Abuse of Power

So why not spend your time correcting all the titlea of threads in General as to reflect the contents?

It's not actually that uncommon, and certainly not reserved for idiotic religious threads.

No, I do not agree...

Thank you for confirming my first impression of you. It is appreciated I assure you.

Aw diddums? Is poor little Paddy throwing a Paddy 'cos it's so unfair?

I think the idea that your subject title was inaccurate and possibly even misleading is not a "personal view" but entirely objective.

Do you not think the new title reflects that actual event rather better than one you came up with? Or do you really think that a white supremacist/racist bastard shooting a bunch of black people at a bible study in an historic church is actually a case of Christian on Christian violence?

There's a few other names in the mix, just to add a bit of variety.

Is that borderline racist or is it like 'tossing a dwarf' but for stronger people?

Is a Paddy throwing a Paddy the same as a Spade calling a Spade a Spade?

I guess you could say mods shouldn't change title threads. But then again people shouldn't use thread titles as a troll mechanism.

For the sake of posterity, if something is deemed against the terms of use whether it's racism, decency or whatever there should be moderation of the user not the post, otherwise no one can see where the boundaries have been crossed.

There are circumstances though, where changes of titles or even content is absolutely required otherwise the site owners may find they are liable financially or criminally and even both.
