Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
#31
RE: Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
PTM, I think it's fine to ask for what you want but you should remember the staff are volunteers. Asking a member of staff to do you the favor of helping you fix what the set up doesn't allow is fine. Expecting it is bad form because they're volunteers with lives of their own on line and off. I was ribbing you with the bad upbringing remark but in general I do think favors are not something one is entitled to. Not that anyone asked but that is my two cents worth.

Pool, please stop misrepresenting Staff responses to you in this thread. I get that you're feeling hard done by, but quit lashing out, ok?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Lol! I wish I was a hot chick then everybody would've been figuring out 100 different ways to help me haha. I know I'm not entitled to favors so sorry for asking.
Also I didn't misrepresent anything.

Thanks. I get that so I'll just drop it, not worth it! Smile

*I can't edit my OP after 120 mins
*I make a request
*Request denied
*Reason is because
1) rules doesn't allow it
2) if you do it for me you'll have to do it for - everybody -
*I make the case rules are supposed to make things easier for posters not harder and reddit works fine without this time limit
*I get told to then go post on reddit Losty(a admin)
*Steel says it's not even a big deal because he can count on one hand the amount of this problem people have had in the past
*I make the case if it's such a rare occurrence it wouldn't hurt to take requests from users
*CD replies "No, we will not"

Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote:deal with it
So yeah. I just want to put that out there.
Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote:you bitching about it isn't going to change it.
(bold mine)
Great! I think that clears everything up. Sorry for bothering ya'll

I just want to leave this at the bottom of the thread so if someone else click on this to see what this thread is about they'll see this. Basically, I asked a favor from admins and they didn't do it for me because I'm not friends with them. What happened now is I've accepted I can't demand favors and decided to move along.

I'm asking you as a fellow member please stop this.

I misrepresented what exactly? Did I misquote someone? Did I do something else? All you did was quote a bunch of my posts mate.

Same old pool.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

RE: Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
If you were their friend, they still wouldn't edit your posts. They have rules for themselves too. Also, it's no wonder they're not your friend. You're a twat about rules. You're not raising legitimate concerns. You're being a bitch because someone banned you a hundred years ago for lying about staff decisions. Also, Reddit is disrupted by edited posts literally every time I'm there, so stfu.

God I love you Shell.

Do you have any old posts you want me to edit?

RE: Regarding the post edit time limit of absolute Doom
I don't think I deserved to be insulted this much by admins for a small suggestion. If I insult back I'm the bad person but it's fine if you guys do it?
