[13:12:06] <takyon> story is under a month old
[13:12:23] <takyon> I have 7 mod points
[13:12:54] <takyon> I was reasonably sure the cutoff for modding is 1 month, based on previous testing I have done
[13:13:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> stories go into archive mode after two weeks. no commenting, no moderating. unless i'm on drugs.
[13:13:22] <takyon> well then it's still a bug because I can see the box that lets me try to mod the comment
[13:13:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> hmmm
[13:13:53] * Bytram clicks link
[13:14:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think that was a conscious choice but i don't remember why.
[13:14:06] * Bytram was under impression it was a 3-day window
[13:14:14] <takyon> there's no way it's 3 days bytram
[13:14:20] <Bytram> ugh
[13:14:22] * Bytram was under impression it was a 30-day window
[13:14:29] <takyon> yeah that's what I thought too
[13:14:34] * Bytram needs a new keyboard... operator
[13:14:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, two weeks for archiving.
[13:14:57] <takyon> maybe the code doesn't allow modding after 14 days, but doesn't stop rendering the mod boxes until after 30 days
[13:15:00] <Bytram> takyon: what moderation did u want to apply?
[13:15:03] <takyon> informative
[13:15:06] <Bytram> k
[13:15:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh
[13:15:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, if you'll slap an issue up i'll see if we can't get something done about it for the spring update.
[13:15:46] <takyon> k

[13:16:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> by we i mean myself. possibly Xyem if he's still around and feeling froggy.
[13:16:16] <Bytram> main page still shows that I have 10 mod points
[13:16:23] <takyon> a non-editor should try to reproduce the bug

[21:26:10] <Bytram> I just take things a day at a time and know that they will pass
[21:26:30] <Bytram> any feeling that come up, well I just try to recognize them as being part of the natural grieving process.
[21:26:47] <Bytram> I've made it through much MUCH worse.. this will pass, too.
