It's archaic and stupid. It prevents quality OPs.

12/21/2009 8:29:48 AM

Disagree.

12/21/2009 9:18:47 AM

I concur. along with flood control.

12/21/2009 9:52:15 AM

Disagree. It'll allow people to take back some of the dumbass shit they say.

30 minutes is more than enough time to take back what you said

12/21/2009 12:35:48 PM

LETS TAKE BACK OUR STREETS

12/21/2009 12:40:57 PM

^^ exactly. they are afforded 30 minutes to edit out their dumbass posts. if it takes them longer than that, it's their own fault

12/21/2009 12:46:11 PM

So...can we please disallow the copy and pasting of retarded and erroneous posts within that 30 minutes so that if they are edited no record of it exists?

pleeeeeeeeeeeease

12/21/2009 1:08:34 PM

i'll tell you what WOULD be a good idea

get rid of that 90 day limit on replying to topics

i bet half the PMs mods get are asking to bttt a thread because it was made 4 months ago, or the same time last year, and rather than make a new thread, they want to bttt the former

12/21/2009 3:51:51 PM

It's fucking retarded like


"HERE"S A LIST OF SHIT I WANT TO SELL IN CLASSIFIEDS"


OOPS, SOMEONE BOUGHT SOMETHING THE NEXT DAY, I BETTER POST THE ENTIRE FUCKING LIST AGAIN WITH STUFF SCRATCHED OUT INSTEAD OF BEIGN ABLE TO EDIT MY POST

12/21/2009 4:20:16 PM

User makes a thread

"POST HERE IF YOU LIKE BIG TITTIES"

Ernie posts in thread

"HELL YES I LOVE EM"

A week later user changes thread to

"POST HERE IF YOU LOVE BIG DICKS"

Now Ernie looks like a damn homo

12/21/2009 7:16:47 PM

^ haha

at least half. maybe more like 80-90%

12/21/2009 7:49:26 PM

^^well I think part of the OP's logic (maybe) is that it would be obvious what time the post was edited

of course, if you could ghost/ninja edit, that would cause for all kinds of problems

I think your thinking is backwards here

walls informed me that we would not have such quality gems as "best friend chicken" if one were able to edit the OP after 30 minutes

and what kind of TWW would that be?

think of the children, man

12/21/2009 8:06:54 PM

Think of every other fucking forum on the internet not having this stupid rule

and think of how much retarded shit goes on here

12/22/2009 12:29:01 AM

The retarded shit is what keeps me coming back, personally.

12/22/2009 10:14:12 AM

then find another forum, God, ya big ol baby

12/22/2009 11:50:12 AM

^^^Of all the internet forums I've seen (besides technical/professional forums), this is actually one of the least retarded.

12/22/2009 1:01:31 PM

I think there should not be an edit time limit for the original post, the rest should have a 5 minute time limit.

12/22/2009 3:42:14 PM

us old timers remember the days when there was an infinite time period in which to edit one's posts.

even in those innocent days, it caused problems. god help us all if this sacred seal is broken and the demon of ninja editing is allowed to sweep across our boards once more.

12/22/2009 4:26:00 PM

you should just stop whining about it b/c you are not going to win

12/23/2009 1:39:10 PM

are you people jingling gunzz's bells?

You must visit the worst forums on the internet

12/24/2009 2:41:19 AM

allowing the first post to be editing, but nothing else, and not being able to change the title, might work?

12/24/2009 4:26:28 AM

^agree

it'd be especially useful in the classifieds where you can update prices, items remaining, etc.

other posts leave it as-is

12/29/2009 4:49:00 PM

the Ernie looks like a damn homo factor would still be in effect

12/29/2009 5:02:43 PM

STOP LIVING IN FEAR QNTMFRED

alternately you can allow unlimited appending to OPs instead of editing

It is of the utmost importance to guard against this.

How about just give users the ability to delete their posts

1/8/2010 6:24:08 PM

I think the purpose of this thread is because gronke wants the ability to take back all the stupid shit he says after being called out on it.

1/8/2010 9:03:25 PM

Gain some weight.

1/10/2010 5:55:29 PM

I'm right where I'm supposed to be. Thanks for your concern, kid.

1/10/2010 6:21:33 PM

I am for allowing this, with the caveat that it not be allowed for Soap Box or any forum where actual serious discussion take place. I suppose that leaves only Shit Chat, but it's a given that no time limit for edits would be abused in there anyhow.
