I think you two are not getting what a serious post consists of.

This ^

A "serious post" about an internet forum is not in the same category as a serious post about a death ffs. You need a better analogy, Callaway

"Serious" is subjective.  That thread can't have been "serious" to Dunc?  Or if it was serious, it doesn't matter because you have something "more serious" that happened to you?  For every person, that which happens to them will always be more serious then that which happens to others. 

Why all the fighting about the analogy?  Why is it so important to you both?  And why are you both so bent about the thread being repaired?

Have always understood guest posting and editing of the past was only allowed in the Free for All sub-forum. It that correct?

Yes.  

It was stopped though because some people here lack a sense of humour.

Then maybe not so serious; like posting serious in the Highway.

I'm not. I don't care about that. That was a joke from months ago and if you look at my replies in that thread, they were light hearted until Callaway brought this into it

And tbh, yes I do think someone dying is "more serious" than someone leaving an internet forum. You don't?

Oh My God.

Nobody ever said that and nobody ever implied that.  An analogy is not ... you know what, fuck it.  I give up.

Guest posting has been allowed off and on in the Free For All, but guest editing was allowed only once for a very short time until Soph and Bint pointed out that the problem with allowing it was that "guests" could edit posts that they didn't make themselves, including posts of former members who had their accounts deleted.

Do you think you would feel the same if someone edited a post you made bout I2 as you would if they edited a post you made about your daughter's problems?

I see. So, he didn't know it could be edited at the time of posting. That makes it different.

You are correct.  At the time Dunc posted it, only he or another administrator could edit his post, and guest editing of posts had never been permitted in the Free For All.

We weren't trolling.

Besides, no one asked you to get involved in the first place.  You're not a moderator here.

The only three people who actually have reasons to be involved in this are duncvis, whoever edited his post, and odeon (who restored it). This issue has already become the focus of a pointless argument between people who have no reason to be involved.
