    Default Altering quotes

    Going forward, we are asking that members no longer alter any other members quotes, even if it is abundantly clear. Not every person realizes they were altered and not every member is fond of allowing such.

    Please, report any posts where this may occur going forward.

    Edited to add: Members CAN still shorten another members post, if necessary. Removing of a video so that it doesn't load over and over. Lots of reasons to shorten a post.

    Wait, let's go back to this "Rule Change" crap. I have to avoid vulgarity? Damn, I'm screwed.

    I think we're too far gone for that one. When the owner spews filth out of his mouth (or I'm a potty mouth as Perianne says), then it's hard to reign in that one. Guilty as charged.

    Do I want to even know what "Example #23" is? Probably something else I'm not allowed to do anymore.
