Over the past couple of weeks some of the Mod's have been moving around topics - changing titles, etc.
I totally understand trying to keep things neat - but come on now - you can't change and move everything.
If I want to put up a topic that says "Dana is great" and you think it should be called something else like "Dana is Totally Great"- well tough - that is what I wanted it called. Please do not edit me or my posts - you are not my editor.
Like today I posted "Artpark Tickets on sale NOW" - and now that you decided to merge two topics together again and change the title - some people might miss out on the original intention of the post.
If I am out of line - sorry - but the uncalled for "editing" the past couple weeks has really been bugging me.

Hey,
I edited it... and I see your point. But I actually merged three topics that were on the first page. I haven't edited that much, but then I did today.
I thought that it would be best to have one topic instead of three all discussing the same show.

...and I realize that this isn't the first time that more than one thread about a show have happened. If it's any consolation, I have not changed any of the actual post about Lewiston. In the past weeks, the only topics I've moved have been threads regarding ticket purchases and exhanges, and every time I have sent a PM telling the user where their thread went.

Thanx Sean for trying to keep things neat.
These past couple weeks I come to Hipbase and all of the sudden I cannot find what I was reading earlier - then I realize that it has been renamed and stuff.
I have just been getting lost - and therefore annoyed at the editing/changes.
But I totally understand your thinking, even if I disagree with it sometimes.

I support sean on merging threads. We try and keep the titles the same after merging.

I wish more titles were merged.I have noticed alot of repeat threads lately.

Another bummer about merging is that the thread becomes unreadable, as people that posted a response that made sense in one thread, now seem nonsensical.

Perhaps then you should merge all the "Tragically Hip in ________" threads cluttering up the board into one neat & tidy thread called "The Tragically Hip in Canada in September"

If you seriously want to, it could be arranged... but then again it might confuse people even more.

Nah....it's not that your brain is mush; it's that I have a penchant for being a smartass

Which is why Jenna has something hard to throw at you in grabbing distance whenever you get out of line; the nurse in my life has lobbed plenty of books at my head whenever I threaten to become a insufferable smartass
