[quote=lalalalalalala]But jieduck's suggestion might be good however, whether you like it or not, each of them could still get offended. What if a lot of people flooded the said user reminding "hey your topic title is not good, etc. etc." How would you react to that? Isn't that annoying?[/quote] you have a valid point there. but as what Mod Anne mentioned, it should be done in a nicer and un-offending manner. and you are right, not "every" member will correct the TS, in which I have also mentioned that only "responsible" and "english-know-how" members would care about the topic title. in that case, the TS will not be flooded with PM's. and it will be up to her/him to make the necessary action if she/he receives annoying PMs.

[quote=lalalalalalala]As far as I know, I don't think every member will correct the thread starters every now and then, I mean, it's not their job.[/quote] I agree hunny. That's why I'm suggesting that mods change the wrong grammar titles of the threads to the right grammar. :D [quote=dondon]the ts is requesting if mods can change the title: jesrhel wrote: So, umm can mods change the titles... is that possible or they don't have access? as i said before, mods does not have the right to change the TITLE. If mods edit the title, it will also affect the content of the post of the TS, even they are not editing the body of of the post. it will be like this: Last edited by moderator (Today 12:00:00)[/quote] I mean change the wrong grammar to the right one. How can that affect the content of the post?! [quote=dondon]Im not saying im not trusting a moderator for editing the post, but just to be fair. Mods can abused it, they will just edit the post they hate or they dont like.[/quote] I don't think mods will do that unless of course they want to be axed by mr.admin. :rolleyes:

I'm already seeing a lot of consequences here - it's either the TS will get really annoyed and irritated or just keep it to themselves and delete the PMs. Who knows? Every user have their own sensitivity even to the nicest way of the PMs flooding to them coz they could still get embarrassed. They're not here to get embarassed, anyway. We can also never tell that only all members who are good in English will attempt to PM the TS. Up to this point, I believe that it's very touchy considering the thought "Who is this guy to correct me? Is this guy thinking he is that good?! No way!" I'm afraid there might be a possibility that the TS will also take it personally - well it still depends. [quote=jesrhel]I agree hunny. That's why I'm suggesting that mods change the wrong grammar titles of the threads to the right grammar. :D[/quote] Yeah, I would like that suggestion to be considered by the Moderators, too. Fair enough. Why can't you guys stick with the TS's request? Geez. [quote=As cicatrizes]i think mods are responsible enough not to play around by editing what they dont like (unless of course if its offensive, on the other hand, if its offensive,.,then im sure,they'll lock it immediately)[/quote] [quote=jesrhel]I mean change the wrong grammar to the right one. How can that affect the content of the post?![/quote] jesrhel, what dondon said is about the thingy "Last edited by moderator (Today 12:00:00)". It appears whether the moderator edits the content. I believe I've seen some moderators that can edit the titles. And I agree with As cicatrizes. The moderators won't get their position if they attempt to make fun with the TS's post.

Geez.[/quote] we are supporting her suggestion... but the problem is titles cannot be edited by MODs. I dunno here in FTalk, but in the forum that I am moderating, title editing feature is not allowed. and BTW, i hope that you have read my initial post on this matter, I just suggested that if this suggestion will not push through...

^If the Mods are not allowed to edit the Title then better if they should be the ones to PM the TS since they have the higher ranks. I don't think the TS will listen to another member that quickly. :/ BTW, that line was supposed to be a sarcastic joke. Sorry. :)

The title is connected to the content. they can also change the content if they want. anyway, its not a problem, I agree to bel that many mods here are very responsible :) [b]Happy new year to all of you :D[/b]

Since the answer is getting clearer, and if that's the case, maybe the Mods should remind the TS whenever they change any part of the TS's post. or this one: [quote=lalalalalalala]^If the Mods are not allowed to edit the Title then better if they should be the ones to PM the TS since they have the higher ranks. I don't think the TS will listen to another member that quickly. :/[/quote]

[quote=jieduck]but the problem is titles cannot be edited by MODs[/quote] Friend the mods here can edit the TS topic just like the post itself since it is merely the subject line =) I have suggested it before on certain topics and it was changed.

we should have a grammar checker (like the F7 thinggy) *suggestion hehe* it's very difficult to understand threads with grammatical errors =)

Not all Mods are doing it however.

[quote=dondon]The title is connected to the content.[/quote] they are indeed connected to each other. it's like editing your post.=) [quote=jesrhel]But they might not approve my request since it is an added responsibility for them. lol.[/quote] Moderators can't decide, admin decides =). Well it is just my opinion, it's better once again, to PM the TS and ask him to change the title by himself. I'm not sure moderators could check grammar errors in every title of thread. So it is better for members to cooperate in this too.

i've done sharing my opinion. if i'll ever encounter a topic title that's so vague, undescriptive, and deemed to be corrected (as per my judgment) , i shall do all my best (in my own way) to "modify" the topic title in a peaceful and "intimate" coordination with the author of that topic. God bless us all.

Just dont forget that not all members are good in English. For me as long as i understand it, its fine. Anyways mods always edited post and titles whenever they can And i notice that all the time. Everybody makes mistakes . If they see that they made error they edit it anyways. If you dont understand what they are trying to say then let them clarify it again or make them edit it. If they wont then dont help them out lol Who wants to be embarrassed anyways :D

We mods can change the title of a topic/thread [u]if it is needed[/u]. Like others said. Try to PM the TS of the topic, give him/her a [b]friendly[/b] note about his/her topic. If you don't get any replies or appropriate actions from the TS, then use the report button. We mods will take appropriate actions regarding to the report [u]if needed[/u]. And please use the report button wisely. We have the rule about common sense. Thx for the topic.
