Some of the larger groups here on deviantART often have one or more dedicated chat channels. More often than not, these chats have a dedicated rule post in the Group blog, instead of maintaining a massive topic bar in the channel. As a result, channel mods are often promoted to a moderator privclass in the group for maintenance and editing of the Chat Rules postings. Seems simple enough, right?
Unfortunately, sometimes group admins alter and split the mod privclasses in an attempt to streamline the way the group works. This has the unpleasant side effect of preventing people who have every right to be editing the blog posts, even ones they themselves made, from altering these postings, often necessitating a needless duplicate posting to be made.
It doesn't even have to be a massive restructuring of the group it seems. All that has to happen is the change of the privclass name. Do I get an edit button? Yes. Does it actually do anything? Nope! It will simply reload the posting, with ?edit at the end of the URL, with absolutely nothing else happening. Blog post appears as normal; no editing available.
