Why was the Title on my Topic Changed - PHP Dev Call

@s_molinari

Then it needs changing by someone other than Mitt.

I don’t understand why though. The community is self regulating for the most part. If someone screws up, we will fix it. This wasn’t a case of Mitt screwing it up.

Does it really matter if @cpradio edits your title, apposed to Mitt?

@s_molinari

Yes, I agree with that. But, like I said, I wasn’t trying to mislead and I don’t think I was and it was fairly clear, I wasn’t intentionally misleading anyone.

Of course. It doesn’t change the fact that it was .

@s_molinari

What do you call changing a text, so it has a different meaning than what was originally intended by the author?

That isn’t censorship. As cpradio said, it’s clarifying.You’restill getting the same end result.

@s_molinari

If it is only the title and it is a hard privilege to get. Ok.

You’re fairly active. And you don’t have TL3. We have several staff who have trouble regularly keeping TL3. That should tell you it’s hard to get for the average user. Aka those who get it generally love SP.

@s_molinari

Still, this should be a privilege reserved for proper team members, especially so team members can’t weasel out of the activity by saying, “Sorry, we have no control over user X’s actions.”

My words should not be confused. We cannot control what Mitt, or another TL3 person does, but that does NOT mean that if they screw up, we will not take swift action to correct it.

TL3 can only move posts, edit titles, and edit thread tags. It’s very minor modding ability. So nothing bad can really happen. We can’t control what TL3 users do more than we can control what you post. But you bet your a** that if things get out of control, we will take care of it.
