I don't know. However the first one tells me: "You have the ability to edit this tip/trick" and the others say "You have the ability to edit or delete this tip/trick" How would they know that? Lucky them, I don't feel the urge to edit anything that isn't mine to begin with... :)

Yeah, it seems strange that people are basically creating Tips/Tricks that say "go check out this other URL". If they aren't adding any substance, it seems pretty useless to me. People could just get that information by googling. Then again, maybe CP would like to have collections of links... don't know the official position on such posts. Like you, I would like to know.

Thought not. I just checked and his other 9 T&Ts are the same :sigh: I deleted a couple, but I thought you'd better have a look at the others. Welcome to a brand new decade :-D Nick

Are there any guidelines which suggest whether to delete or modify a question or Tip&Trick? I've just been using my judgement for now, but it would be nice to know if there's something coherent I could go by.
