I'd like to ask people to be truthful in their moderation requests when they make them.
Please don't just write 'typo' when you are removing whole lines or moving stuff around because all that happens is the moderator has to go back and forth between the two posts seeing what's actually been changed.
Some people write 'tweaking' which is better than 'typo' because at least the mod has some idea of what changes to expect. I would prefer 'moving paragraphs around' or if you delete a line - just write that, it's no biggie. 'Typo' however, is not correct for that moderation.
You see the thing is generally it's not important but sometimes it really might be, for example if a poster is going back through old posts deleting things that matter. We recently had an example of this when whole sections were being deleted under the guise of something less drastic. So we have to check especially if it's clear that people aren't being honest about their moderations.
If I sound officious and pompous, I'm sorry. I mean it in a 'please can you', not a 'do this' kind of way.
And if I sound like I ought to be doing something better with my life on a Friday night then it's probably true I should, but I'm not, I'm here, I'm modding and so I am bringing this up. It's been bugging me for a while, I think it's important and I don't want to put this in Policy because I want people to see it.
For neatness I suppose we could shift this thread over to Policy when it sinks. |
