Like I said, the rest of us only have six days, whereas you can edit your posts whenever you feel like it - you even did it in my thread about Italy where you deleted some of your personal pictures. I don't have a problem with that, I just don't understand how a new member like you can have mod/admin powers.


Regarding the red, bolded part: yes, that's how it works on VNN. If a mod or admin edits a member's post, then the notice will state that. Here's an example:

It says "Last edited by Alex Linder", even though the thread was started by Frenkel, yet this "Yellow Gorilla" thread was clearly edited by Paul Anthony - long after the six day editing period had expired. This is weird...


The thlot pickens...

And then the reason why they got such privileges is also something that needs to be uncovered and addressed.

- Paul says he never edited the post - I believe him.

- You say posts edited by admin or someone other than the author will state who the actually editor was - I believe you and you showed what seems to be proof (however not 100% proof as whomever edited this post may have been able to change the editor's name. This is usually done in the database so access to the database is a breach unless the editor has rightful access to the database on the hosting account).

Two more examples:

https://vnnforum.com/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=161

This is very weird.
