quote:Why are you against post editing (assuming a time-stamped edit message)?
I'm not vehemently it -- not so much so that I'd protest vehemently if it returned -- but I'm quite happy to do without it. This forum moves fast enough that by the time an edit is made there are frequently more posts. That's why I typically don't edit content into the middle of a post, but rather append it. Still, that doesn't solve the problem, it only lessens the extent of the problem.
Basically, I think it's a mostly unnecessary ability that as a side effect makes discussions more confusing.

rivka, I was going to post an after your comment in PC's thread, but then I realized it would be a new page and no one would get without going back to the prior page if they even cared. But I just thought you'd like to know, this is for you.

I was referring to Scottneb's post near the beginning of the thread. It seemed like he was wondering if you could quote a quote, and I was kind of confused as to why he would wonder if we could do something that we've been able to do for at least a year or so.

kat, last night one could NOT edit posts from before (*amused*) The Change. The limit has been lifted. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

I think what I'd like is a ten-minute edit window, all edits labelled, no editing or deletion permitted outside the window except by moderators. Then the mod gets requests to change thread titles every so often, but that's okay.
Of course, it's all academic. Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

I thought it might be. But the thing is, if I have much in the way of OCD tendencies, shouldn't my house be cleaner and more organized? >_<
