The Jedi Master Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I've been noticing this weird thing that appears in posts a lot that looks like this: --Updated-- At first, I thought this was someones weird way of saying 'edited', but then it started cropping up everywhere, including one of my posts. Am I the only one noticing this? Why does this happen?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicalK3rbal Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I've been wondering too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fleet Master Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 When you basicly double post it pops up, When you post in the same thread without a post between in a short amount of time it happens.- - - Updated - - -Seeeeeeeeeee??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexx32 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Wait, that's a forum feature? I assumed it was an intentionally-done thing, too. That's pretty cool. I suppose Kasper or Sal are probably behind that one. Makes less work for us mods, hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Destroyer Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Huh, that's nice.

vexx32 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Well, yeah. Anything big changes, we get a heads-up. But little stuff like this gets slipped under our noses unless it's being visibly tested somewhere, which happens on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexx32 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Apart from nifty little vBulletin features that aren't documented anywhere that makes life easier for us moderators and that I can't tell you? Eh, probably a few... Kasper and Sal would know better than I, but they pretty much never stop working, and fiddling with things. Stuff changes all the time; often too much trouble to keep careful track of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vexx32 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Heh. Stand out enough in a good way, and maybe we'll think about it next time we have to figure out who we're going to go asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooNamedGames Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Heh. Stand out enough in a good way, and maybe we'll think about it next time we have to figure out who we're going to go asking. I've got a few notable marks by mods, but I don't do it intentionally. Most of it would be "disagreement" with one group... That's the worst I can think of....But I would hope that mods, being human, have made their minor traspasses. Also, Vanamonde, my mod of choice for this kind of thing, is afk. So I'm gonna pm you something I would like looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Eh, we do have to be pretty impartial. Keep it fair, and all. I'm sure most of us have made minor mistakes here and there. I wonder if anything's on my record... I don't think so, though. Worst I got was back before Damion Rayne left; I got into an argument with some guy who made little to no sense. I eventually just gave up on reasoning with him and spoke to Sal about it, I think.I suppose we make small mistakes here and there eventually, but we usually try to fix them up before anything gets outta hand.

And besides, it's not the power I want, it's the fact I want to help that makes me interested in the position...I can delete posts. Why would I need more? I heck don't want to ban someone unless I absolutely NEED to, as in if he is thing to destroy the forums and more.... But what else can I do? Close threads? Bah. It comes part of the job.So I hope you get the feels, I want to help, not to abuse power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jedi Master Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I've considered moderating before, but they have to deal with a lot of stuff I don't want to deal with. And don't think the KSP forum is innocent, I've seen some nasty stuff from time to time. It's rare, but it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endersmens Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 From my experience it seems to only "update" if the post is made within a minute of the previous post. I am unable to edit on my computer, so this is useful, except when I miss the 1 minute mark. Maybe it could be extended?- - - Updated - - -Just wanted to do this for fun.

vexx32 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah, okay, this has obviously run its course and is just getting spammed with people testing it, so I think it's well past time to close it before we have to start handing out warnings for spam.
