One thing we could do is the change the default from on to off. That way, the scenario you mentioned won't happen as easily.

Thank you.  I would appreciate that and will ask our administrator to turn the silent option off.

PS

I am still curious though.  What potential use is there for the silent admin editing feature?

I'm not asking for bullet proof certainty but why make the modification easy and then hide the fact that someone other than the original poster made the change. That seems like an invitation for fraud to me. How this came up was that on our site the administrator was intending to quote someone but selected "edit" instead of "quote" and completely corrupted the original post.  Give the admin all the power you want, but make it clear when this power is being used.

Thanks

I am a user on a site that uses your software, and have found it excellent for our purposes.  But I recently came across a feature (or is a bug) that I do not understand.  It seems that Admins not only have the right to determine who can post and to delete other posters? posts, but they have the ability to edit other poster?s posts with no evidence that the post in question has been edited by someone other than the original poster. This has very serious ramifications in terms of misrepresentation and even potentially fraud. I cannot think of any legitimate use for the feature. If there is one, I would appreciate understanding what it is and would ask that you provide the option to turn this feature off.  If it is not a feature but a bug, I would ask that you address this as soon as possible.

Thanks from a grateful user.

Paul
