FAQ: A MOD edited my post, what do I do?

If you see colored highlighted text in one of your posts, a Moderator has edited your post. This might make you on edge, or think that you did something wrong. Well, actually, if a Mod edited your post, you did do something wrong!

First off, don't panic. Moderators are there to help you, and enforce the rules. Moderators, on top of everything, are your friends, and are just trying to make the board easier to navigate and view.

What did I do? The chances are, if your post is still there, that you only made a spelling or grammar error. If your post contained bad material, it would have been deleted.

Will I be punished? If you just had a small error in your post, such as spelling or grammar, you won't be reprimanded at all. We just want to bring to your attention the fact that you are violating the Constitution. Upon your third violation, however, you will receive a warning PM, and if you continue with such violations, you will have a temporary ban placed on your account, usually only a few days. If you have any more violations after this, your account will be "perma-banned".

Why do MOD's change it with colored text? The staff of the CABG may color your mistakes, and the changes, because they want you to learn from your mistakes. If you see the colored changes in your post, you may not make the same mistake next time.
