anyways......I digress.......to play the other side.......I dont think vendors should have the ability to change the words in a post.......it should be an all or nothing approach......either the post is deleted all together, or it is left alone...........JMO

i agree totally its their forum so they should have editing power but i also believe all or nothing, not rewording

Ok, bad joke for this thread...

too soon brad, too soon!

I think I have caught up with what's transpired here and in that thread in question.. I would agree that Vendors should have the ability to perform "house keeping" that's limited to deletion of posts but ya, changing the words of someone's post, that's wrong in my opinion. Not that my opinion counts for anything other than another post count.

I could reset him to 2...

I agree that as a sponsor on this site there has to be a bit of leeway in what is allowed, I had actually given a reference answer to a fellow Canreef sponsor, not a non member sponsor site{ I want to clarify this}So this other member has also paid to be a member as well. I was unaware of the boundaries of the supplier for this product but I want everyone to understand. I would gladly have changed/edited my post or would have accepted it being deleted with a reasonable explanation of why, but here is the meat of the dispute here...My answer was not deleted or wiped out, it was changed to a different answer completely making it look like my answer...which it wasn't. So I don't want to ruffle feathers here, I just want to know all the rules and boundaries so this doesn't happen again. I don't believe anyone on any forum or group has the right to change another persons answer. Delete it..sure in some cases absolutely, edit it if there is offensive language - you bet. Not change it though.

come on people let's focus!! Don't make me throw down the derail pic.

I like that the vendor apologized by the way.

We absolutely agree with you and are taking measures to ensure that this doesn't happen again.

Hello,

Here's what happened in summary. dsaundry made a post. Michael from Aqua Digital edited the post by changing the words referring to a different vendor. dsaundry posted in the thread asking why, reported the post to Canreef, and Michael replied in e-mail (I was CC and just saw the message) explaining why.

Essentially Christy has explained it. Sponsors do sponsor Canreef by paying to have their own forum. You can think of it like the mall analogy I always make.
Canreef = Shopping mall
Sponsor forums on Canreef = Stores in shopping mall
Moderation done by sponsors = Security hired by stores in shopping mall
Non sponsor forums on Canreef = General areas in shopping mall
Overall operation on Canreef = Management company running the shopping mall

In this case, I don't think dsaundry has said anything out of line in his post. What could have done better is Michael deleting dsaundry's post and messaging dsaundry the reason why.

The moderation permission granted to sponsors was never meant for them to put words in other members' mouth. As discussed this is the first time this have happened. I'll message Michael about this and explained the alternatives.
