    But we can’t and that’s the point. It makes you look like the authoritarian you are.

    There is a window where you can edit and it doesn't add the edited tag. Everyone has that ability.
    If you don't like how it's setup, start a Help Desk thread. Otherwise, this is an example of "sour grapes."

    When did you edit it? This has potential to be a career ending scandal.

    I don't have a problem with editing. I do it myself. But everyone can tell when I did it. And Amaris tends to post something nasty and then go back and flower it up.

    I've often felt like Amaris was gaslighting about something I definitely saw. Now I know that if she did I'd have to take her word for it that it didn't happen.

    Usually a minute or so as something else comes to me and I want to add. It's the ADHD. I will post, and then my brain "and also this!" and I have to quickly add it, which usually results in "and this too!" which I have to go and add also, even if I think I'm done.

    As for my career, I can weather the storm with the millions I've made from admining Wordforge. I was going to celebrate my wealthy by taking a trip down to the Titanic.

    The Administrators and Moderators are free to show what I've edited if they so desire. I have no secrets in that regard.

    You just tried what? Editing? You should be able to edit your posts.

    If you edited within a few minutes of the original post, then it's cool.

    Rights are for the little people.

    Oh, wait, it originally said 'weasel.' I know I saw that.

    But when I go to check, it says authoritarian - but it also has 'Last edited: 1 minute ago.'

    Huh. Some animals are more equal.

    Always. I never change it after people respond. If they do, and I catch it, I will put "EDITED TO ADD:" or something like that. I don't go back and secretly change what I said. Plus, if you quote tweet me, then no matter what I edit in my post, you have what I actually said before the edit, so... really there's nothing here.

    If someone posts after you then it will show edited regardless of how quickly you make your change.

    How long ago did you make the post before you tried to edit it? The window is very small.

    I think that's the window. But if someone posts after you the window closes.

    Edit 1

    Edit 2

    Edit 3

    Edit 4. Amaris just posted below this.

    Shit still doesn't show edited.

    Edit 6. Must be a 5 minute window regardless.

    Generally yes, that's how the software is supposed to work. The idea is pretty much for how I use it: to add something quickly, to fix a spelling or grammatical mistake, to fix formatting issues, things like that. More to the point, any other Mod or Admin can see the edit history, so if an Admin claimed they didn't edit a post, another Mod or Admin can actually go check and see if it's true.

    So the board is having technical problems, and FF and Demi think it's a dark conspiracy?

    No the board isn't having problems. Just the people on it.

    And it says as such. My post response to Amaris was 6 minutes after her initial response, was the original post, and hers doesn't say edited with the edit in place.

    The fact you guys can't see this could be very problematic is... typical. LOL.

    You started a thread in the Help Desk, which I said you should do if you were concerned. Your question was answered immediately by me, and then by @shootER.
    I then stated the following:

    I'm not sure what more you're looking for here.

    Never mind, I opened a thread on it in the Help Desk, and another Admin stated that Admins do indeed have the capability to edit in silent mode, and to clear edit tags that already exist.

    yeah, I've done it for my zoom.
    been kinda wanting to use "masc." in there, sorta to provide more leeway for non EFL people.

    I dunno... I just call people as they ask me to and don't really care about how or where they piss, so long as they hit the bowl.

    She made it seem like there was an editing tool that you can use to not show that your post was edited. Now sh'es trying to say there's a window of time to edit your post without anyone knowing.

    I dunno if that works...

    Like "trans" isn't a slur unless it's modifying something specifically derogatory, like "freak". OTOH, "Tranny" is kind of in "their word" territory because it has been a slur-or at least a term of ridicule.

    "Cis-"... as a slur? I'm gonna need an example or two.

    Cissy? that's all I can think of... kinda outdated maybe a bit ironic?

    That's because there is a conspiracy and @Demiurge just exposed it.:lol: This explains a whole lot.
