thread titles? I think only mods/admin should be able to do this. I think it is not good ability for us feuding posters to have and detrimental to board. Thanks, --Jibri |

Possibly. But isn't that one of your past times Jib? xP I'll ask Neelick. That might be a good idea. |

Not really pasttime, just because others do it too sometimes. It is used as a retaliatory measure most of the time with other 1% to correct misspellings or give better name to thread - but this can be done through moderator. So far, I see no other board with this ability, it not good imnsho. |

Yes, it is possible to deny that permission in the BBS settings. Whether it is a good idea or not is a different matter altogether. People going back and "tampering with the evidence" of their posts is a bit unusual so I doubt that Neelick would go along with a change of permissions. One thing that is a bit easier to do is enable the timestamps for edits so that everyone can see when and where posts were edited and by whom. The timestamp won't reveal what a post's original words were, but it can certainly cast doubt upon the credibility of what is currently written there. |

Can the thread author edit the title? I've never considered even trying to do this. Also wondering why one would want to change the title of a topic? |

To piss everyone off. It's a common trend recently. |

Well it seems to me that a thread's origional topic should not change. If the topic of the post changes it sounds like a new post should be started. So I think for now I'd liek to leave this setting as it currently stands. Changing the title may cause people to not be able to find a post they've been watching. And ease of being able to find what you want is important on the Internet. Its the primary reason that Google is such a popular search engine. |
