Need help with something.

Ive been on here many years, and have submitted many items to the data base, and Ive also revised, and added item descriptions, and details that were innacurate etc, whether they were my entries, or someone elses. Never really had an issue.

However, and I'll try keep this to the point, but basically, an item I originally made the submission for got changed by somebody, and not only was it innacurate in, and of itself, but it was changed to a product that was not correct, and to one that already existed in the database.

The problem though is, even though I was able to change the name of it back to the original/correct item, it wont let me change the description. It just says " Not allowed to edit Item Description", but it lets me edit/add everything/anything else.

Like I say, usually I can Edit/Update Descriptions for any items, whether they were my submissions, or not, but for some reason Im locked out from editing the description of this one.

Anyone know why that might be the case?

Thank you!

James, I'm sorry to hear about the bad edits that befell your submission.

It's difficult to give general guidance on what to do in situations like these, as there can be multiple intersecting rules and permissions at play.

Can you link us to the submission in question so one of us can take a look and see if we can get it back on track?

Hey!

Yeah, no worries at all!

Like I say, editing is not usually an issue, and this is just one of a few times Ive noticed its just the description Im locked out from editing, but doesnt seem to happen to often. Id be curious to know some possible reasons it can happen, but if not its no worries!

Yeah, even if someone else could update it, that would be awesome.

As of now, just to clarify, the name of the submission is correct (Mesa 3Ch Dual Rectifier Solo (Non Multi Watt) Also, the picture is accurate, though I might try find a bigger/better pic so its more clear what model it is. Either way, it's just the main description that needs editing from the 3CH Multi Watt to the 3 Ch ***Non Multi Watt.

A lot of the details would be similar of course, as they are just different versions of the same amp, but yeah. If anyone needs input let me know. The Non Multi Watt ran from 2000 to 2009, and then was discontinued after the Multi Watt version came out in 2010 also, but theres already a seperate submission for the Multi Watt.

Also, whoever updated it also put in some other weird stuff, which is accurate to some extent, but also has some vague things, and inacuraies, mainly the FAQ's section was just pulled from some random place, and isnt needed IMO, and the product specs is okay, but a little vague etc.

Anyway, sorry, this is getting long. Thanks again!
