Titles!

Goldenboko · 06-28-2007, 10:50 PM

I think we should be able to change the titles of our threads without being mods or whatever. It's really ridiculous that you can't change something with a spelling error or if the thread has been updated (Example: I had to PM a mod just to fix the title on EoFF Idol).

It could easily get very confusing if the members were free to change their thread titles whenever they wanted. I can't speak for the other mods, but I'm sure most of us won't mind fixing your thread titles, it takes minimal effort. My PM inbox is always open, sugarbuns.

It seems like the whole thing is based on the "few bad people spoil the entire thing". One or two people might abuse it so noone gets it.

The main problems with just PMing mods is...
A. Trivial things- I wanted to Change the title on one of my threads to "[s]Shades of Life ~Chapter 1 is up~" but that seems way to trivial to bother someone about.

-And-

B. Shy members- I know someone here who doesn't like to pm anyone he doesn't know at the site, because he says "I don't know them I don't feel comfortable doing it."

Can you edit the thread title within a given time frame from when you first make the thread by clicking on the edit "button" of your first post? Or does that only let you edit the post title?

That only lets you edit the Post title.

FM makes a good point. I know at another message board I frequent, IIDB, you can only edit your posts for a certain amount of time before you can't anymore. Could the same thing be done for editing thread titles (say, for only 5 minutes after the thread is posted)?

That's a good idea, as it helps with typos. I fully approve!

Not to say that the "Christ Benoit" thread wasn't amusing.
