Could one of the admins here set “post edit time limit” to 0 to allow us to edit/correct older posts?
We can still delete old posts, but that is a bit harsh.
Or is it a deliberate choice that all of our spelling errors and misinformed statements be preserved for eternity?
This. Discobot and the developers would like to drive us slightly mad. Just think about the annoying messages that we shouldn’t talk too much to each other …
I don’t think the time limit is a bad thing. Then we don’t have the option to ovethink things and think, “what if everyone remembers that typo I made six months ago?!”
Also, I think anyone mentioned in an edited post gets a new notification. And it might bring the post to the top of the forum as well. Is that correct?
Sometimes it is hard enough to read posts that keep getting changed as soon as they are published. Something I´m not entirely innocent of myself but I´m especially looking in the direction of @Gffp here…
But what about blurring out a spoiler you didn’t blur out?
Or correcting a real error that makes you look stoopid. (not just a typo)?
I agree the use of it should be very limited, but I came across a few old posts of mine (looking for something else) that I would like to change.
Otherwise I will remove them.
9/10 of my posts contain edits for stuff I forgot and/or the obvious typo corrections within 2 minutes of original posting.
