+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted March 2, 2017 Subscriber² Share Posted March 2, 2017 When a member quotes another member, editing the quote should not be possible. Is this a Bug or an issue that was just overlooked. It should not be even permitted by the Forum Software, Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1324124-quoting-posts-and-editing-the-content/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circaflex Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I doubt there is an easy way to prevent this, but is it really that big of a deal? I think there are still a few, higher priority bugs the devs are ironing out before they would tackle something like this. One can easily see the original comment and base their judgement off of that, rather than a quote with edits. I am sure there is a forum rule somewhere that would relate to this, no one should be editing a quote to mis-represent what the original author stated or putting words in someones mouth, I think reporting that post would suffice?

Expand When a member is quoted the words that the member posted should not be changed period and the forum software should prohibit it. I believe in bulletin=tin forums and others it is not possible. If it is ever done again without a notification, I will do as Circaflex suggested . When you edit and change the members post, you are changing what the member posted and are violating this person's belief that what he/she posts will remain in tact and not altered by another member. This is just not right. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1324124-quoting-posts-and-editing-the-content/#findComment-597813130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO this section should be only answered by Staff that can do something about the problem at hand. Expand Let me explain to you what I can decide, Gary: 1) I can decide to post in a forum that is open for all members to post in. I didn't decide how the issue you raised should be handled, though. My comment didn't attempt to do that. 2) I can decide that I disagree with your assertion regarding editing quoted posts. Like others said, it's nice to take a small phrase from someone's post and respond to just that, or bold it to make it more obvious. I didn't attempt to decide anything. Additionally, the 'H' in IMHO stands for humble. You don't necessarily sound that way in your responses here. Finally, the "problem at hand" appears to be primarily your problem, not a site or forum problem.
