The only thing that EVER makes me consider leaving this board is threads like this.  Maybe it's just me, but I've just never seen the reason for someone to spend their time going over every post with a fine toothed comb and explaining what is wrong with them.  This board is what we make of it, and there is no way we are going to like every single post, so why not just enjoy the ones we are interested in and go on?  What a concept.

Oops, sorry, FC - didn't mean to steal your words about the board is what we make of it.  I hadn't read page 3 yet.  Great minds think alike, huh?  ;)

I have to agree...and I do input fluff...and I do ask and answer real camping and popup questions...BUT the reason I DID join this board and PAY for it even though I also use several other free ones..is the "family" feeling of this board. People seemed very knowledgable about their popups and ready to help with any camping issues, but they also seemed to just be there for each other.  I liked the atmosphere here.....but posts like this one now make me leary of responding to anything.

It used to say.... "edited by Mommamia (or whomever) on....."  Not anymore. So you can't tell who did the editing.  My guess is if it was a Mod. that edited it would say "edited by Moderator such and such".  Or at least i think that's what it should say! And I do think it should say WHEN it was edited.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
I have "ALWAYS" gotten good solid advice and help here at PUT! Lot's of good things have happend to my camper and on camping trips because of PUT, The board has been a great place to visit. I even have gotten help with things that  had nothing to do with camping. One board member saved me a couple hundred bucks by helping me with a heater problem I was having in my home. I fixed it myself by him being a good board member and friend to a fellow camper!
It is fairly simple folks..... RELAX!
This is a good community to be a part of. I will stay as long as I can. I just wish we could get the chat room back.......... ;)
That is where I really got to know some GOOD FOLKS! :J
I eventually ended up camping with plenty of them on more than one occasion!
I hope to plenty more too! :M

Miss-Teri's post is at the bottom of page 1 of this thread.
 
 
Now, just look at some interesting statistics: General has over 1457 threads and 13704 posts while Campfire has 1225 threads and 15,170 posts when I last checked this a.m. There are other interesting ways to know who is posting to what by checking out the membership area and "finding all posts." It categorizes what each member has posted and it is also time and date stamped. Interesting!
 
Please pass me a Diet Dr. Pepper and the potato chips.;) :D :D :D

I think that only the person that made the post can do an edit, besides the moderator....

as a famous person once said
"Why can't we all just get along!"
I have not posted much, as I have moved to the dark side..
A travel trailer in the last 2 months. I am looking and asking questions that relate to my new camping past time, TT camping on several different web sites Irv2 and RvNet. These site are more on the 5er, MH, and TT side. So my time is better spent on these sites. But if Dave ever moves to a TT will this site move too.
I still visit here and PUX and will til my time runs out.
But over the course of the 3 plus years I have been on/around PUT I have learned a lot and have met a lot of good folks here and the other boards. I have camped with a lot of you and have made good friends with others.
see ya round &
Happy Trails,
randy

Sorry, I was hoping I deleted it before anyone saw it.  I thought twice about it and decided I shouldn't really say anything.  It pretty much just said it's this kind of thread that bothers me - the kind where people are insulting others, or their type of posts.  If something were to make me leave, it would be that kind of behavior, not "fluff" posts, etc.

Yes, i know that, but it would be nice to know if the poster edited or the moderator.  As it stands, we can't tell if Miss Teri edited her post because she reconsidered the statement she made or if the Mod thought it was not appropriate and changed it.  

Also, if when a post is edited it showed when it was changed it would be easier to tell if it was changed just because of some wording error of if it was due to responses that followed.  Having to go back to the persons profile and search all the post and find what was said when to clarify is such a run around.  And if the original post is still logged under the persons profile, what good is it to be able to edit?  I mean, if I say something like  "John-o is a doofus" and I edit that out because I realized that that's rude and everyone can still go back to my history of posts and still see that I called John-o a doofus, then what's the point of my editing?

Ok....

Never mind about the original unedited post being logged in post history of member profile.  I just tested it and the only post that shows is the new, edited version.

I type I have blue hair.

I edited my post to  say I have red hair.

Prifile post history only shows the new post... I have red hair.

I still think it should say who and when it was edited.  

Now, back to the subject matter.
