I was just curious... how high up on the priorities is editing of comments? Near the top I hope. ;-)

iwz Jul 19, 2006

Haha, sorry, that's pretty low. I'm not sure if I'll allow it, actually.

Okay, that's not true. I think what I'll do is give you a window of time where you can edit. Like, within the first 2 minutes you'll be able to edit your comment.

ok, ok so.. if it turns out to be truly heinous, will we be able to bug a mod to change?

That would just be alot of extra work no? Like my comment 472 in musings I double pasted the link, I would want to bug anybody about that.

Another nameless poster unknowingly used a heinous expression (he happened to be a mod and expunged all the many, many references to it)

What about us peons? While I understand the reasoning... and will respect your decision, I would like to express my desire to be able to edit. :-)

well it's a good way for IAN to make sure the mods are doing their jobs.

They should be deleting double posts and editing bad content.

FIRE the lazy mods

i don't like people changing the past.

C'mon Ian aren't you an Orwellian fan?

OR ARE YOU REALLY WINSTON SMITH?!?!??!

The Ministry of Truth
The propaganda arm of Oceania's regime. Minitrue controls information: political literature, the Party organization, and the telescreens. Winston Smith works for Minitrue, "rectifying" historical records and newspaper articles to make them conform to Big Brother's most recent pronouncements, thus making everything that the Party says true.

i will not be confused by your doublespeak.

I am obviously firmly opposed to The Ministry of Truth and its Orwellian antics!

Two minutes is OK... I guess.. is it open for negotiation? Five would be better, Ten ideal.

Two minutes goes by too quick and does/would it reset for another two? So like you didn't get the HTML right, you could return again and again until it was right?

I think we should introduce newspeak into Ezabel, eliminating all those words we don't really need.
