*Carmel Gibson has spent too much TPE

[37thchamber]

there is no way to know how long it took for the thread to be locked

Well, the thread lock is in the moderation log, right? So the window is the time between his "fixed it" comment, and the lock action in the moderation log... right?

If there was a way to see when he edited the post, that would put all of this beyond doubt, but I don't think that's stored anywhere that's easily accessible... it's possibly in the forum dbase (it's been a long time since I used invision, tbh) but I have no idea if anyone has access to it ... though I'm guessing no, since this appears to be on a 3rd party host site rather than server space owned by someone in the community.

I'm seriously trying to understand how this happened too. Can't suggest solutions or preventative measures if I don't know what caused the problem in the first place :/

his player page wasn't edited because he did not claim any TPE in his updates.

Nah, I get that. What I'm saying is that if he was approved with correct stats and added the TPE afterwards, he couldn't have done it through his update page, since the player page would have to have been edited by an updater.

With that possibility eliminated, I can only see two possibilities:
1. it was erroneously approved
2. he edited his player page between being approved and the thread being locked


....unless I'm misunderstanding how things work here.
