test... what does replying do to FTX code? ...and can I change stuff in someone’s reply without it being obvious that I did so?

(try clicking on the TCLTC logo... where does it take you? I bet that wasn’t what John intended... I changed it!)

XFUT to admin.terms

Changing people’s FTX code can apparently be done without it being detectable (in the web interface), unless you do a reply or view original/raw form to see the underlying FTX. (an eyeball view of John’s original post and my follow up will not reveal the difference I made in it...).

Therefore it may be a good thing to add to the ToS that this (secretly changing post content in invisible ways) is not allowed behaviour. Or maybe it’s sufficient that there just be awareness on the part of the community that this is bad form, just like visibly changing what someone posted is in your quoted reply text is.
