Need a favor for a noob
I just recently reported a request to remove a user's email from one of his posts, to keep spam away from his email, since he cannot edit his own, as he is new.
should I have requested this for him? Or should he put in a request? |

qlob, you are quite thoughtful!
Of course a moderator could do the change, but the user would probably have to request it themself. This is what I suggest.... Although the member may be new, I would recommend them to learn to edit the post. It is useful to be able to know how to edit a post and good for them to learn. Below is how. (Feel free to link to this post if needed). The user that created the post clicks on the button which will be to the left of the button in the relevant post. The user then can delete or change anything that they like. Finally, press the "Save" button to save the changes. |

I was thinking of that, but he cannot edit the post since he has less than 10 posts.

You can click the exclamation mark button in the lower left part of each post, and then write "This user accidentally posted his email in the post, could someone please remove it so he doesn't receive spam?", which the admins will then take care of!
