But the forum used to (I assume it still does) allow for editing of other people posts, and this is not logged. In my time as a player/mod/faction leader/admin I have seen faction leaders do the most terrible and devious things here. When I think back to the real abuses that I saw in my time, really it was always faction leaders committing them. I don't trust faction leaders not to change posts and then hold it against people so they can get their way. At the end of the day, I don't trust faction leaders enough to give them more power to try to screw over other people.
Whoever does this is an idiot and doesn't deserve to be a faction leader. Besides, we're talking about only being able to edit posts and threads within the faction subforum, not the entire forums - a situation like this would be rather difficult to come by, in all honesty.
Still, it should be (and is) logged, so any powerhungry rampaging faction leader can be kept in check.
