> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by elf6c_ > There was a thread in which we all started to play with this- making the most realistic “fake” edited by tags. It was harmless fun, but eventually the Mods came and said “very clever, but enoughs enough- no more”. Thus did we stop with the fake “edited by tags” from [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3624360#post3624360). None of the other search results using the queries {fake edited posts} or {fake “last edited”} fit the description by **elf6c**. Where can I find that thread? Was it eaten by the hamsters during one of the software upgrades? Was it deleted by the moderators to prevent people from getting ideas? Curious minds want to know. ---

Hi, **amore ac studio**. I think you mean the thread [Why Can’t We Edit Our Own Posts Here?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=193449). I searched for **elf6c** and ‘edited’. BTW, your posts up to now in GQ/GD are very impressive. ---

Well, the thread **elf6c** _actually_ meant is [Mods editing their own posts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177561). Enjoy! ---

That’s one of the funniest pit threads I’ve read in a while. Thanks **Tusculan**! ---

**Tusculan** , all you hd to do was search for “Hamsterette” and **Flamsterette\_X** , with threads filtered by the Pit forum. 🙂 **amore ac studio** , that thread was cool… I was the last one to join in on the fun, and only because I didn’t read the whole thread through. Ah well… it was cool. 😃 F\_X
