I think that we should be allowed to edit others posts, for those of us who have been given the privelledge, and then put the reason for editing it at the bottom such as
EDITED spacing, spelling, grammar, format, character mal-function, god modding
or what ever it is, like in that format, who agrees?

I think this sounds good. But we should have to list the first version of the post in an OOC thing at the bottom of the post so that everyone can see the original. That way Jade and Karl can simply come in latter and ok the chances by deleteing the original part of the post, and leaveing only the edited version.

Hmm, I think thats a bit much, but I guess its a sensible safe guard to people claiming the wrong thing, alright, sure

Not saying that things like that WILL hapend just that they COULD hapend. And mayby not to that extente, but you get the point.

it can't, because it says who edited the post silly. and besides you have to put the original below whatever you change it to

ok say that the original say something...like:
said original: Hy! Im Bob an I like cheees.
then ther is the edit:
Edit: Hi! I'm Bob and I like chees.
However!
Actual Original: Hi I'm Bob. I realy enjoy milk.
My point is that you can change the qouet thus you can change what ppl think, sau, and do. And all we have is one on one with accusations and no proof. Thats why its a bad Idea. Or what is stoping sombody from deleting a post alltogether? We we do let this happen it then it is a 'acsident waiting to hapend.' So No. Dont let other ppl edit posts. I understand that its for gramer and what not. But dose it realy mater? Are you going to die if you spell the word 'Colour' with or without a 'u'? Or have a 'K' in your namr insted of a 'ch'? No, But if it bothers you that mutch, just PM the person. Mayby they have a reason. And just cause you dont agree with it it dosent make you right. It just means its a mater of opinion.

No, he has stated something completely illogical, if we are to PM people, it should be
'Oh, I edited your post because you once again spelt the word cheese, chees in your mission post once more, please don't let it happen again, it is very irritating for all those reading it, as I pointed out in the last PM'
NOT
'Yeah, you can't spell mate, fix it here LINK'
because then they can just reply saying
'No, my dictionary says that you 'do' spell chees without an e at the end, and who the hell are you to tell me I suck at spelling? screw you!' and then nothing happens
I think that John's addition to a reasonable editing format is a wise precaution, and if the the person claims that it never said that, then they can edit it themselves to make it say what they had it say in the first place, or what they intended to say anyway.

Conor Your assuming we are all jerks. And how is my coment illogical? Thats why ppl 'attack' you. With coment like that! you whant that I send you a pm like in your exsample? Demanding that you be more polit? You never change! I disagree with you and you try and make me look like a moron! My point isent illogical, its just not what you like. Your next post will probely be somthing like "Negative you 'Aare' being a moron." Mayby its just me wanting to finaly beat you at somthing, but you are the cause for the deaths of RPGs. You make ppl whant to leave. Like Jeff, true it was stupid of him to leave the USS Blight. But I soport him in leaving the Endynvoir! Its like you enjoy having thes arguments, and enjoy making ppl mad. Its realy sidistic! So If you edit a single one of my posts. I WILL get mad. I dont care if you wear corecting a misspeled word. You PM me the word(s) that are misspeled and ther proper spelling, then I'LL coreck them. You got that Conor. And Karl, or Jade or John, you can be my witness, I WILL Accuse you of disrespecting me! J'ai eut mon plain casque! Thats french btw and its a french saying that means I've had it with you! You just keep adding! And now I've had it!

hmmm again nick has a point there.
also new rule on this. Once Karl or jade has edited a post thats been edited and thus confirmed that the edit is okayd you cannot un edit your post. Conor you are guilty of this but im letting you off since its only been added now, implied before but added now. so, once karl or jade have spoken, theres no turning the post back. got it peoples? also i only edit when and if stuff i have made is miss represented. its all been confirmed by jade so in that matter i ask that you all differ to my judgement on the tech and ships. (enless your jade or karl, or either of them agree with you, in witch case i will back down)

This is terrible idea, I dont mind about spelling or gramma. If we do then me or Jade will edit it. You guys are abusing the powers I gave you. Dont make me take them away. Spelling. big deal.

the only reason i support it is because unlike star trek where everyone knows what everything looks like, here people can make mistakes. Such as conors mistakes in his post. mostly he dosint seem to understand the strengths and weaknesses, and he keeps fighting as if its star trek with differint weapons. I just want the posts to be true to the tech. However if your not cool with me editing posts to match are strong or weak things are i won't.

Thats what I'm saying. I prefer people pull me aside and say hey your making mistakes then have them publicly declare I'm stupid. What I mean by this is that You respect me and who I am by giving me constructive criticism, in a PM, then I'm happy. But if you go and edit my post, then people see that it was edited by somebody else. Who knows I may even just get use to them spell checking that my righting may go worse then before I RPGed.
