Editing Posts Within the Chambers of the Ziu

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

I am totally against it and move that we ban it, with the exception of Mick who needs to edit the Clark posts.

The Ziu forum is sort of our "congressional record" and I think it is sort of (or should be) highly illegal to tamper with that.

Dréu, MC

[Flip Molinar]

I second

S:reu Molinar MC [CCCP]

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

OK, NOW what are you talking about?

You are against going back, and cleaning up a Act? Against correcting a spelling or grammar error?

What if they decide to change their vote?

I can't edit the MC's list?

Ya really gotta clarify.

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

I said there would be an exception for you Mick. You would be given moderator status or whatever so you could edit.

Cleaning up and Act would be done in the hopper, a place where I have no problem with editing.

To change their vote they would simply post again saying, hey Mick, change my vote.

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

ok, what about spelling errors? Grammar corrections?

I'm not sure why you are against MC's and Senators editing or correcting their posts?

Can you provide an example? A reason other than it's like the Congressional Record?


The devil is in the details, man!

No, a simple "edit grammar" at the bottom is acceptable. Dreu... stop... just stop..

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

I sure can provide an example.

What if right now, (if we were in the Ziu) and I said to V, "Hey V, why don't you go fuck yourself." And left it there for a little bit before deciding, "Nah... I don't want to say that." Well, that's not exactly fair. All those people who saw it knew it was there, but everyone else didn't, including V, so there's no way to actually prove it was there. You should be responsible for what you say. Especially in the chambers of the Ziu. Imagine this was a live meeting like in a real Parliament House. You wouldn't get to take back your words then, so why should you now?

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

I meant a current example, not a hypothetical.

But one, I would never drop the F-bomb on these boards.

2, what if otherwise, the MC made a brilliant post, but one word was unacceptable? Should the whole thread be deleted because of one word? Should the unacceptable word remain, no matter how offensive it is?

We have the luxury of correcting ourselves if we are out of line, if we misspoke, or otherwise offended when not intended.

I have no problem with Members of the Ziu editing their posts.


Like for spelling, especially.

Well if it was the British parliament I could hit you with a shoe and get away with it... I'll support the non editing rule if we allow British Parliament style debating..

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

I have no problem with editing for spelling or grammar. However, we can't be sure that people are only editing for spelling or grammar...

And I agree with V, British Parliament style debating sounds good to me

*goes and grabs a shoe* come here Dreu... I have something I need to tell you...

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

Stay back, I've got a bedpost!

*runs forward but is stopped by a wall of Zouaves, some of whom detain him and some of whom detain V. Then, suddenly, Jerry Springer arrives and we both become toothless and appear to be southern. A bell rings and the Zouaves let us fight again.*

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

I actually agree with this, but I think that it should not be banned but we should pass a motion indicating we frown upon it strongly. The Secretary of State would obviously get a pass, as would those working on legislation; those are good points. If grammar or spelling is edited, that should be allowed and an appropriate note attached to the bottom. This should absolutely not be a law, though: just a point of guidance and suggestions for form.

Are you implying that Southerners are toothless and are featured regularly on Jerry springer??

edit: left out half the sentence...

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

No, I'm implying that Toothless Southerners are featured regularly on Jerry Springer.

I agree with everything here.
