Reply to Does it seem like a security risk to have mods be able to edit other people's posts? by flabberghaster

So, we have moderation logs, but AFAIK they don't mark edits. This is good for, say, scouring the site of spam links or porn posts or whatnot.

For the health of a larger site run by postmill, I'd say it's definitely bad. Forum mods should not be able to edit someones post. Admins would have the power but probably shouldn't.

Not to be a "muh freeze peach" chud, but I think it's plainly icky for mods and admins to edit posts, even in jest. The only exceptions I could see are syntactically-clear mod edits, a-la "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST".

Reply to rant about capitalism and software by hollyhoppet

It is seriously bonkers to me that people see advances in technology due to competition, clap their hands and go "That's the power of capitalism :)" and their thinking turns off right there and doesn't go any further.

Btw when will jstpst have stories? We need to compete

Yes! Fuck yes!! I love this video!!!

This video is so clear and informative. It is probably one of the best educational videos I've ever seen. It taught me about digital signals, sure, but it also taught me what a good educational video looks like.

I've been enthusiastic about this video for like... Five years now? Hot diggity damn.
