I was surprised to see that a post last night was edited, not for content, but rather because the script size was large. I can't ever remember having that happen before so I am curious why it was in this instance.

This link shows the script size prior to it being adjusted.

Did I unknowingly violate some forum rule?

If not, why was it adjusted?

Of course that leads to the next logical question as to why others are not treated in the same fashion. I would think if the tools to do something like sizing are available, it should not be a forum rules violation.

If a moderator adjusted your post, their name would be attached to that post at the bottom showing they edited it. Provide the link of the original and we can see what we turn up.

Well donkeykong actually removed the size, rather than increased it. Based on the person who quoted me two posts later, you can see the font size I used before it mysteriously was removed.

I see your post has size=2, but I see no evidence of someone tampering with it. Size=2 must be the "norm". If you had something else in there, I see no moderating change to your post.

How your size=2 turned into size=4 in donkeykong's post, if HE didn't do it, is a mystery.

There are no rules for moderators to adjust text size.

Well I made my post size 4, as reflected by donkeykong's quote of mine.
As a matter of fact you can see a poster made a troll like remark about the size of my post when I had it all in size 4

So I suspect that he complained and someone adjusted it (even though no mod edit indicator appeared). How else would it just spontaneously change size?

I don't know the answer to your question. I don't know how it may have happened. I edited 2 of your threads 2 different ways and both times a trail was left.
