Re: Alarmed
What is your issue? I have looked at a couple and in the main it has been nothing more than tidying up ... Makng titles more meaningful, removal of duplicates. Mostly to make the board more readable for others

Re: Alarmed
But would that be classed as "back-seat moderation" and thus fall foul of the t&cs??Silver_Shiney wrote:We could always fox'em by posting in red.....![]()

As Ken says most of the moderating has been tidying the forum up to make it more logical and keep it running smoothly. Thankfully there has been little else which has needed more direct action and long may it continue. Nothing to be alarmed about, just moderators doing what they should be doing.
I was taught to be cautious

As the saying goes, you can please some of the people some of the time, but you cannot please all the people all of the time.
Personally cannot see a problem.

I would be alarmed if it were edited and we weren't told.

Re: Alarmed .... about content being edited
The majority of the moderation so far has, as others have said, been to "tidy" things up and is only to be expected as people find their way around a new forum. You have to remember that this forum is only just over two weeks old and we are all still "finding our feet".
Another factor is that, for several reasons that I will not go into here, most of us got into bad habits on the P&O forum and it will take time to (re)adapt.
