I don’t like that you edited Justin’s post (17:50). Now I’m worried that you might start editing my posts because you don’t like how I say something. You could have replied with your way of rewriting it, or asked Justin about the edit first. It looks like you put words in his mouth and you didn’t note that you’re the one that edited it. Yes the edit history is there, but I don’t think people will normally check that to look for an administrator editing posts, I don’t want to have to start checking edit histories just in case you changed something. Is there some context to this action that I don’t know?

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the explanation that follows this.

Just to clarify as I’d raised some concerns, I think your criteria for editing posts are reasonable.
