Editing Posts.

[mushrat]

Due to an increased number of incidents of people starting trouble and then editing their posts later to act innocent, the time you have to edit your posts is 2 minutes. This will allow you ample time to correct errors without allowing people to hide what they have written later.

That is all.

i make spelling errors all the time (dyslexic), and sometimes i only notice them after a while. so now i won`t be able to edit them anymore?

[Kathrynx]

Spelling errors are understood here; we all are not English majors anyhow.

[shisha fan]

that doesn`t matter. i should be able to edit my own posts if i feel like it.

[mushrat]

if you read them over after you post them, you still have plenty of time to edit them.

Plus you can allways ask a friendly moderator if your that worried.

I'm allways happy todo it - Provided you realise i'm on uk time

What about 5 minutes?

It takes longer than 2 minutes to read over a lot of my posts for typos.

Alternatively, I'll set you up with a daily subscription to my PM newsletter, which consists entirely of requests for typo corrections

Takes me about a week to read one of your mind-blowing posts

I think a timer on editing posts is a good idea. +1
2, 3, 4, 5 mins. Whatever is good for me.

hey could we also add a place for a "reason for edit" box

[mushrat]

I believe there IS one already. For premium members there was a request to be able to edit without the messege coming up, was one of the perks.

Maybe just write a follow up with the new info that you want?

I do, but it's a different format after you post, and you sometimes notice new things!

Could always use the "preview" post button. I believe that shows it in Post format.

You arent editing your avitar or boarders, you just want to see what it looks like in posted form right? the preview is the messege in posted form.

I know, it's not a huge deal, hence the

And I do preview before posting, but sometimes you miss things in that format that you pick up on after you post. I think it's probably because, since we read more posts than we make, we're more used to the more 'condensed' format.

Edit: haha, and sometimes other people post while you're making yours, and you want to incorporate that into your reply, especially when it's at the top of a new page! Edited November 28, 2008 by gaia.plateau
