I think you get the point.

But in case you didn't, this post shall be written by Opticallove.

pfft, i thought Oppi love was back then

'coz the first place she'd post if she'd been MIA for over two years is in here, right?

Yeah, that's exactly what I said.

In fact, you can't do this with the ACP

See, I even said that admin rights wouldn't even cut it.

I then demonstrated how it could be done and tricked Buck into thinking Opti was back at the same time! ^^

Jack wrote:That sounds like a matter of trust to me. Jason obviously doesn't trust you enough not either abuse your "privileges" or break something

Possibly true, who knows but more importantly, who cares? I have enough control to perform the tasks required of me. As do the other mods.

Indeed

Jack wrote:Oh don't get me wrong, I just find it extremely odd that you have a bunch untrustworthy people in a position of "power"

True, he did offer it but unfortunately we aren't able to use it.

It comes down to this being a requests and suggestions issue. Jack and Tok`ra you've both made some very good suggestions that i am taking on board. But this particular issue is so minor and trivial and to solve it would require a very large amount of work for so very little reward. If I give all of the mods power to edit authors then it will be you two accusing me in two weeks of allowing mods to do impersinate other users.

A lot of your suggestionstions are good, but this one isn't. Can we please just let it go and move onto some of the other ones that will actually improve the boards?
