RP members, I have had my posts get changed by RP staff. Often this voids me from getting bonuses at 10 and 25 votes. Do you get this too?

My Stories I gave to Rallypoint were edited or moved from a Question to an update and these I have 10 or more votes and one has 30 votes and no bonus waypoint.https://www.rallypoint.com/status-updates/did-you-know-that-hilter-had-a-few-words-to-say-to-field-grade-officers-who-took-ile-cgsoc-what-do-you-think-rp https://www.rallypoint.com/shared-links/stolen-honor-captain-of-world-war-2-sub-chaser-pc-566-only-given-legion-of-merit-with-v-device-for-sinking-u-166

Did you know that Hilter had a few words to say to Field Grade Officers who took ILE/CGSOC? What do you think RP? The movie "Downfall" about the last days of Hitler in his bunker in 1945 is an awesome movie. Youtube has over 86 different spoofs of this movie tailored to all kinds of topics. Our class was shown one tailored toward CGSOC/ILE. For you enlisted and non-military, there are other spoofs as well you can check out on Youtube.

You still get bonuses when a post - link, update or question - reaches the appropriate number of votes. The format of that post does should not change this.

I wish they would do more to combine or eliminate duplicate postings, esp those using the same link or photo. Another aggravation is the paid promotion posts which seem to hang around forever. How long do such advertisements typically stay up? Thanks to the Admins for the good work you do. Hope they pay you something for your time.

Common practice. This is one of the main reasons I don't really post questions or links. I think I have posted a total of five things, if that. I don't really like some "word Nazi" or "educated turd" editing my words in my questions and links. Have they not read some of the mispelled wurds (yes, I know) and horrible grammar some members are using? Why not edit those posts?

One more thing before I step off my soapbox - a link I posted a few hours ago was edited by one of these "admins" who knew better than me, the original poster, what I was trying to convey. This irks me to no end.

Welcome to the $#!t show LTC Private RallyPoint Member, here is your front row ticket. Would you like something to drink? No. OK. Enjoy.

When I asked a question a while back, they re-worded it for the reader to understand, but that is all that RP has done.

Perhaps the admins should ask the author whether they agree or might prefer to keep original posting form and/or modify admin approach. I've only had this issue once - but admin edits completely changed nature of my question and background which resulted in misunderstanding - and I ultimately had to argue to undo the admin change - the original posting form produced more vibrant replies that stuck to the premise and topic. If the admins modify a posting w/o original author permission then the admins should become the authors. Warmest Regards, Sandy

Sometimes we make mistakes and the admins clean up the mess. Sometimes they make mistakes and we have to accept them or fight for our postings. You'll win some. You'll lose some. To be fair, they've won on occasion and rightly so, on others I've won and rightly so. I don't believe that any or most are paid, so just keep in that in mind. Personally, I wouldn't be an admin even if they paid me.

I probably should get censored. I get a bit animated on here at times. Admitting is the first step.

While they own the site, I really dont think they should be changing posts by members LTC Private RallyPoint Member . It really isn't a free discussion site then. More like the RallyPoint Nazis!

LTC Private RallyPoint Member It even happens to two star admins if we don't get it right. I figured it out for the most part! Stephen you will too!

Thanks for the heads up. I do not know enough about the inter-workings of the RP point system. I accept their edits, and I am ok with that. One of the administrators fixed my tags on one of the recent posts, which is fine. Looking through the posts helps me get through my studies.

I can see getting upset if I was really bent on getting to that million or multi million point. It’s kinda like crying over spilt milk , and you had the last glass until the milkman comes the next day.
And then there’s the Cmdr getting cheated. Out of his war medal. It takes some stealth to
