Over the past couple of weeks some of the Mod's have been moving around topics - changing titles, etc.
I totally understand trying to keep things neat - but come on now - you can't change and move everything.
If I want to put up a topic that says "Dana is great" and you think it should be called something else like "Dana is Totally Great"- well tough - that is what I wanted it called. Please do not edit me or my posts - you are not my editor.
Like today I posted "Artpark Tickets on sale NOW" - and now that you decided to merge two topics together again and change the title - some people might miss out on the original intention of the post.
If I am out of line - sorry - but the uncalled for "editing" the past couple weeks has really been bugging me.

Hey,
I edited it... and I see your point. But I actually merged three topics that were on the first page. I haven't edited that much, but then I did today.
I thought that it would be best to have one topic instead of three all discussing the same show.
...and I realize that this isn't the first time that more than one thread about a show have happened. If it's any consolation, I have not changed any of the actual post about Lewiston. In the past weeks, the only topics I've moved have been threads regarding ticket purchases and exhanges, and every time I have sent a PM telling the user where their thread went.

Thanx Sean for trying to keep things neat.
These past couple weeks I come to Hipbase and all of the sudden I cannot find what I was reading earlier - then I realize that it has been renamed and stuff.
I have just been getting lost - and therefore annoyed at the editing/changes.
But I totally understand your thinking, even if I disagree with it sometimes. :thumb:

I support sean on merging threads. We try and keep the titles the same after merging.
I need 2 Kingston Tickets, please help.

Another bummer about merging is that the thread becomes unreadable, as people that posted a response that made sense in one thread, now seem nonsensical.

Perhaps then you should merge all the "Tragically Hip in ________" threads cluttering up the board into one neat & tidy thread called "The Tragically Hip in Canada in September"
If you seriously want to, it could be arranged... but then again it might confuse people even more.
