Good God. I haven't seen an ego like that up close and personal in years.

Should we discard it?

I suggest that we hang on to the YKTTW so that the other mods can look at it if they want. Augustine you are being incredibly non-specific. What annoys you?

Editing other peoples comments. Stuff like that really ticks me off.

It doesn't happen very often despite how easy it is, you have to admit.

True, but I feel like no matter how much somebody disagrees with you, they should be able to speak their mind. Unless they are a legitimate Troll.

Amen. Trust me, It's bad enough when some young wag decides to undermine the very premise of the Dethroning Moment of Suck pages because they don't agree that any faults could, in fact, exist in the work.

Just thought of something: How long should we wait for the mods to have a look before we have an editor cut it?

How about 830pm on 5/5/11? That'll be 24 hours since the edit ban.

All right, then. May I do the honor?

Yaaaaaaaaaaay.

I'm curious - why are laytropers allowed to edit other people's comments in YKTTW?

^I think the intent is to allow copying of markup for example suggestions. If so, might I suggest that the possible harm outweighs the good?

And looking at the ykttw source text takes care of that already. I think that came after the editing, but it makes it obsolete.

^Can you view the markup on the comments? I haven't noticed that, if it's possible.

No, but you can bring it up on the YKTTW beta thread.
