Even better question...

Why would Mod edits, which use the same exact formatting (which means, most likely, that the text is coming from the same location in a script), be any different than regular members?

So far, the only differences confirmed between mod edits and regular member edits are:

1. Mods can edit any post within their moderation domain while regular members can only edit their own posts.
2. Mods do not have a time limit for editing posts while regular members have 15 minutes.

If you'll note, those 2 rules have nothing to do with when the "post edit" text appear and when they do not appear.

You'll note how Bada specifically stated "Raz made it so MOD EDITS bear the name of the mod".

Here's the problem with yours and Badabing's understanding: Raz made it to where ANY edits to ANY post will bear the editors name. This doesn't just apply to mods as you are erroneously interpreting from Badabing's words.

Obviously if regular posters wish to edit their post, there will be no dispute of who did it, so (if you're fast enough), a REGULAR POSTER can edit their post without an edit tag. As Bada stated, the same simply can't apply to mods because it would allow abuses of power.

That's nice and all.

Where's your proof?

Stop trying to defend Quan (or draw attention away from him) once again.

This is not defending Quan. This is me fleshing out a problem I have had with KMC for many years: the edit tags not showing up when you edit posts fast enough.

I edited DDM's post above, and my actions were tagged.

But you edited my post many minutes after I posted it.

Edit a post I make during the same KMC minute it was posted: I strongly suspect your mod text will not appear. 🙂

Let me know when you want to test this. It would require both of us to be on at the same time and to act quickly.

I don't expect your birdbrain to comprehend sensible logic 😬

I used it to post the definition of a specific term, you were asked for wandless feats and instead just posted random paragraphs from wiki that didn't even mention wandless magic.

I find it very amusing that you can't tell the difference.

I also found that bothersome.

Incorrect.

I edited my post in less than a KMC minute after it was posted: the edit tags did not show up on my post.

Impediment repeated my results on one of his own posts.

That confirms only one side of the case, however: the poster side.

Now we need it to be tested from a mod to another member to confirm the other half.

The foundation of the proof is there, though. 🙂 We need the keystone to finish this.

Imp tried it, the moderator edit works exactly the same as the regular poster edit.

Even if we learn that mods can edit without leaving a tag if they're fast enough, that knowledge wouldn't prove that quan's was edited. Just because something is possible doesn't mean it happened.

There is zero proof that his post was edited.

Why do we think the mod edit is more likely than someone knowing quan's password?

Perhaps a mod should run a sock check on quan, that's obviously by no means fool proof, but maybe someone else would come up.

what we had not established was why quan expressed no surprise when SM quoted his watersports post, nor why he didn't mention anything in the several posts mere minutes after since it instantly became The Topic. he obviously sobered up later on and regretted his post.

it could be that he attempted the humor of one who is secure in their sexual identity, and thus came off as a total men's room foot-shuffler. however this seemed like less of a joke and more of a ham-handed pickup invite to a golden shower swordfight.

Wait...

Did he try it on another member within the same KMC minute?

Are you saying that the he confirmed my hypothesis?

And fyi, a wiki warrior is generally someone who makes arguments through the posting of Wikipedia quotes.

In my case, the Wikipedia quote only supplemented my argument.

Well, then that settles it: Quanchi can claim his post was edited and we have no way to contradict that.

That isn't the way things work, if quan wants to claim it was edited, he has to provide proof.

That isn't the way things work. If you want to prove Quan made that uncharacteristic post, you need to provide proof.

Until then, it's just you beating your chest when you know that Quan was mod-trolled.

Also, stop spamming the quote: it makes you looks desperate to have anything on Quan.

The proof that he made the post is the post itself, if he wants to claim it was edited by some mysterious person, he has to prove it.

Well, yeah, but we'll also have to look at the likelihood of that to form an opinion.

In unrelated news, I would actually like Rob to urinate on my penis.

I have.

It is completely uncharacteristic of Quan to post something like that. He has never posted something like that. Even when we are joking off the boards, he doesn't say stuff like that.

It is much closer to something 2 other members on this forum would say. lol

what was quan's original post then? before it was possibly edited? you would think that he would be quick to explain that
