Might you have used your editing privileges inappropriately lately?

(Fix'd, mod forgot to color their additions in red)

If I've done something wrong can someone explain what the hell it was?

Apparently.


Did you have a point related to my unexplained loss of the ability to edit posts?

No, but I had a point related to your explained loss of the ability to edit posts.

Editing posts to continue locked discussions


I may as well have been using the reply button, since the edit itself was not in a locked thread. And what, am I just _not_ supposed to respond when someone insults me and then locks the thread? If this is IN FACT what it was, a ban from S/FI would have been a much more sensible response. But anyway the matter was already resolved yesterday, so why was my edit button taken away today?

Anyway, why was I not told that this was in effect (I had to find out from you after posting about what I thought was a technical glitch)? And why did I not get any warning? How long will this last?

Nothing had been explained at the time you said that, and even NOW all I have is a list of guesses at what it MIGHT be.

Whoever it is clearly has no respect for the rules, since now they're locking threads in the "free" forum - so there's really no reason for you to assume that I actually did anything to earn this punishment.

The person who took away your editing capabilities, and the person who is locking your threads in FaiD is not the same person.
