FYI, it’s happening again. This post is dated as 18:37:21… the post below, originally dated 18:37:24 is now dated 18:37:17…

I didn’t make ANY changes other than to the wording of the body.

Just a thought, isn’t it a potential exploit to just open a “make a new post” tab and leave it.. for hours, so as to be able to “sneak in” before a ‘later’ proposal?

1.10: “An Apprentice should not deliberately exploit bugs or unexpected behaviours in the software running the game (ExpressionEngine, MediaWiki or the GNDT).” That’s an unexpected behavior, so exploiting it is bannable.

OK, good. When I saw tecslicer’s proposal (which isn’t a proposal) appear suddenly in-between two existing posts, it got me thinking. It’s not something *I* was planning on doing, but I wanted to know if I should worry about someone else doing it TO me. And I don’t think tecslicer was doing that, I think it just took him that long to write out his post.

I actually lost internet connection, and watched a full episode of Stargate SG-1 before I got connection again.

Even if it’s not exploited intentionally, the once-in-a-while accidental “feature” of jumping spots back for a proposal could be potentially game-breaking… would it be worthwhile to change it so that the “order” was based on the time the post was submitted rather than the time the tab was opened?

I don’t think that’s possible.

Come on, Darth, you’re going to let a little thing like impossibility stop us?

Just do it man, you know you want to do it. Impossibility imsmosibility.

Actually, it’s fully expected. That’s the reason they did it.

It was unexpected to BN players. Also, read this, particularly rule #6.
