Making it impossible to alter one's posts after a short limited time period.
Otherwise I feel discussion and debate will be seriously compromised by cheats and liars.
ES used to automatically mark a post as UPDATED when altered after a measure of time had passed since originally submitted. Please consider turning that function on again to circumvent abuse if not completely disallowing editing after say an hour after a post's timestamp.
I mean what's the use if somebody can go back and act like they knew from the start about something they had no idea of? Especially when they asked a question they didn't have the correct factual answer to?
If I am way off balance please tell me so.
I appreciate feedback on this from any and all forum members. Maybe I am missing that which everybody else already gets or maybe I need an attitude adjustment.
In my opinion for the sake of all the people reading Egyptsearch threads, in my opinion the top priority is that in those threads the most accurate information possible presented instead of spreading intentional or unintentional disinformation that others might be mislead by and post elsewhere
instead of giving priority to people who think threads should be competitive debate transcripts between people who don't even present their real names as if this is a court record or some sort of competitive game where some poster's made up name and perception of a reputation is more important than the quality of information

That's worse than cheating. It's the epitome of lying. At the very least it's plagiarism.
Who else does this other than you? Who else goes and blanks out their whole post a day or two later to hide what was in it other than you? [/QB]
As we can see Tukuler thinks he is a professor giving people exams
You will also notice his posts are often very cryptic and coded. People often don't know what he's talking about. That's purposeful. It's an elitist snobby attitude with intent only people "In the know" or part of the cool kids club can catch the lingo, winks and obscure spellings for terms, demands for linguistic prerequisites, etc
My style is to have the maximum number of readers understand the information I'm trying to present and clarify less commonly used references because I am trying to reach people of any level trying to learn from Egyptsearch without having to pass some test I think they should be able to pass and not "cheat" on and it's absurd for someone who doesn't even use their real name to accuse someone else of plagiarism. You are not that serious if you can't use your real name to back what you say. I know this and accept it and can't claim it
In my opinion Egyptserach posts should have the most accurate information possible if somebody is trying to present something as a fact because many other people read these threads and they can be mislead and spread disinformation if an error is not corrected
So it's useful that at any time , say a month later you could go back into an old post from 5 years ago and replace dead photo links, correct information one had since discovered is incorrect or has been updated by new findings or improve one's own prose. In other words, having the ability to improve something. Others are more interested in competition, keeping score, personas, pettiness and attempts of pubic humiliation

Dont look now but Somebody wears Freudian slips.
First name: the Last name: lioness
Nah, nothing anonymous about that.
Strikes testimony from the record Seals and expunges posts
Hmm, don't courts do that?
That member is bitching about her own MO!
Self-damning, no?

Now who is it whom copyrights his posts with his initials and ethnonym, displays his face, and is too outspoken and contradicting to be a part of anything like a clique?
But of course the astute know that already.

Big fail trying to devolve post integrity to an ad hominen. I continue to push for posts to be permanent after a measure of time else enable the forum's automatic EDIT notice. It worked like this

why this sort of policy complaint is not communicated in pms makes evident the untrustworthy back stabbing sadism and lack of protocol

While I petition return of a site function useful to help prevent fudgery
this other one continues to bash her fellow very helpful ES member contributing factual corrective info to her thread
quote:Originally posted by the lioness,: why this sort of policy complaint is not communicated in pms makes evident the untrustworthy back stabbing sadism and lack of protocol
Sadism? How theatric! Are we in an ancient Greece court?
It's plain to sees who's brandishing a knife and lacks principles.
Without the mod power to do it herself, she goes so far as to try and recruit accomplices into altering a post's original content while not bothering to credit her precision's source.
quote:Originally posted by the lioness,: @Djehuti
please switch pictures in your post quoting my pic from the OP I have updated the caption leaving out "war". That was a Flicker title but I'm not sure the source. It seems to be inaccurate, that these are not life enemies but afterlife mythological foes
.
ADMIN's promise to handle things doesn't satisfy her hate. She adds yet another ad hominem post to this thread, never once addressesing the merits of re-enabling the EDIT NOTICE as to what harm it could possibly do.?
quote:Originally posted by the lioness,: thanks, from the above, this seems to cover it:
^^ this is part, early in the the thread where I am thanking this competitive back stabbing man-child for his info, yet false accusations plagiarism and lying Show us something you wrote that was plagiarized He thinks if he quotes another writer he wrote it. And who? Someone who doesn't even use their real name with an imaginary fan base!

One hateful little name calling ...itch aren't you now
Still no reason why the EDIT stamp funnction should not be re-enabled though
Tell ya what, rage on mouth foaming madman. I'll calmly wait for ADMIN's outcome.
Tata, love you, hugs and kisses! (probably to be reciprocated with more boa constrictions and viper hisses)
Why accept C on an exam when after learning the right answers to questions I got wrong I can resubmit the test
this is his motivation, he thinks people need to pass his exams and have it on public display to stroke his ego
My motive is that if I says something I want it to be correct so if I make an error I go back an correct it so readers who don't care about anonymous forum personalities and are looking for accurate information are not confused about what is accurate and what is not accurate And if you look at the actual thread this stems out of, I talk about the corrections in the thread, it's not like some secret

I agree that showing whether or not a post was updated(with a time stamp on when it was last updated). Should be a thing.

somebody could add that themselves "edited + date" but it may not be able to be done automatically on post changed, say days later (I think that would have to be tied to a time limit)
That was how it was a few years ago. It means you can't do something like on an informative thread that was made over 20 minutes before, could be yesterday or 5 years ago, you would not be able to fix dead photo links, mistakes or updated info. So the quality of the thread goes down especially if this stuff was in the OP or page 1 I sees lot of good old threads like this, got a lot of picture links no longer working. Sometime I go back an put the pictures back

Nothing draconian at all. With EDIT stamp enabled rescinded images can be restored. One can also reword for clarity, reformat, fix typos, etc., and the date it was done can be seen by all. But, no, it can't tell you if a whole post was deleted then replaced by something entirely different. The important thing is the poster cannot hide the fact they edited their post nor choose to neglect informing the readership they in fact altered their original post some time after it was made.
Many forums have and use an EDIT function for obvious reasons. Yes it is regretful the actions of one member necessitates activating the function but only one member is constantly altering posts without notice even so far as blanking out entire posts on a regular basis.
