  1. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    I see myself as neutral and said everything I could. If these arguments don't change anything any further argument from me won't change anything. That means I'm going back to lurking which doesn't leave much to target.
  2. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    I can't even express how strange this whole situation of what is going on looks to me but its not something for me to discuss in this thread. So preferable do full lotus but its possible to progress without being able to do it the full time. Thanks for clearing that up.
  3. Editing other's posts in PPF

    He could have sent me a pm concerning it I wouldn't have minded to be guinea pig if I knew about it. The next option would have been to comment on doing so in the thread for everyone to see. The third option would have been to just hit save without adding his text. The fourth option would have been to add something like "this is a test". But its not even about this specific case or if he had a reason or if it was just an accident. The whole idea of allowing normal users to edit every post with the label of other users is backwards. Just let them hide posts that's enough to keep threads clean. True but how many do you believe will read my post and 1.see the small edit at the bottom isn't mine 2.make the conclusion from that most of the text in my post must be not from me
  4. Editing other's posts in PPF

    Quotes are in general considered as being edited to a certain degree by the user quoting as you say if just to cut down the length. But the important difference is when someone quotes a user its always possible to reread the original and check what he really wrote. For PPF even admins can't determine what I wrote and what was added by another user. With such a system there is zero integrity.

    Sorry it wasn't a quote he made just a statement of him about it being from MPG. The example is bad at least in my country one can't just record something I say in his house then edit it to his liking and post in public to claim his edit was what I said. It being his house doesn't change anything there. He can throw me out of his house (hide post equivalent) but the rest doesn't work. I don't care that much about my account here as I don't represent a linage or similar and users won't remember me as I don't post enough. But just imagine the potential of misuse. A user here creates a PPD to talk bad about a practice. The holder of that lineage hears about it and creates an account to set things straight. The creator then just has to wait until the lineage holder leaves and can change all wording of him to his own liking. And thats how its supposed to work here?

    So what you are saying is if a normal user (not an admin) adds this whole paragraph to my own writing: Then no one knows what this normal user has added not even the admins can say what it was? And I don't even get a message after him changing my text? And this is how its supposed to be? I'm not sure what to say about this concept except wow just wow. Well next time I will start my own thread if I have a question about something in a PPD. Seems ridiculous to me but ok now I know. My part was only the question directed at Mudfoot concerning him posting " the statements from MPG that full lotus is 2-3 times more effective ". I asked him if he found that post from MPG on this forum as I wasn't able to find it with the search tool. I just wanted to know how important they consider the full lotus. The rest is from 小梦想

    Why not limit it to hiding the post? Why needs a random user the ability to edit what I write in a forum and add paragraphs of his liking to it? Creating the impression its what I wrote. Just because he did start the thread? If he doesn't like my posts just let them hide it. Thats more than enough power.
  8. Hello

    I have been lurking the last couple months as a guest. While the new design is nice it had small disadvantages while beeing a guest. So here I'm trying to get the full access and features of being registered for the new design. I also hope to get read access to the PPD area.
