I would seriously like to report a mod abusing his admin rights, but firstly see if you agree with me.

Firstly, editing a post without leaving his name as a simple common curtisy plus why the post was edited, nor PM-ing me to tell me what the issue is, he's having with a post.

Then in the same thread a fellow mod ALSO do the same, but MY post gets wiped anonymously. I know who the mod is because he was the only user with an admin-noddy-badge on that thread at the time.

It makes me sick that certain mods abuse their rights left and right unquestioned. This is also not the first time it happened to me.

Am I being petty or what ? I just feel that we users spend time writing our opinion in a debate and as such, NO mod should have the right to, on a whim, edit anyones post and literally leave it with a few BLA BLA BLA's added as an after-thought and dissapear without explaining.

On a minor low hit-count site its insignificant, but this is PC Formats official site. Mods on a high profile site such as this seriously needs to be screened before being given a wand to toy with on a whim.

All this somehow makes me guess that the change to do other thread maybe had justifaction. ]

Edited by S to include original post quoted above.

I know, and some bloody idiot (can't remember his name (must have been a mod)) told that forums are'nt democracies!

Pieces of *%$#!!!

As for the pieces of $#&@ you refer to, thats probably neon!
