Steven P. Administrators Posted January 27, 2010 Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2010 Everyone can now edit their posts and topic tile/description for 45 minutes and decide to add the "Edited by" line. This means "edit" won't display if you immediately edit typos and choose not to display it. People who abuse this feature will be moved into "Restricted (no edit)" group which doesn't allow any editing after posting. djdanster, Phantom Helix, Prosidius and 5 others 8 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forster Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 People who abuse this feature will be moved into "Restricted (no edit)" group which doesn't allow any editing after posting. How would it be abused, just wondering, would it be that someone would troll on about how they havent posted something because there was no 'edit' line in the message stating that they had?

Steven P. Administrators Posted January 27, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2010 If someone gets in a temper and decides to edit topic titles after 30-40mins etc.. Believe me, we have to account for EVERYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forster Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 If someone gets in a temper and decides to edit topic titles after 30-40mins etc.. Believe me, we have to account for EVERYTHING. Is it not worth dropping it down to like 10 minutes then? Why have a 45 minute edit time if you get in trouble for editing after 30-40 minutes to something else, or perhaps unable to edit after someone has replied? Im not fussed tbh, just curious.

Subject Delta Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So basically, if someone makes a post when angry, you think it is wrong if they realise their mistake and correct it? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted January 27, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 27, 2010 The grace period can be very helpful. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmatic Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 in 45 minutes time, a mod would have probably edited the title anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Finally, thanks. As for the 'warning notice', you're saying it's bad to cool down and then change whatever title you made - For an example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I would think it may be more along the lines of someone getting angry during that time and changing their title? Good to see continued tweaking on the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Oh it's going from good title to a bad one, not the other way around - I certainly misunderstood :) EDIT: I saw your edit Neobond *Jaws theme* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK? I didn't debate that people could post topics with negative titles, if they where genuinely attempting to troll then by all means they should be warned, but I do also feel that someone who has made a genuine mistake should be able to correct it. Edit: Wait a minute, this was about deliberately editing a good title to make it a bad one? Well I can't imagine why the hell someone would want to do that but I guess that is also warn worthy, sorry if I misunderstood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewism Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 What about the ability for subscribers to edit the first post of their topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoomKid Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks Neobond. It should help the Mods too. They wont need to help us do everything. I mean if we mistakenly typed the title or content wrongly, we can edit it, instead of us requesting that they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted January 27, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2010 What about the ability for subscribers to edit the first post of their topics?
