You know a site has crap mods when they piss about with people's posts without letting them know.

| Y'know what, how about we just never meet ever. It'll save a lot of talking and plan making followed by cancellation, followed by talking and plan making followed by cancellation.... |

I think I've only seen one regular mod and one mod that I rarely ever see post. They're nice but I hardly ever seem to see any of their posts or other mods. |

You're referring to the large block of smileys rabbitears posted, which caused display problems so I therefore reduced it to around 1/3 of its original size? | WP rules wrote: | Posting Specifications

Next time I'll just delete it, Ok?
And there - you now have advance warning too.

I checked it in preview and after I posted it and it didn't cause any disruption on my monitor at all, sorry if it did for anyone else's but it did no such thing for me.
Could I just ask that you let me know next time via PM or something, just so I don't feel like people have been going behind my back. If I knew it'd cause a disruption for anyone I wouldn't have left it as I did.
Also please don't threaten me by saying you'll delete my posts because of what MONKEY said. We are not the same person after all. I had no say in what she posted there so don't punish me for what she did.

One post consisting entirely of smileys that practically filled the screen qualifies as a page format disruption, TBH.
| Quote: | | Could I just ask that you let me know next time via PM or something, just so I don't feel like people have been going behind my back. |
The edit was self-evident and I'm sorry, but there are other things I should be doing that don't involve explaining how I'd reduced a screenful of smileys down to something less disruptive and in any case, the point you were making was (I'd guess) still being made - although, if there was some significance to the precise number of smileys you used then I can only apologise for not understanding that.
As a block of "Mad" smileys conveys a much larger and unquantifiable degree of "Mad" than one, two or even ten icons - I therefore considered the content to be essentially unchanged.
Edited post content: an inappropriate image or video is normally replaced by a short moderator's note explaining why it was removed but we generally request textual changes (insulting or sweary content, for example) via PM and edit or remove that text only on the member failing to do so.
I regularly edit the display of images larger than 800x600 as and when I come across them because the forum software doesn't scale the aspect ratio correctly and it's relatively easy to correct. Depending on the context I often make no comment on doing this.

Or more accurately, this: | MONKEY wrote: | | You know a site has crap mods when they piss about with people's posts without letting them know. |
Making anonymous whiny posts is neither useful nor productive.

Well it's bound to happen in this thread, it's not meant to be productive anyway.

You made it a third of the size, and if you were to look at the remainder of my post and times that by 3 it will by no means take up the entire page.
Just please inform me in future if you must do something similar again (I will try to make sure you wont need to). I was thinking I had been fiddled about with for no reason and it worried me, in a similar way to being hacked would. Just a little explanation would have saved a lot of confusion on my part.
