Attn: Ted - (semi-important?)

[mmm4444bot]

Ted, some threads are showing up with moderator priviledges for many users.

At first, I thought that I had been granted semi-moderator priviledges, without anyone telling me!

These priviledges seem to be an attribute of the THREAD, not the user. In other words, on some threads only, non-moderators have all of the control buttons available to them on each post in the thread, including edit and delete.

New users who are not familiar with navigating around the boards are inadvertently clicking [edit] or [delete] and altering another user's post.

Over the past few weeks, I have seen dozens of threads with open moderator-priviledges.

Here is the latest example. The red arrow shows where user CCampbell accidentally edited Denis' post:

I repaired this thread.

I have finally figured out, and fixed, the cause of this problem. Let me know if it happens again.

Right now, perhaps I am going through the same as indicated by the above topic initiator.
