goodness of human nature and that all problems can be resolved, if all parties show good will and cooperate.

Do you see the edit button next to quote in the top right of your posts?

Admins and mods have that on every post on the forum.
So you use that feature, that's available to only administrators, to alter a members post?

You changed it because YOU didn't like what I posted?

That sort of thing is allowed here?
It was a joke.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

You are talking about a forum that uses the board warning software for fun, that has altered the wording of standard features to take the piss, http://rationalia.com/forum/viewonline.php and you wonder why I changed a youtube link?

It was a joke. Nothing more malicious than you "fixing" my post.

No, it was a misuse of administrative privileges.

It says something about the staff here if they brush this off as a "joke"

The staff is now defending one of their own for pulling a boneheaded move.

Yes it was, I do it all the time, you did read the rank under my name? It isn't a secret, or a surprise, if you really want to get worked up I should probably tell you that I have banned people for making puns. Including other staff.

Its all in fun, DP would never do anything like that maliciously. If he did he wouldn't be staff.

Nah, she has a point pluto, playing jokes like I did with someone who knows it's a joke is one thing, with someone who doesn't and isn't used to some of the quirks here it can be off putting to think that such abuses could go unnoticed and unpunished.

:whisper: The bans in question were about 30 seconds long, and it wasn't a threat, I was giving you further evidence of my abuses of my staff position.

True, I was under the assumption everyone knew where you come from and that you do this sort of thing as a joke.

Sorry for seeming flippant Martok.

Sorry that's pure bullshit. I've never been on a forum that permitted staff to alter posts that didn't violate forum rules. THAT'S PURE FUCKING SHIT!!

I guess I better get my licks in now cause I'm sure you and DP will delete these posts.

Unbelievable.

We don't delete posts here, except for spam, but fire away.

There is a section of the forum for dealing with issues if you'd like to start a thread there to complain about this obvious and blatant breach of the rules: http://rationalia.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=27
