Weird... What does it do exactly? The first post I was trying to edit didn't work and said I didn't have permission to edit it

You must have waited to long...

But it helps with a lot of things... stuff you would understand better if you were in an Admin spot

I am not critisizing, but why is there a time limit at all no matter what rank you are in? I think all people should be allowed to edit their posts no matter what time it is. Maybe that would be a bad idea. Just tell me why you give the limits please so I can understand it more.

why... cause trouble can get started easily... and you post isnt' worth shit in the first place if you have to go back and edit it... put some thought into it in the first place...

i think it's like this...
Members: 5 mins
Moderators: 15 mins
Super Moderators: 30 mins
Admins: ... yea right

But I edit my posts all the time, like when I have to search for a URL I'll make the post then edit it to add the link later. Or if I have more information to add and noone's replied yet

I edit a lot of my posts, but that does not mean that they are not worth shit. I usually just see that I spelled a word wrong after I post or I want to re word something.

BTW: I do check spelling before I post too.

I know what your saying. That is what I was talking about too. I think that Lincoln and everyone agreed that you would only have so much time to edit a post because they feel that you shouldn't even need to edit your posts. They think that there shouldn't be too many mistakes when you post it. I can understand both arguments. I don't think that you should have forever to edit a post, but I think it should be more thatn five minutes or whatever if you are a member.

I am not too worried about it though. I read over my posts before I post them.

Also, you could always type your posts in Microsoft Word, do a spelling and grammar check, and then post them. wink.gif


I had to edit this post for spelling. rofl

I don't really like not being able to edit. I could just make a masterlist on my missing member topic, but you sorta disabled editing. Ah well, what's a normal member to do?

Get over it, they wont change such a stupid rule.

Editing posts cant cause trouble, all they can do is change what they sad after the next person has sad something, and maybe that would cause a little confusion..but then..OMG...did some people THINK that it says...

'Post Edit By : Whoever on Whenever."

Just give up on it though, its like fighting quicksand, you will only sink lower.
