Hey Guys!!!

What's the difference between the words "message" and "post"?

I ask it because at Admin Panel we have options like:

Can remove posts
Can edit messages

No difference. Just a lack of standards

What about we create a standard to avoid future mistakes again?

We could remove all references to messages, and only use posts and topics for each respectively use!

Below are two mistakes examples:

1. At Admin Panel, we have two different references to posts:

Can remove posts
Can edit messages



2. At Moderator Panel, we have messages referencing topics:

Can move messages between forums [Yes|No]



How could we (or I) update it to the standard JForum project, if you agree with above point of view?
