Re: How obnoxious are moderators who modify posts just because they can?

I've had many posts deleted.
Posts are deleted when they break forum rules. Stop breaking the rules and you're fine.

Once I reposted a deleted post and the moderator changed the text.
This comment is worthless without a link to the post.

Now with this username there have been no outright deletions, but a moderator combines any two posts into one then sends the message
Stop multiposting.

Mods are not supposed to edit the content of a post, even if it's a sticky. Mod edits should be limited to non-content things like fixing broken bbcode, merging posts, etc., so that nobody ever has reason to complain that a mod "put words in their mouth". Even if a post is violating the rules, and editing out a word/sentence/paragraph would make it no longer in violation of the rules, this kind of content-edit should not be done; the post should just be deleted.
