Editing Rights Question
It actually reminds me most of the episode of the "orville" recently where they visit an un-developed planet and everyone has these badges they wear. These badges have an up arrow and a down arrow, and anyone can click these arrows but yourself. So if you do a good deed and someone notices they can bump your arrow up and this improves your reputation. If you do something rude or mean they hit the down arrow and you loose this score. You can also get someones ID number and do it remotely over a phone app too so if something ends up in the news on TV as it did in this episode, millions of people can down vote you. Once you get to like negative 8 million or something you end up on a tv show with a chance to give your story and seek forgiveness and whatnot but if during the final vote phase you hit negative 10 million you get "reconditioned" which is something similar to shock therapy until you are not yourself anymore kinda thing.
The original issue is on the moderation itself, of which has been said multiple times in the last couple weeks in a few different threads a clear cut set of rules of conduct and also relating to moderation is being developed and the first drafts are actually done, hatter has done to my understanding an amazing job on it but also had some helpers, and it is currently under review of quite a few other members of various rank as well and when its agreed upon will get posted accordingly, until then it's not so clear cut and is still up to the interpretation of anyone who has moderation rights.
That being said EVERY moderation action CAN be reviewed, and as it has been said quite a few times as well those requests are done via formerly Private Message to any of the moderators or a Councillor. This act has NOT to my knowledge been done other then the creation of this public thread which is not the way it should have been done. Once this request is made a thread goes up in a private area of the forum with a copy paste of the requests, a link to the thread where the moderation took place any evidence of such and discussion starts then. It also usually filters over to the council chat which is connected to every council members phone so we are all very quick to be notified and begin discussing etc, which is a new improvement on things and pretty impressive. (We had a moderation request come in the other day and within about 15 minutes of that request a majority of the council was involved in discussion of it which was very impressive to me).
The request once reviewed is decided upon, in some cases reversed, in some cases reinforced, but more importantly learned from, grown from, evolved from, much like all of our experiences and lessons in our lives and our training wherever that may be. No one individual is infallible, here or anywhere else. So the whole Jedi maturity, lets loosely walk around who is holier then thou pissing contest that happens under the table and guise of a legitimate question and strive to look out for the "underdogs" and the "Jedi everywhere", or try and appear to be the "savior" can stop now...I vaguely remember a saying from someone that stated there wouldn't be any drama or problems if everyone would "Be a Jedi".
I feel like too many people worry about how their actions "look" and less on what are the appropriate actions period. A Jedi does not seek fame, does not seek glory, does not seek gratitude, does not seek to instill chaos. Your request Opie is totally legitimate, and is important to how you post I'm in full agreement, that's not even in debate. But I feel there are better ways to have done that then what has transpired. However its here, its done, lets ALL learn, grow, move forward shall we?
All that being said I will start the formal request for review on this point and we will proceed from there. In regards to the editing rights original question, the rules will be made more clear and more obvious here in the near future when those are done being revised and reviewed and made sure we have had plenty of different perspectives on it so that we have met the best interest of our community as well, and to be patient as a lot of big steps are going on at the council level and improvements to the training programs and a ton of other things that are in work and progress which like all things, takes time.

The objectivity that comes with being ignorant does not make up for the ignorance.
Knowing the specifics is not necessarily compulsory as all human conflicts emanate from the same patterns.
Knowing the specifics IS compulsory. In what domain of activity is it true that you can fix problems which you do not understand?
This might look reasonable to you if you are totally ignorant of the history. If you understand the history, this moment is Trump being absolutely ridiculous.

1.) There was a way to recover it actually. Ez-Board had a feature for Gold Boards at the time which backed-up forums and allowed you to restore everything with a click of a button. The fact that those in-charge chose not to disclose that information and instead played the 'Oh No! Everything is lost for good!!" angle is something they have to live with. So you know - Ignorance, yet Knowledge and all that. Might want to seek the whole story before assuming.Speaking of moderator abuse, Master Opie, how about the entire site you deleted with no way to recover it? Years of posts and discussions gone.
2.) In 2001 when this happened I was held accountable publicly and didn't earn back Administrator abilities for another four years. Action, Consequence. I have never hide from it. Never buried it. Never run from it. In fact it is a part of the training program at my site. So not sure your point? What that I know well the importance of Accountability of those in-charge? Indeed. I have been on all sides.
lol Yes. After something was said. True.I was correctly moderated here. Our system worked.
It speaks volumes of a place that this is considered a tactic or guise. It astounds me the hypocrisy taking place in this reply alone. I had 100% forgotten the culture here. But You are absolutely right. Moving Forward. Moving On. Focus on what is important. 0123456789strive to look out for the "underdogs" and the "Jedi everywhere"

Should his efforts be frowned upon because he's not "in the know" I don't think so, if anything it's a chance for everyone to cool heels and reflect before making a further ass out of themselves. Not only that, you having to remind him how he doesn't quite get it is derailing this thread, let's keep the topic on point peeps....

Should his efforts be frowned upon? No. But we have enough issues with people jumping into topics they dont understand. You want to let a new person form a bad habit, go ahead. Id rather point it out to him and hey maybe others will pick up the message too.
