Editing a thread so that it is radically different to the one people have replied to is also bad form.
He means if you had posted in your original thread to put it back to the top.
Done humorously you can get away with it once or twice.
Click Report and a mod will do it for you.
Don't worry, they're a nice bunch really.
Rather scummy editing IMO, as it now makes Vardaugas look like he's being a for the sake of it. But to be fair, that's why it's a good idea to use the quote function.
For anyone who hasn't read before the edit — This thread was originally about asking for responses to another thread, rather than simply bumping that other thread.
That clears thing up for latecomers like me
Conventional way has been that you can't, but with the new Forum system you can really mess it up by deleting your own posts (please don't do this, I'm not recommending it and other forum members will take a dislike to you). This happened with that "I found Raxxla" thread.
You could ask a mod to close it, by typing "Mods please close thread" but that isn't always noticed, so it is best to make a request in the Report (bottom left).
Evidently, it is possible to change thread titles, so you could add something to it, such as [closure pending], but I don't know if the mods are OK with that.
The real conclusion to take away from this is to be careful what you type - it seldom gets deleted, just closed, and is on record forever !

Done.
