    Exclamation Do you think it is okay for Reps/Mods to change thread titles?

    Do you think that it is okay for mods/reps to change thread titles if it criticizes the Evony staff in anyway? I am not talking about vulgarity but rather talking about this thread:
    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?t=26002

    Dawnseeker changed the title from "The Devs ruined scouts" to "The Devs ruined scouts -OR- The Devs fixed scouts"

    Also in the thread dawnseeker changed multiple posts and took out parts that criticized evony's developers.
    Do you think that this is ok?
    Do you think that this is another abuse of power?

    Id like to hear opinions on this.

    I think the fact that they removed the Report a Moderator board from this forum really says a lot of about accountability that the mods have for their actions.

    They Evony staff has put in a lot of effort behind the game AND the forums.

    No one wants to be criticized in a bad manner, especially over a project that they have worked very hard over.

    There is a difference between useless criticism and constructive criticism. As far as I'm concerned, Dawnseeker changed the title from a Biased to Un-Biased title. The entire portion the original writer had is STILL there.

    Dawnseeker changed it from a one-sided attacking thread to a discussion. That's it. At least that's how I see it.

    On a different note, this is Evony's forum to which they can do whatever they please. They have provided us with a free game to play, if people wish to express criticism, they should do so in a constructive manner that gives a solution rather than only expressing problems with it.

    EDIT: Also, I think Dawnseeker merely merged topics into that one to stop the potential flood of Scout topics. Evony's intention was to FIX the scouts so there is truth in that. I see no harm in changing the title. The original writer is STILL the author of the thread AND it's stickied.

    I find it perfectly fine for a Mod to beable to change a thread title. Forum rules apply to posts, and thread titles. Nothing exempt from that. They removed the report a mod due to all the negative feed back as it was causing more grief than it was correcting. Mods are still very much accountable you just have to take it up in a PM which I'm sorry to say most Bulletin Boards (forums) do now a days due to the community... =/

    communist ftw

    Hell no I do not believe it is right for anyone to change anyone's writing or opinion. If it is against the rules, remove the post completely, if not go ahead and state "your" opinion in the designated area.

    Its because Moderator's are not aloud to post in the Report A Moderator forum and we were, so all complaints are now held privately. If you wish to report something please PM one of the Admins.

    We change titles and reports because we do not want forums to be spammed up with vulgar and inappropiate language. We do it to make all of you happy.

    Thanks.

    Where did that thread title contain inappropriate language?

    To: jj456, i was wrong, dawnseeker didnt remove anything but he did edit out many of peoples supposed "rants" or "extreme opinions"
