Reason: Merged consecutive posts
 

What the heck is up with posts being edited by the mods to merge them together?

Are you really that strapped for disk space?

the reason they do this is to reduce spamming so other members can read though threads easier

if u have to say something after you post just go back to your last one and hit the edit button and add on to that it will save mods time in having to merge your posts

Something like that could fall under a couple of our policies here on the forums depending on the situation:

It's always helpful if users read the policies they agree to upon joining the forums. You can find our policies located at http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/i...Disclaimers_PG

In most cases that my few posts were edited/combined, they definately did NOT meet this part of the offered explanation, "for no logicial or beneficial reason". No complaints though, I understand the reasons and have already tried to combine my own posts accordingly.

The multiple posts in a single thread usually gets started from us wanting to quote and respond to various other participants comments, which are in multiple posts, not just one. Would be neat if there was a way to quote more than one comment/post without having to do any major copying/pasting, etc.

Click on the http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...iquote_off.gif button on each post you want to quote, then when you click on 'Post Reply' all the quotes will be there for you to reply in a single post.

I'm not complaining, I was just wondering what the deal was.

I had not read that policy, because I've found that most policies boil down to "don't be a jerk".

Thanks for the explanation!

I'll have to give that a shot!! Learn something new all the time.

Amen Bilgepump, I must admit I do the same thing...

Oh and a suggestion here. If a post is removed for one reason or another.....can the mod/admin that removed it please PM the person and let them know it was removed and why? I know I postred a thread, didnt see it show up and reposted it. I found later it was removed and a guildmate did the same. They were warned one more time and they would be suspended. We werent even aware the posts were goin through.

I'm sorry, but our normal policy is to only send PMs about edits or deletions if the user is actually in trouble. If we sent PMs for every little minor edit or quick deletion...we'd really never get any work done on the forums. Trying to keep these forums to a PG rating for teens and above can be a huge task at times. We often make minor edits without taking any official actions against a user. Often, these are boarderline violations and not worth the effort to make an official issue out of them. I would strongly suggest that if something like this or if you have any questions about your posts/threads to PM a mod or admin right away. They'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.
