Reading these rules and what they are meant to prohibit, I do believe you forgot the first rule which means you’ll need to adjust the order.
13. When a mod fucks with your post, they will put their name on it, so then they can be held accountable for what they did, and have to explain WHY they changed what you said. @Orion Bailey @MarAzul I feel your pain, and I now understand....
I want to be clear though, no green font. I understand how iMpossibly tough it is to please everyone here and i think the mods do as good as anyone here could and should expect and then some. With that said, for me, its not holding the mod accountable, its holding the poster with the edited post accountable. To me, removing posts, or editing them, enables people to toss more bs around and not be held accountable. I understand there is no answer that will please all though, so my advice Doug, is to take the high road or try to explain what was edited in another way. Yeah it can be frustrating i know, but if you know you were right, its not worth the stress bro.
We need to add something like Hobbes' Laws or Hobbes' Bill of Rights. #1 Hobbes is always right #2 refer to #1 and so on Ok. I hope no one took that seriously now that I got it out of my system while laughing my ass off. I think of my posts and most posts here as funny stuff to laugh at. In other words, don't take it so seriously.
I use a VPN all the time. There are a few VPN IP addresses that the forum software blocks. Those come from countries/areas that have a high incidence of spamming ads and other BS links in the forum. Check your VPN settings and see if you can change the IP address that it's using.
Actually figured it out. There is a down arrow with default fastest. Below are countries. US didn't work but Canada does. O Canada!
