"I edited him because he spammed the board with 'Legion am gay' posts, if you MUST know."

Well, there's no "must," but I do appreciate your saying so. Between this and what TD-the-ghost was doing on other threads, I gathered that at least some of the moderators had chosen to begin editing for content.

"HE didn't have a problem with it ... why do you?"

I'd wait to see whether the "he didn't have" kicks in over the longer term, such as a few days of his not coming back to make such graffiti ... but that's me.

What bothers me is suddenly seeing "Edited by" (this only appears when the moderators do it) without any explanation. That ends up making it appear that we can't count on our words being here when we come back to them.

It's also given the wrong impression to some newcomers such as "Polar Boy," who thought anyone could edit anyone else's posts. I made a note in passing to him on another thread about that not being the case.

"And your current obsession with thinking everyone is one of my alternate IDs is growing wearisome ..."

Mike, I simply asked, once, in public. I had no "obsession," and I regret giving any appearance of having one. I also thought it possible that you had changed your mind since your telling me privately last week that you didn't have alternate IDs at this forum.

With the tangle of edits and re-edits above I couldn't tell what you were writing, or re-writing, or only apparently re-writing, for that other guy -- or if that was another guy. I doubt I was the only one.

"Just wanted to mention that I support Lash in his efforts to curb spamming on the boards, whether of the 'Legion am gay' variety or in the form of continuous reposts of the same obnoxious pictures. Based on discussions among the moderators, I take it that LL and TD agree."

I know many of us would appreciate your proclaiming this in a sticky post, if you the four moderators have come to a policy consensus -- and intend to remove spammed postings or images, how you define such spam, and whether you will be doing it in the future without notice otherwise to the rest of us.

Without hearing anything else from you, I have been reluctant in the last few days to post any more hotlinked Legion or fan-art images, on the chance that you the mods had decided that you didn't want them any more. I wasn't able to tell whether what I had posted earlier, or might yet post, was now "offensive" or "obnoxious" to you or not. You posted no standards.

If you have generated policy, on anti-spam, images, or otherwise, we the members need to know what it is.
