Pester away Lake, you are never a bother. I have installed an editing approval button in my sig, feel free to use it as often as you need it, my door is always open and I promise you a quick decision in in each case, after carefully reviewing all the pertinent facts of course




:hmm3grin2orange:



You need to work on that new feature Dave........:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

I also think that's a good idea someone (Treeco?) suggested about locking pictures up so they can't be edited. If you ain't got nads enough to stand behind what you put out there, then don't post.

Good point Tom, and nice of you to give Dan the credit as well. He comes up with some good ideas quite often ;)














































note to self :kill picture editing in the control panel ;)

Its like a bad accident on the highway. I keep looking at it, wanting to click on it but afraid of what might happen if I do.:hmm3grin2orange:

This post was obnoxious and overbearing and misleading and I'd like to apologize for it and set things right, which is what a real man does when he makes a mistake. Instead of editing or deleting and pretending it never happened.
I'm having some real fun now.:blob2: :blob2:
 
I voted for 48 hrs. but I was thinking about it last night and in truth I prefer no timelimit. There will be some abuse perhaps and I could live with a time limit, but to be pefectly honest I like the old way better.

Now I have 59 minutes ....
 
No, not according to the agreement. You were given an ownership right to your post, I didn't see anything about the right to edit, let alone the right to edit indefinitely.


that maybe so according to AS rules, but to me that's a funny description of the word "ownership" :jester:
 

That would be perfect. I screwed up pics on a post, now I can't change it. I can see them, but the rest of the world can't. I had to repost the pics after I was told they couldn't be seen. It was only 2 hours later and I could'nt fix it. To put it simply, this 1 hour edit feature SUCKS!
 
what was the problem that stated this mess in the first place?

anyone got a link?
 
I'm a bit of a grammar/spelling fanatic. When I quote someone I usually correct any spelling mistakes in the quote before I post it. LOL I voted for 48hrs, that should be plenty of time to notice any spelling, grammatical, or photo errors.

As far as post ownership goes, if the owner of AS can find some way to make money off of what I spew out, then more power to him. :dizzy:

OK.... found it. http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=47045

can't believe ONE a**hole comes in with express purpose of disrupting things and was apparently successful.

that's based upon changing edit rules that affects ALL AS regulars.

most other forums would have immediately locked the thread and banned that a**hole's IP. then after conferring with other admins, deleted the thread.

this entire mess is causing more work for the admins. which should be reduced if anything.

things needs to put back where it was before and let us get back to normal.

Check out the Seig Heil thread.


It wasn't so much of a problem as it was a knee jerk reaction to one members complaint who was concerned about another members post.:laugh:

I voted on the 48 hrs, because it is nice to be able to correct yourself sometimes, maybe not so much what you said, but how it is worded or spelling mistakes.
I agree if AS can make money on some of the nonsense crap I post :confused: good for them, I never could seem to make anything on what I have to say.:hmm3grin2orange:
