INFORMATION :
Today, some of you may have noticed a bug in the forums allowing you to edit a random member's post but not your own. It happened to me in this thread: proof.

This may have some of you confused, which is why I am going to explain everything. At least, offer a possible reason why this happened.

THIRD LAST HAS BEEN MADE A "SECRET MODERATOR":
It is clear that I have been granted limited powers to edit at least Kritz's posts. Maybe Achronos has been watching my activity and decided that I am suitable to edit the posts of some 'problem members', one of whom must be this Kritz person. Of course, I am still just a "member" with the same text and boring title bar so maybe this is a secret. I certainly hadn't been told about it. This is probably why so many people are confused right now.

WHY KRITZ?

Ok, this one is a little more tricky, but I will do my best to explain what's going on. In the thread i linked to, Kritz's post was clearly not in line with the serious nature of the thread. The trust system has recognised this and given me the ability to edit this post to rectify the incident of "humour" and "good-naturedness" and "an actual enjoyable environment" which are all unwelcome on bungie.net.

WHY ME?

The most logical answer I could think of is that in the same thread, I had acted respectfully to the ~Mythic Members~ who had come up with several important rules. Furthermore my cooperation with these new rules marked me out as prime "secret moderator" material.

AN IDEA... LESS SECRECY:
While this is clearly a welcome addition to the Bungie.net web forum site, it might have been more effective if i had been informed of the change before dropping me in the deep end. I didn't even try to edit the post in question because I didn't know what the proper guidelines are for action in such a situation.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

AN IDEA... ANOTHER SECRET MODERATOR:

Ok, this one is a little tricky, but I will do my best to explain what's going on. I think that this guy is a secret mod like you, and just gave you a clue. Keep dreaming- basically, keep thinking of new ideas because you're so close!

I believe in you!


FINALE:

You're a great member, and I bet you're going to do great things! Keep working, the Bungie team definitely trusts you.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Oh dear, I just realized I failed to decode the multiple layers of irony before I posted due to not fully reading the other threads, so now I look stupid, or perhaps extremely clever, depending on how far down you are willing to go in your assumptions. I'm leaving the original "serious" post up, with some edits, in case someone wants the "real" answer and because I can't think of anything clever to say. Sorry to change it without notice multiple times!, but Pink Menace backed up my post so it's all good.

That is a bug that is caused by you viewing a thread right after a moderator has and some other unknown/random factors. Don't abuse it, or bad things will happen to you.

I don't understand what's going on here, but I can tell you that is a bug that is caused by you viewing a thread right after a moderator has and some other unknown factors, which I thought Achronos had fixed. Don't abuse it, or bad things will happen to you.

This man speaks with a forked tongue.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

I always knew Kritz was up to no good.

I think he is joking guys.
