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.

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?

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.

No, I do not agree...

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

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.

So you agree the new title is more accurate?

No, I do not agree and your childish comments should be addressed to yourself.

Because most of the threads would have the words 'another tulip thread' in the title.

Is the lottery where they just drop Suity's name into hat and then see who they pull back out?

Cancel your membership fee and ask for your money back?

Anyway, the mods have a daily lottery to decide which thread title today. Is it 11am they have the random user banning lottery?

Abuse of Power

Moderators, (NAT no doubt) changing the title of a thread to reflect their personal view.

Is this the one where NAT changed the title of your thread "Can anyone recommend some Swiss Chocolate?" to "Can anyone recommend interracial dogging sites so I can get some Swiss Chocolate?"

I didn't realise we had religious thought police on here, I just thought they were typical deluded fools.
Ah well, live and let live.
