Policy Discussion: moderators editing players' posts

[mith]

My answers to these would be different depending on the game.

But, in general:

1. I might blank double posts if I caught them quickly enough.
2. Never spellcheck. I hope no one else does.
3. I only fix broken tags in newbie games (for instructional purposes), and in VM2 (as players were warned to preview beforehand).
4. I never remove personal attacks, unless they are serious enough to warrant a modkilling or ban.
5. I only fix unintentional smilies in newbie games.
6. I wouldn't remove outing of roles, unless it *wasn't* accidental (i.e. scum trying to ruin the game by outing his partners; again, something that would warrnat a modkill or ban). I would remove personal information if asked, if the information is about another player, or if the information is about a minor.
7. I never add missing formatting.
8. If someone asked me to do something, I would do exactly the same as above (I wouldn't for example, correct a typo that a player wants to fix). If it's not covered above, then it depends on what it is.

I've started using the new tags for mod edits.
