Editing Rights Question
I get not liking the Church of Jediism. I do. But going into people's topics and editing the link to his dedicated website of mockery seems an over-reach. Certainly doesn't seem like something a Jedi Site would support? He can claim not to be a Jedi, so having those type of sites to begin with can exist under that banner. But allowing him to edit a person's topic because of that personal distaste? Changing a link because of his own issue. Is that really the image and behavior this place wants to encourage?
To be clear - if the answer is yes, then cool deal. Or some form of yes by inactivity, then cool. I am just trying to discern what level of invasion is allowed here and how it is regulated. If that is - he is the founder so he can do what he wants. Again, cool deal. Just looking to understand what this group allows. Just seemed to me to be an over-reach and not really fall in line with behavior that might be normally encouraged. 0123456789

Editing a link from one URL to another. . . . That's... yeah no, not cool John. . . As it is, there's already a ton of discussion going on about moderators editing posts. It's one of the things that was commented on in the climate survey. To simply redirect the link because you don't approve of (and we know you don't) the founder of the other site is uncalled for and a bit inappropriate.
And thanks for posting this Opie. Greatly appreciated.

The reason for this at least to my understanding is that supporting outside sites puts our reputation linked to theirs and should they promote something less than legal or healthy we can become tied to that same support. Or at least that is my own view on not allowing links or openly supporting any particular site.

I don't go on your site and tell people your issues or criticize the way you do things. That would be rude. Especially if it was an issue that could be resolved with a PM. That would make me an

. You could have PM'd me and asked about it. You could have PM'd member affairs about it. The only person with a right to complain is the poster. The name of the place was still there. Do you think anyone here is not capable of finding Daniel Jones' for profit business named The Church of Jediism? Since you've decided to try and make a public spectacle out of it please continue and really do it right. Have another drink, then kindly tell me any facts I'm wrong about on http://BecomeTheFarce.com and I'll correct them. I'd also like to know how telling the truth about something is mocking something.Warning: Spoiler!an ass. A shit scabbed puckered asshole
If we are indeed worried about external links reflecting poorly on TOTJO, should we not worry about how it reflects upon this Organization when a senior member publicly insults a person asking a legitimate question in a forum titled "Confused? Ask for Help"?
Also, is such an inflammatory response likely to achieve the desired result of stopping this issue on its tracks, or does it only add to the fire?
I am confused. Please do help.
