Post Edited by Mod

[Wandering Fool]

I just officially joined and posted in the new members introductions. This morning I went through the post and saw a note on the bottom of my original post saying “last edited by moderator xx:xx”
I am curious what this might be about? Is there a way to determine who edited what?
I did a cursory search but couldn’t find information, my apologies if this information is right under my nose!
I have read the etiquette and rules post.
Thanks!

Can't really help other than to say it's happened to me on several occasions. I've never received any feedback as to what was found to be below forum standards in my edited posts. I did a quick review of my edited posts to ensure that nothing important to the message had changed and then moved on.

Thanks for the response captpat.

Why start a thread about it - just send a message to the moderator who responded in your original thread. It's been edited so who knows why other than him, lol. Probably just capitalized a word or two in the title? But, again, it was edited so no way for us to know. Doubt it was anything to be worried about - enjoy the forum and don't sweat the small stuff!

I started a post about it because in the note it just says, “…a moderator…” so I don’t know which moderator to ask.

They likely just corrected a misspelled word in the title or if it was all caps, changed it to lowercase. It was most likely something so minor that the moderator didn’t feel the need to make note of it. There are some rules on how to format your posts but I don’t think many people read those.

A moderator responded in your thread . . . . again, don't sweat it, if you'd really done something wrong there would have been a dead rabbit on your doorstep this morning.

Again, enjoy!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

In addition to what others have mentioned, it never hurts to review the forum rules (which include title requirements).

BTW, welcome aboard and enjoy. This motley crew of codgers is actually a legit think-tank when it comes to pipes and tobacco. I'm just the forum idiot who posts about food.

I’ve had posts straight-up deleted. Heh heh, oops.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

And sorry, wasn’t busting your chops!

Just a rookie mistake is all it is. Our mods do a great job of things.

Mod works in mysterious ways. Trust is important.

You didn’t get a two week time out. Don’t sweat it.

Two weeks? I was forgotten until I sent email to Kevin. I did ask to be banned, so my fault. Yeah, don't sweat it until you don't hear from a mod.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Pretty sure it was me and I changed two lower cased words into upper case in your title.
I usually don't comment of these for newcomers, and mostly they go unnoticed.

Does that close the matter for you? You can PM me if you have more questions.

When I was new here, I had a post removed. The moderator notified me but didn't explain. I went back to the post and couldn't for the life of me figure out what was amiss.

I think maybe I got into a discussion that had caused trouble before, since my post seemed non-controversial and innocuous.

I just said thanks for the heads-up and kept on posting. So far, so good, after ten years plus on Forums.

Sometimes, if you don't make it an issue, it isn't.

I think we have a bow on this one.
