Subject: Could someone explain how this happened.

Oh, and hey everyone, I can mess with Pistolsnipe's posts! But I won't, because I don't want a blacklisting.
What the hell?

Can anyone explain this? It was in a post in the Flood. Apparently by some glitch he could edit my posts. Weird. Oh and he didn't actually edit my post if anyone was wondering.

Wait. Just read your edit.

Depending how far back that was, there WAS a bug where people could edit posts. It was taken care of in like a day, and there were no MAJOR problems, if I am correct.

Clicking the edit button does nothing. The issue was resolved a couple years ago.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Occasionally the wrong buttons pop up in the wrong places. If he had tried to edit the post, I bet he would have gotten an error message. That's just a guess, though... I wouldn't know for sure.

What Kilroy said.

Every once in a while, the "msg user" button will be replaced by the "edit post" button most likely due to caching screw-ups.

It won't really let you do anything, though, if you do end up running into this little caching glitch, since they fixed it to only work for mods and stuff.

It was today, like a little over/under twenty minutes ago. I don't think it was a photoshop because it was kind of out of the blue. But that is always a possibility. Its on this page.

Its not as if I was worried, I was just curious.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement

Overrating themselves

He told you something that seems hard to believe.
He doesnt follow through with it to avoid a blacklisting.
You still believe he can edit your posts.

Wait, geuss what? Through some wierd glitch I can edit pistolsnipes posts too! In fact we all can. In fact its not a glitch, its an Achronos inspired conspiracy that is somehow linked to both Watergate AND JFK.

C'mon man, try thinking a little and realize he's full of it.

How many times in third grade did a kid tell you something that was incredibly hard to believe and wouldn't prove it because he "didnt feel like it"?

Brain. Use it.

That kind of thinking is what I stray from. If I told you five years ago that scientists were going to be using a particle accelerator to make tiny black holes in 2007, would you have believed me? I bet not.

Same concept applies to this the authorities could assume that it was just a new brand of cleaner or something, but what if it ends up serious. By the way that is in my district, across the parking lot.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

I'm going to guess either a photoshop or a B.net bug.

Good thing, because thinking for yourself and outside of the box can be a very dangerous thing. Dont even get me started on the perils of common sense.

It was just a bug.

Last I checked, the official word on that was;

It's a bug. Doing it (intentionally, I suppose) will get you blacklisted.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

It probably wasn't photoshopped. Like everyone said, it's just a glitch where the edit button shows up. Clicking the button takes you to an error page saying that you don't have the priviledges to do the requested action, or something like that.

That just happened to me a few days ago, and I clicked the button because I was curious. So... yeah... no conspiracy, and no worries.

It's just a cache error or something silly like that - Don't be too alarmed. I would be more alarmed about me; I have the power to edit all your posts!

You say tomato; I say potato.

It took a bit of digging, but I managed to find the search feature.

It happened to me once as well, I was like "HAHAHAHA DIE!!!!!"

But it said "You do not have permission to do this".

(I didn't actually want him to die, I was just curious. >_>)

Yeah, it's nothing bad. I had that happen to me once. When I clicked the little edit button (because I was curious, not mischievous!), it just brought me to an error screen that said I did have the "powers" to do that.

That's right, it's just a caching error. For example, if I were to click on this link:

http://www.bungie.net/Forums/createpost.aspx?postID=10310885& amp;act=reply, that would be the link to reply to your original post in this thread.

When YOU (pistolsnipe) look at your own post, you see a button called "edit post" that takes you to this link:
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/createpost.aspx?postID=10310885& amp;act=edit.

That lets anybody with permission (you personally, the moderators, and the admins) edit your post. Normally, the rest of us do not see this button. However, you do. If we DID see this button for some reason and clicked on it, it takes us to a page with an error message. For an example of this, if you're a regular member, try clicking on this button which will attempt to edit my first post in this thread:

http://www.bungie.net/Forums/createpost.aspx?postID=10310971& amp;act=edit

See the error message? That's what the guy would have seen if he had actually tried to edit your post. So don't worry about it.

^^^^ The date is wrong ... He didn't actually edit that...

Actually I'm wondering why I have never seen this bug happen to me. I've heard of it, but is it just for certain members, and if so then why them? Is it Random?

You didn't catch the memo?
Only the special members get the glitches.
